A term used to describe an individual who identifies with the political left but takes their beliefs to an extreme
level, using them to virtue signal and
shame others who do not share their exact ideology.
These individuals are often seen as self-righteous and hypocritical, as they claim to champion
progressive causes while simultaneously engaging in behavior that contradicts those beliefs.
Also "holier-than-left" is often used in response to individuals who engage in performative activism or who prioritize their moral superiority over actual progress.
It is also used to describe those who engage in cancel culture, attempting to silence or
shame anyone who disagrees with their worldview.
I can't stand that holier-than-left
guy who always lectures us about privilege but
never actually does
anything to help marginalized communities!
