this is what really sets leftists apart from liberals imo.

liberals like to decorate themselves with the nimbus of morality but when it comes to stepping up to fascism and protesting even if it’s not like a fun parade but serious and uncomfortable. Or just if the weather is bad.

Or when it comes to being self critical about your own learned patterns of behavior and thinking… they are nowhere to be seen, not to be relied on and it does real damage, as we can see.

    Anecdotally but you’re not wrong. Everyone talks a talk not many do. That’s irrespective of political beliefs.

      Yep, completely correct.

      Another way you could phrase the same idea is:

      There does not exist a philosophy or worldview that one can simply profess to adhere to, which makes one de facto immune to being a hypocrite.

      Or maybe, more succinctly:

      You are not immune to performative virtue signalling.
