I gotta ask - what is it with liberals and virtue signaling?

I guess I just never really cared enough to catch on or to understand why they do this. Of course, all of my friends are Democrats, but I see so many on Facebook who virtue signal on issues I don’t think they really care about.

For example, one of my Facebook friends, this lesbian, just posted something tonight about Rosa Parks. I know her quite well and I know for a fact she doesn’t have any black friends in a real life. I’ve also seen gay friends post all this stuff supporting “trans kids,” even though they’re not even friends with any trans people. Why is it so important to so many liberals to do this?

Why don’t you ask them?

Life is generally boring and people look for something to do.

The northern ones are trying to fit in with their self righteous, blue-haired, septum-pierced brethren. The southern ones are desperately trying to distance themselves from the “hillbillies and rednecks”. They all hate themselves for being white, they’ve eaten up every piece of divisive propaganda over the last few decades. Virtue signaling gives them an ego boost and makes them feel better than someone else.

Race relations were actually improving drastically until the Occupy Wall Street movement during the Obama era. Lower classes and races and genders all uniting against the ruling class billionaires and multimillionaires. Hell no! They couldn’t have that, so THEY started to turn the media narrative to divide those groups, make them hate each other - not the fat cats who were really controlling their lives. Instead of blaming the .1% that control over 90% of the wealth, black men named Tyrone can sit in their recliner and curse his equally lazy white neighbor named Billy Bob as “privileged” and blame ol Billy Bob for all his shortcomings, then in return Billy Bob can blame “affirmative action” Tyrone for his own shitty life. The cycle continues.

You’re all a bunch of pawns in a game that you don’t control. The only out is to not buy the propaganda. You want to be successful? Get off your fat ass and do something innovative! Otherwise, shut your fucking mouth.

R3 that was a marvelous answer.

Because today's neoliberals do not accept class warfare, they will die before pointing out the true inequalities in our society. So, they focus on identity politics.

I gotta ask - what is it with conservatives and their ignorance of the Bible?

What Christ actually taught, according to the Bible:

• Welcome the stranger to your land and treat him as your own

• Heal the sick

• Feed the hungry, clothe the naked

• Love your neighbor and your enemies

• The kingdom of God is for the weak and poor, not the rich and powerful

• Don't judge others; avoid hypocrites

What he said about abortion and gays: O.

What Christ's teachings have in common with the current GOP: O.

How these evil people have managed to COMPLETELY CO-OPT RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS and convince an entire electorate that day is night and black is white, is beyond me.

This is literally the stupidest fucking thread I have ever seen on this site.

"this lesbian, just posted something tonight about Rosa Parks"

You completely made this up.

I'm in the UK and have a gay male friend who's tied himself to the trans wagon. He regurgitates slogans like "Trans people are being murdered every day!" and "They just want to pee!". It's infuriating because he's just copying shit he's read online and obviously doesn't have much understanding of the issues.

10 trans people have been killed in the UK in 15 years, which makes them the safest demographic of all. There are no laws in the UK about who can go in which toilet. We have laws about what you can DO in a toilet, but there's nothing saying who can or can't go in the ladies or gents.

Totally agree that it's annoying as fuck. Only thing worse is right wing virtue signaling where they do anything and everything to "own the libtards".

R8 be careful. If you’re in the U.K., they might be knocking at your door for even alluding to not falling 100% in line with the trans agenda.

How long until you’re under full sharia law there? The M-s are getting a disproportionate of government positions. Scary fucking times over there. M-s love T because it’s permanent gay conversion therapy.

R10 Don't be so ridiculous.

No one loves to virtue signal more than lesbians. They buy everything put in front of them. But the young gays are giving them a run for their money.

by Anonymousreply 12December 2, 2024 4:41 AM

Yeah, the younger gays and straights too really get lit up preaching to us about "trans kids" and everything ruining society, which they don't actively seem any part of!

I ignore them all and tbh I'm embarrassed for them.
