What's with federated liberals and their formulaic ways of talking? (hexbear.net)

I'd have assumed, even as insufferable liberals, that they'd be diverse enough to at least argue with some variety from one federated liberal to another, but so far not seeing much of that.

It's weird shit too, like the preoccupation with passive-aggressively saying "kindly" while insulting people too left for them. I've seen it from three different federated liberals today, alone. Is it some kind of "BioShock had such le epic quotable lines and the blue curtains were awesome, dae 'would you kindly'" thing?

I blame the phones.

Seriously, though, they've got their pefect world, their best of all possible worlds. A vote blue is in the white house, they're engaged in a righteous war against evil, the adults in the room are solving climate change, bidenomics is working. Life is good? Why seek beyond the veil? Why search for wisdom? Why question the false reality in pursuit of truth? The demiurge says life is good, covid is over, time for brunch! Why ruin that by pulling on threads and noticing the sick, the dead, and the poor?

The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now. Moralists don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change — not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.
