"I am so much smarter than you that I know your best interest better than you do, so it is morally acceptable--nay, a moral duty--for me to coerce you to do what I want. After all, it's for your own good. If you can't see that I'm doing you a favor, that shows how dimwitted you are and how badly you need me to run your life. You don't have to thank me, we both know you're an ingrate."
Why get your hands dirty if you can save the world with neologisms? It’s a huge amount of work to actually engage with the chaotic and unsavory lives and fractured humanity of those their posturing is purported to be saving. It’s more important to be seen to be doing something than to actually be doing something substantial.
