About this Quote

In this quote, Jonah Goldberg is highlighting the irony of our society's worry of being seen as hypocritical. He recommends that this fear has actually led us to accept and even celebrate certain behaviors, such as gluttony, as long as they are openly accepted and protected. This implies that our society values consistency and authenticity over ethical principles. Goldberg's use of the word "requiring" suggests that this fear has a strong influence on our actions and choices, eventually forming the world we live in. In general, this quote acts as a commentary on the complex and typically inconsistent nature of human habits and societal norms.
