Some principles ought to be inflexible. It’s kind of the definition of a principle. I know what compromise is, and I know right from wrong. It’s wrong to compromise on certain things. If growing up means forgetting that, then miss me with growing up.
What genocide in the world can I do anything about? My country does most of them, and I never support them. I’ve been protesting my whole life. I am always against genocide. That is a principle. Not one you seem to share, but to each their own I guess.
So in other words, you choose to be flexible with your principles because there’s so much in the world you can’t do much about. All you can do is chip away. You’ve chosen this particular battle for reasons, but not others. Conveniently ignoring the consequences of that choice.

The problem is they are not inflexible. You compromise ALL the time.
For example, you are perfectly willing to overlook all the other genocide in the world.
Think about it.

I rest my case.
In what way am I flexible in my principles? I’ve never voted for a genocidaire in any other country either.
