not even close to the same thing.
Playing a game a football requires many players - helping out someone less fortunate than yourself requires zero involvement of others.
Claiming "if only other people would join in I would do the right thing', is worse than virtue signaling, it.s disgusting.
- renewiltord 5y agoLet's not get carried away here with emotional language. Perhaps you could see it as a giant rock lying on someone's leg and this guy is saying "If others will help, I will lend my strength to lift the rock". He just doesn't want to push the rock by himself alone because it won't work. Rock's too big. It's not an outlandish sentiment so I don't think it needs all this "disgusting" and "virtue signaling" and "right thing" stuff. It's just "I believe we need group action to have outcomes. I am willing to contribute in such a group". There are loads of such examples: - Indiegogo - Aforementioned Rock - Kickstarter There's some minimum activation energy necessary for rock to get off leg and if we cannot accumulate that, it is possible for energy to be spent elsewhere more productively.
