They are total conformists that like to larp as nonconformists. They are in total denial about it.

To understand this you have to understand what they all conform to and who holds power in this country. Multinational corporations and a mostly jewish oligarchy hold power, particularly in media, and modern leftists do their bidding and conform to their expectations, which allows for faux non conformism, so long as this is directed at those they dont fully control, such as local police. They do control the courts In many areas though, and the higher up the court chain you go the more powerful their control, which is why leftist battles with police go largely unpunished.

What they mainly rebel against is traditional western christian morality and white identity, which suits the corporations and oligarchy just fine, as they are also largely hostile to these things because they advocate restraint and moderation and because Jews are hostile to them.
