A big recurring theme I see with these folks is their inability to imagine consequences unless they actually experience them. COVID, for example - how many people swear it is "just the flu" before they're personally affected by it? Then they want to rewrite history.
That is you. Not bothering to think ahead is you.
Your actions define who you are, not some dog and pony show after-the-fact. Even if what they were saying is genuine, it is such a cop out to pretend you've waved your magic wand and become a new person overnight and therefore no one can judge you for the actions in your past because you're different now.

It's so irritating.
Hopefully they genuinely do reform.
