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.
I was specifically making a wordplay joke about the word "picking" ... never mind.
It doesn't really work in the context as written, but now I see what you are going for. If you had gone with '...choosing to be picking' I probably would have caught it.
