    They are like this because the alternative is that they are not good people. They are like this because the alternative is that they will actually have to get up off the couch, turn off the TV, and go into society. They are like this because it justifies the imagined meritocracy that they all live under.

    There are many reasons they are like this.

      But they are in society. They turned the tv off to knit pink pussy hats, they got up off the couch to march in solidarity in the streets. To them we are just irony poisoned, terminally online posters. They keep falling for it, and they're legion.
