I am curious, sociologically, what liberals get out of policing everyone so stringently, being so contract-oriented, denying joy and creativity in many to “protect” a tiny few who don’t even care or need protection? This seems like just plain old conservatism reframed to me, with a heaping dose of prudishness and white saviorism.

Of course that doesn’t answer the question of what they get out of it, but I don’t think anything will. Psychological problems are not easily diagnosable.
