It is revealing that ‘liberal’ is rarely prefaced by ‘bleeding-heart’ these days. Used to be an insult worn as a badge of honor. Shows that compassion is no longer the defining true-north value of progressivism

Also, many progressives don't identify as liberals any more. Which makes sense, because they are functionally social conservatives.

It's easy to be a god. But when resources show that they do in fact run low you find that it is not so easy to be a king. The insult is to insult the king who thinks himself a god. The honor is the king aspiring to divinity.
