In today’s society everyone seems to be hyper-sensitive to judgmentalism. The minute you tell someone you disagree with something they are doing, you are accused of being judgmental. Of course, it always escapes their notice that they are judging you for being judgmental, so they are guilty of both judgmentalism and hypocrisy! But the problem runs deeper than mere self-contradiction.
As the term is commonly used today, judgmentalism is thought to be limited to expressions of moral disapproval of X, or attempts to correct some person P for doing X. In reality, judgment involves both moral disapproval and moral approval. Judgment requires that we distinguish what is right/good from what is wrong/evil. Judgments are involved when you say X is good, as well as when you say X is bad. Indeed, the only way to say some X is good is if you know what bad is, and know X is not that. The only way to avoid making judgments is to make no moral distinctions whatsoever. No sane person can do this, nor is this a worthy goal. Moral judgments are indispensable to a healthy society.
