In reality, it's impossible to be a radical liberal and not be a hypocrite as the belief system itself is riddled with ideals that contradict reality and, quite frankly, make life rather unpleasant. Therefore, it's much easier to stick your nose in the air and pontificate about how awesome and wonderful socialism is since you don't have to actually live in such a system and can enjoy the many benefits and comforts provided by dwelling in a capitalist country.

And nowhere is the inherent hypocrisy of progressive ideology more on display at the moment than in the recent attempt by the left to cancel actor, comedian, and podcast host Russell Brand. Conveniently, after Brand has spent the last several years coming out against censorship, questioned the official COVID vaccine narrative, and challenged a number of ideas presented by the left, he's now been accused of rape and various other kinds of sexual misconduct.
