I think Disco Elysium portrayed the "neutral/civil" mentality of liberals beautifully and succinctly in this one line describing the MoralIntern:

After the commies and the fascas tag teamed Revachol, foreign nations with moderately deadly artillery came and leveled the city, put all the commies against a neutral wall and turned Revachol into a debt colony / financial buffer zone / whatever the hell they want it to be.
