Anyone here hate virtue signaling.

[Trans Fat 41g]

Moral Busybodies and Puritans are not single-partisan archetypes and need to be approached as such.

Social Justice Warriors are the Liberal equivalent to the Satanic Panic Conservatives.

In essence they are the same people we need to get the fuck out of the entertainment industry and education.

I don't want to be told my shirt represents a gang or a narcotic endorsement, and I don't see myself as a "CIS White Male" I see myself as a basic individual specimen within my own race and gender without looking so far into it that I pretend I'm something else. Also you can't apologize to Moral Busybodies, because they will never be satisfied, it just so happens the hard leftist variant is the worst beyond intervention. Which complicated optics.

Virtue signalling isn't something that only left wingers, progressives and SJWs do.

Virtue signalling isn't something that only left wingers, progressives and SJWs do.

Everyone hates virtue signaling. Even other virtue signalers do.

Yeah, generally if someone can't stop blithering on about what a good person they are then it's a sign that they're hiding something.

There's actually a psychological concept called "moral licensing" when people think they've done good. They are then actually more likely to commit immoral acts because they view themselves as having "earned" it.

So never trust anyone who preaches morality. They're just earning their excuse to throw you under a bus.

The only difference between left and right wing virtue signalers is the words and memes they use and that for whatever fucking reason the right is better at memes currently.

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

The leftist moralists infiltrate industries and have ruined jobs over it worse than any hard line evangelical of insert faith (except where they are the most destructive), it isn't even enough to have someone fired over claims of racism or X-Phobia, you gotta strip their rights as a citizen and as a human away. I don't know where youth and SJW-converts have picked up this communism sympathy from, it sounds like a total loss of grasping the context of what an oppressive society does to not only build itself up but implode as well.

 

[Corbin Dallas Multipass]

Actually, not only do I hate virtue signalling, I hate it at least 100 times more than everyone else here. In fact, if you don't hate virtue signalling as much as I do you must be a filthy SJW!

 

[Gus]

This passage conveys the ideal of how intellectual vanity should be handled better than I can:

Never call yourself a philosopher, nor talk a great deal among the unlearned about theorems, but act conformably to them. Thus, at an entertainment, don't talk how persons ought to eat, but eat as you ought. For remember that in this manner Socrates also universally avoided all ostentation. And when persons came to him and desired to be recommended by him to philosophers, he took and- recommended them, so well did he bear being overlooked. So that if ever any talk should happen among the unlearned concerning philosophic theorems, be you, for the most part, silent. For there is great danger in immediately throwing out what you have not digested. And, if anyone tells you that you know nothing, and you are not nettled at it, then you may be sure that you have begun your business. For sheep don't throw up the grass to show the shepherds how much they have eaten; but, inwardly digesting their food, they outwardly produce wool and [milk]. Thus, therefore, do you likewise not show theorems to the unlearned, but the actions produced by them after they have been digested.

Manual of Epictetus, passage XLVI

Indeed, we should be mindful of what we do and generally avoid gratuitous display. But we are only human, and vice cannot be completely removed. So although it is not the ideal to indulge in such display, we will invariably do it from time to time. Just never overdo it and you should be okay, like eating a berry on a vegetable diet.

Signaling one’s virtues shows a genuine thirst for attention.

I know of a couple of 12 steppers who were actively encouraged by their sponsors to do good things for other people without even acknowledging it was them. They then realized that gave them more genuine satisfaction than the virtue signaling ever did. Funny how that works out.

The only thing that really pisses off the left about "virtue signaling" is they were too busy circle jerking over "thoughts and prayers" to think of the term first.

 

[Snuckening]

The left's virtue signalling is more obvious, because they're usually doing it on behalf of someone apart from their own group (blacks, troons, Muslims, etc), but the right's positions about "family values", "welfare actually hurts blacks", "encouraging kids to be troons fucks their mental health", "abortion is bad because foetuses have a soul" etc is ultimately "virtue signalling" too. "Virtue signalling" is really just another way of describing "having a belief based on a moral assertion".

Unless you have some Machiavellian, ammoral, "anything at all, as long as it benefits me personally" belief system, then any political position involves a good dose of 'virtue signalling'.

 

[TowinKarz]

The problem with the left right now is the militant virtue signaling, anyone who won't signal with you is fair game for social abuse.....

Pat Robertson could only damn you to Hell from your TV set for listening to the Devil's music, G H Bush could only wring his hands about how Americans "need to be more like the Waltons and less like the Simpsons", Fritz Hollings could rail all he liked about the deviancy of "Beaver and Buffcoat" but couldn't actually MAKE me stop watching degenerate MTV.

But neo-progressiveness? Different story. ANTIFA will try and crack your skull if you dare march in front of them while any number of SJW will try and get you fired from your job. All for having the WRONG opinions!

The right were the moral police of the 80's and 90's, but the left have become a malignant moral mafia in the 00's and 10's, IMHO

 

[Y2K Baby]

No, in fact, I really like it and think it is very cool. What you just posted on here is a rather unpopular opinion, I would say.

 

[feedtheoctopus]

Bitching about virtue signalling is the most common form of virtue signalling.

 

[sadstuck]

I feel like a mild amount of it is a natural psychological reflex no matter what political opinions you have, because we all want to be accepted by others.

Except me. I kick people's trash over at night and say I'm a homosexual.

No one side has a monopoly on virtue signaling. Look at how many right wingers have virtue signaled about teh gays being evil. And they actually turn out to be closeted homosexuals themselves.
