virtue-signalling. : the act or practice of conspicuously displaying one’s awareness of and attentiveness to political issues, matters of social and racial justice, etc., especially instead of taking effective action.
If you’re going to complain about genocide then do something that will objectively make the one thing you’re complaining about much worse, you’re only signalling the virtues you profess to care about and not doing anything to stop it.
If you’re so upset about being called a virtue signaler, maybe don’t virtue signal about your vote when your vote isn’t any kind of harm reduction and would actively make the problem worse?
But hey, what do I know, I just actually want to minimize genocide instead of taking my ball and going home to let a monster into the white house and make it worse. But please, keep telling me how much your type is “anti-genocide” when you’re asking people to do the same thing trump and his ilk want. Kindly fuck off with that bullshit friend.
I’m glad to hear that. I apologize for lumping you in with those pushing the ‘dont vote blue’ bullshit while professing* their opposition to genocide. As I said above, that’s the virtue signalling I’m talking about, and that’s exactly what that behavior is.
I’m not asking anyone to vote for Trump, to not vote, or to vote third party. In this very thread I’ve said to vote for Biden. Not that you care.
I’m not going to spend 30 minutes to an hour on every person replies to me with what appears to be virtue signaling to not vote left to see if they’re actually voting Biden. Again, I apologize for lumping you in with the rest of those. But given the quantity of that behavior it is not out of line to assume.
The only reason I ask people to vote for Biden is because I care about genocide. I want to stop the genocide as much as I can, and prevent a genocide from coming here to our shores. I have family and friends who are LGBT+, and I am afraid for their safety and lives if Trump were to be elected.
And for anybody who pretends that they care about that, while pushing behaviors that actively sabotage their stated goals, I am absolutely going to call out as virtue signalling because that’s what it is. I want to see people actually take actions that align with what they say they believe, not just talk about it while sabotaging their goals through messaging pushed by their opposition as well.
You know what would minimize genocide? If US politicians would have to face repercussions for helping in it. You do the opposite you grant the blanket check to the Biden administration and ensure them that no matter how much they support genocide, you will vote for them.
You are enabling it and you probably know it subconsciously, which is why you try to spin it the other way around because you don’t want to face the reality of your actions.
The only thing the Dems care about is power, just like the Reps. If you would threaten them to loose their power, they would be forced to act on this matter. Instead you reassure them that they have nothing to fear from you. And the most absurd thing is, this will not only fuck the people in Palestine more, it will also fuck you, as nothing you want politically will matter. You are telling the Dems that they dont need to fight for your vote. You are telling them to ignore your needs, your positions, your values.

Only what you assume. I’m voting for Biden.
