I think Nietzsche would have called it shame.

The point here is that shame in the broadest category is more than just the feeling a person has inside. It has to do with whether something can be made public, or whether by its very nature it must remain hidden. The Clintons don’t have a conscience, that is true. But neither do they have the sort of ultimate power they think they have.

If they did, they wouldn’t have to hide their sins.

Analogous to this and for the same reason, progressivism can never be sold at face value. It has to be packaged as something other than what it really is, with its overwhelming ugly parts entirely hidden from view.

With special care taken to hide the ugliness from progressives themselves.
