Flexibility in Defining Authority and Standards
The speaker highlights the inconsistency in how some individuals perceive authority based on personal preferences rather than objective standards. This is demonstrated through contrasting reactions to the Black Lives Matter protests and the Capitol building insurrection. The example of Jerry Falwell's sermon in 1965, advocating for Christians to stay out of politics when it involved civil rights activism, further exemplifies the selective application of standards based on personal interests.
