quite an amazing position, isn't it?
One that I kind of expect late teens early 20s (because I remember myself and a lot of my friends being self-righteous gits acting exactly like that at that age, incidentally all my kids are in that age range but only one of them is overtly like that while calling out the other two for being like that even though they're orders of magnitude less so). 30s okay maybe they're late developers. 40s I'm genuinely confused.
It is a losing game to do the right thing these days, but if no one does?
Because everyone wants to pretend that they're a good person I'm sure they'll find several mental gymnastics to pretend that they're actually doing the right thing or that the wrong thing they're doing somehow has to be the right thing because they're a good person and they can't not be a good person therefore the thing has to be right.
