Stolen Virtue 

Borrowing from Stolen Valour, Stolen Virtue is the behaviour of falsely celebrating yourself as a hero of the culture wars. It's defined by people who seek to attach themselves morally to social change in exchange for virtue medals. Changes that they either previously resisted, or had nothing to do with implementing.

How's that hypocrite Senator from South Australia, eh? She's a lesbian, *and* she voted against same sex marriage when in government, but now she struts around at the Mardi Gras like it was all her bloody idea. That's textbook Stolen Virtue

No, that's just presupposing I wouldn't just be doing this anyway.

Hym "Yes, yes. They're all about giving stolen virtue to God, aren't they? It's their whole thing. Collectivize success and individualize failure. Did a good thing happen? God. Did a bad thing happen? 'Well, if you were doing the jig properly it wouldn't have happened OR it's fine that it happened. Just be chill about it. And if you ARE chill about it, it's only BECAUSE I was doing my pagan child sacrifice ritual before you got here so... I take full credit FROM YOU and I give it to God.' "
