When I say people shouldn't starve or experience genocide ... y'know, the blazing hot takes that cause the liberal mind to go haywire (i.ibb.co)

It’s like they can’t conceive of such a thing

They really can't, if they want to keep believing they are moral people that always do the right thing.

If they accept that someone else might not be willing to tolerate the evil they tolerate, then by contrast they also would need to accept they are not as good as they thought they were. I'm definitely not explaining it well, but this is called being a Moral rebel.

And of course, it doesn't help that the liberal mentality is very paternalistic, they have to constantly feel like they're the only adult in the room.

I agree with you, and I keep thinking about this part of your comment. I feel like this is definitely one reason it's nearly impossible to have a good discussion with anyone in liberal spaces. It's like a constant stream of condescension that can easily devolve into attacks on the person's ability, mental health, class, education, language, ethnicity, race, country of origin, or gender. I've witnessed it so many times.
