How much more common is this type of person nowadays? Using a technical book to engage in hamfisted virtue signalling is such incredible cringe!

- colemickens 9y agoBoy I love when people use the phrase "virtue signaling". It's the new "SJW", in the sense that it's a bullshit phrase used by a political side in what is almost always the result of projecting more than anything else. It's so much easier than when the same sentiment is disguised and dressed up, so I know more immediately to roll my eyes and move on. Thanks. edit: Sorry, I shouldn't have replied. Didn't realize this person had negative net karma.
- KODeKarnage 9y agoI hate that a perfectly valid term like "virtue signalling" is co-opted by a certain side of politics and people from the other side are complicit in that appropriation. The same thing happened with the term "dog whistle". Which I am sure you would have deployed at some point. A "virtue signal" is when someone says something for no other reason than to represent something about themselves. And negative karma doesn't mean anything. All it means is that you had wrong-think in an echo chamber post. One set of negative scores was for pointing out the (inevitable) inefficiency of public services, another was for criticising a guy who complained about an OS dev doing his own project instead of contributing to another one, another was for being critical of new Tech-Allah Elon Musk, and the final one was for calling someone out for being close-minded and spreading FUD about an article they didnt even try to understand.
