• They might see it as complaining about something beyond your control, because the average liberal doesn’t even consider doing anything beyond voting or maybe protesting (although if you suggest organized action, they’d likely just claim that it’s unrealistic)

      That’s a fair point, thanks for your thoughts on it. I have wondered if it’s in that realm of things, but this crystallizes it more I think. Like because they don’t see it as realistic to force the world to change (or are too fundamentally icked out by the idea of collective force), they fall back on changing themselves as the only solution to anything? (Well, changing themselves and maybe trying to influence a few people in their circle, but that’s about it.) That seems plausible for sure.
