I too don't entirely agree with the image I used, but:

• I can see subjectivity being used in the wrong contexts a lot: "We are disgusted by this, therefore it should be illegal".
• Yeah, the self-blame seems weird up there, but I can imagine someone thinking "I could have done more to help the world" leading to thinking "what's the best I could do now to be satisfied with my performance later?".
• The revolutionary might be a combination of "wants to help" and "talks out problems".
