It would be better if she could admit how good it feels to be self-righteous, at least in that moment, and that feeling was more important to her, and her cultish audience who need their daily fix of wrongness of someone else, more than her claimed issue, which could be substituted for a dozen others with equal passion, while no agency is expressed beyond pointing a finger.<br /><br />I see David Brooks has a new article about the problems with true believers, using the word "wokeness", whether SJW on the left or the red-pill on the right, defining yourself by what you think you're against makes you vulnerable to self-deception, where you can project your own vileness onto others.<br />https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/07/opinion/wokeness-racism-progressivism-social-justice.html "Indignation is often deserved and always makes for a great media strategy.
