Then, of course, you get to Sebby, who just wallows in that shit. He always wants to burn stuff down, then someone says "Burn down the patriarchy" and suddenly he's grabbing his hose.

You misunderstand. I just can't abide moralizing.
By the way, your variant of the above is, "Burn down the patriarchy! Fairness and empathy for all! But don't you dare touch the neoliberal economic policies that keep the status quo from which I am benefiting!"
We're all full of shit.
