The British have a history of telling people (other than them) in places they've colonized how to live and behave.* Lizzie is just continuing the tradition. I just don't think she will ever figure it out. Not that tendency to meddle, nor the fact that the only thing you change by pissing people off is creating a group of pissed off people who will no longer listen to you.

You'll get a lot of attention and you get to avoid taking care of business in your personal world for a while though. Have fun with the dominant/submissive games.

It's just another version of "holier-than-thou".

It's impersonal. You get to talk about your ideals and people who are not your people in a land that is not your land, far, far away from your own life.

Or perhaps you think your attempt to shame people will do something positive, but it doesn't make sense to me... (I note that "making sense" is probably not one of your main goals.)

* All nations with the upper hand do that. The British were prominent in America though, and Lizzie's carrying their standard in this thread. Same know-it-all shit/different venue.
