> Basically every single thing someone does is “virtue signaling”. Even your use of that term is meant to indicate a certain set of conservative values. ¿? Mmm, no? You can help feed poor people or lobby for better housing regulations and you don't need to be signaling anything. And I don't know what "conservative values" I hold, since I'm a social democrat. > I’m glad you were able to reclaim whatever historic signifiers of oppression you’re talking about. We didn't reclaim any historic signifiers. We have architecture, statues and museums about such invaders, everything is fine. In fact this "cancel culture" came from the anglophone world, thankfully without that much success, but enough to distract people from real issues we have here. > For Black people in the US, that oppression is still ongoing, and the developers at Twitter would rather avoid using terms with that baggage in the context of their work. I'm having a hard time believing that black developers at twitter are not in the top of the food chain. Also, the previous point I made about polysemic words. Knowing that words have multiple meanings seems useful for communication.
