They want the illusion of appearing virtuous without any of the hard work or dedication that comes with who they make themselves out to be. My narcissistic grandma, may she rest in piss, is a good example of this. She had this habit of finding some stray dog at her work and gush how the poor thing needs a home and has to be taken care of. You think she did it herself? Nope! She would just dump the responsibility on us without my family having a say or taking in any form of consideration on our behalf.

Its the same thing when you hear these sociopathic socialists say we must open up our hearts and homes to hordes of incoming illegal aliens. But when asked if they'd take any in, the just come up with excuses like they have no room, or they have too much shit in their lives to do that right now.
