A term used to describe an individual who identifies with the political left but takes their beliefs to an extreme level, using them to virtue signal and shame others who do not share their exact ideology.
These individuals are often seen as self-righteous and hypocritical, as they claim to champion progressive causes while simultaneously engaging in behavior that contradicts those beliefs.
Also "holier-than-left" is often used in response to individuals who engage in performative activism or who prioritize their moral superiority over actual progress.
It is also used to describe those who engage in cancel culture, attempting to silence or shame anyone who disagrees with their worldview.

I can't stand that holier-than-left guy who always lectures us about privilege but never actually does anything to help marginalized communities!
