David Hogg can be "uncivil" towards opponents (see video). Why then should those who are "uncivil" towards him have their careers destroyed?

First an example of what Hogg apparently views as "civil discourse," using profanity and wild accusations to attack people who disagree with him:

This is important because it informs how people are allowed by the culture to respond to and disagree with what he says. He's allowed to sling mud, but no one else can retaliate or criticize him.

First, Hogg insinuates that he was rejected by several colleges because they "don't want to support him in changing the world." This ignores the fact that college applications take a long time to process, that more than likely he applied before the shooting and CERTAINLY before his current cultural prominence, so the decision to reject him was based on his grades, not his activism:

Critics point this out:

He reacts badly to this, demanding that either she or her advertisers be put out of business for daring to make the criticism:

She apologizes (stupid move, IMO):

He rejects her apology, demanding a denouncement of "mudslinging at children", despite all the mud he has slung.

Why the double standard?

Update:

And so the moving to the wrong categories begins, in an effort to squelch my question from being answered or provoking thoughts. It's bad enough that I'm shadowbanned so that my answers to the questions of others will never be seen by anyone but me and possibly the question-asker. Now you're going to prevent me from asking a question of my desired audience too?

Update 2:

This is a question for the Politics and Government section of the board. DO NOT MOVE IT AGAIN.

Update 3:

Another conservative successfully silenced on your platform. Good job.

    I was just pondering this question myself and thought of something from the golden age of television that reminded me of Hogg now that he is using Twitter as his own personal army...

    Yeah, you ranting, raving, and telling lies about some kid isn't being uncivil.

    The Hogg is burning up his fifteen by going full-on political lackey. It is probably his dad encouraging him to whore-out for the Leftwing media.
