Umberto Eco has the best articulation of Fascist failings. "The enemy is simultaneously too strong to ignore yet too weak to put up any real resistance." (sic) This leads to a weird kind of hysteria.
Western liberalism has a very similar problem, "The enemy is simultaneously too strong to ignore yet too weak for us to have to do anything ourselves." I think this well explains why they are so preachy yet donate less to charity and politics than the conservatives they accuse of being greedy and evil, bitch about climate change but don't lower their own energy consumption, so on and so forth.
