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.
Ok but what about people with performative virtues who place themselves in situations where they're expected to perform virtuously? For instance, things like alchoholics anonymous or Mike Johnson's Covenent Eyes app? ( https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/11/01/mike-johnson-son-abstinence-partners/ )
