I’m talking mostly about culture. Most people seem to be anti gun here. Compare that with texas or arizona.

- pengaru 5y agoMeh, there's a whole lot of virtue signaling going on in a place like SF. What people say vs. what they do privately rarely align in my experience. It's even worse in LA IMO.
- gcheong 5y agoVirtue signaling about what though? The people I know that are pro-gun here aren't shy about it but they're not whining about their 2nd Amendment rights all the time either.
- pengaru 5y ago> Virtue signaling about what though? Is this a deliberate strawman? In a place like SF there's a lot of pressure to conform, and it's not in a pro-gun right-leaning trajectory. So what I mean to say is there's plenty of presentation of conformity, and it's often inauthentic. The stakes are high in a place like SF. People will keep their mouth shut or even fly the opposition's flag in the interests of preserving/increasing their salaries and stock refreshes until they can GTFO with their spoils in tow.
