This article calls out the dangers of corporate virtue signalling. I have many friends and acquaintances that do the personal version of this, and are part of the problem.
Honestly, I think the only way to combat this is to make taking these actions expensive for those who do that. The twitter rage/grievance machine is running on all cylinders.
That and making sure that companies that succumb to the mob, are roundly and publicly held to account for that. If they can't be bothered to make rational choices, then find alternatives to patronize.

- hpcjoe 6y agoSimple. Friendship transcends posturing and virtue signalling, at least for me. Dropping someone as a friend because we disagree, at a deep and fundamental level over something important, doesn't preclude us from having other common ground we can enjoy together. I disagree, sometimes deeply, with some of my friends. I also don't like echo chambers, as no original thought occurs there. Just an attempt to negate the "other". Which is completely counterproductive to having a rational dialog.
