It is worse than lazy to consider all views morally equivalent.

It is aiding and abetting evil. It actively undermines reasoned discourse.

This is the point Jon Stewart was trying to make way back in 2004 when he took down Crossfire. The situation clearly has not improved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossfire_(TV_series)#Jon_Stew...

Except for your last point about Jon Stewart, your point could easily have been made by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom%C3%A1s_de_Torquemada

Once you have a moral compass that is not even open to debate, it is a short step to suppressing all debate and even persecution of the "filthy scum" that dare question your morals.
