    I really like this question, I couldn’t possibly get to the bottom of it but here’s a couple of half-explanations/related phenomena:

    • The simple desire to own the libs. They understand what freedom and personal responsibility is, but also really, really want to DEBATE ME BRO with someone that they don’t like.
    • Legitimate paranoia that one day somebody is gonna 1984 them, so they’re morally responsible for constantly pushing social boundaries.
    • Virtue signaling, like the post alludes to.
