    Yep. Their moral arrogance makes them socially aggressive, especially in the face of uncomfortable, practical realities. They refuse to acknowledge that they are the modern day version of the very morality policing they vilify from previous generations. They don’t see it because they don’t hold the same values or beleifs that the past generations did, and it is the beliefs and values they disagreed with, not the system.

    I look at them and see the a similarly oppressive, prejudice, abusive social control system. They see that the beleifs and values are different. It was never that the whole system was wrong, it was that the system didn’t support their beleifs and values. Now that it does, and they control it, they’re content to engage in similar oppression and prejudice of the groups they dislike.

    It has always been about control, in service to self interest. It was not about building a better, more just and fair society. It’s part of why the left and right are so far apart today and how Trump is in the white house, again, abusing the power of the executive almost exclusively for personal gain.
