Moral relativism, lack of a stated moral framework, and collective outrage at "safe" subjects.
I absolutely HATE the left for their ambiguity. It flies in the face of my personal belief that the left represents the intelligent, open minded intellectual that is above tribalism and pettiness, and has a well thought out moral framework that they equally to every situation.
This is exactly how I do my own personal politics. I support civil rights and feminism because of a moral code. As I can not support abortion, because of said code.
Thar code being, "Killing is wrong. Forcing someone to live their life in any way contrary to how they wish to live, is wrong. Except in the case where the way one lives is a danger to others."

Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
I didn't feel any pleasure from hearing their stories, because I know these people will never see the appropriate punishment.
A few years in a comfy minimum security prison, then right back on their feet like nothing happened. Nothing but a financial slap on the wrist and potential royalties from books and movies about their 'struggles'.
