This is the end result of saying your feelings are the determination of morality, your feeling good is more important than the opinions or facts of others.
So now people equate their feeling good with being good, and if they don’t like it, it must be evil. And those who intentionally say things they don’t like or disagree with the person are evil.
This is why they can be “triggered” to assault people and property - because they see the dissenting views as an attack on themselves.
TLDR: liberals say all debate is hate, all disagreers are haters, continuing to hate them is an assault, let’s attack them
It is the same view in Islam, where criticism of the culture or ideology is an attack on the ummah, and to be punished with death. Great way to protect a meme, but bad for reason and debate in a society.
I think this is why liberals like Islam - a government structure mandated by the religion to enforce the meme and right to attack those who threaten the meme. The liberals want that type of reinforcement of their views and suppression of others, including permission to violence, they just aren’t as on board with the sexual restrictions of Islam.
Over the top emotion isn’t just a “liberal” thang. I’ve seen it as a “conservative” thing, generally couched in “Bury XYZ under the jail for something that not even most of modern society, let alone the bible, considers worth doing something much less.”
Here it was “liberal” women thinking of rape. For the “conservative” it’s someone who, for example, tries to outrage him by burning a privately owned US flag.
