when does lamenting about virtue signaling itself become virtue signaling?
- dpkirchner 4y agoAnd when will the people crying about virtue signaling admit the concept goes way, way back. Look at how popular necklaces with crosses are, as a prominent example.
- antisthenes 4y agoJust because something goes way back, doesn't mean one shouldn't complain about it. It was crass 1000 years ago and it's still crass now.
- dpkirchner 4y agoOh, sure, I agree. But it's never considered. People just seem focused on modern virtue signaling like sharing their belief that some people are transgender (or that that's even a thing). It's a weird right-wing cry fest, which is ironic because the right is associated with the aforementioned cross-based virtue signaling.
- RangerScience 4y agoHaha, excellent point. And fitting - I can't shake the thought that the OP article is also "unlicensed bread goes back to 1973" ref: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/01/unauthorized-bread-a-near-future-tale-of-refugees-and-sinister-iot-appliances/ https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/01/unauthorized-bread-a-...
