I especially liked this line in your post.

We do not have a monopoly on virtue, and every time we cloak ourselves in it to support this or that cause, bad shit seems to happen.

I had a variant of that here: Message 33793777

Because we're righteous and they're not?
It can become a powerful propaganda tool for the falsely virtuous to achieve an end that isn't.

I should have added it to my list. Message 33813688
