See, this is why you guys are a pain to have any kind of discussion with. Even if there is a good point somewhere in your ideology, no one can get to it because they have to get past all the non-issue hills you are all willing to die on for no reason.

Why should any one take you seriously if you can’t admit that you, along with everyone else, virtue signals? Should I expect more reasonable arguments from you once we start talking though your other points? My bet is no.

Maybe one day I will meet someone who can have a discussion like a grown up and I will understand your side to this. Until then, I will have to assume all you guys are just idiots.

I see no further value in discussing this with you. I wish you luck on your journey.

Tell him it’s not going to happen. It’s okay if it doesn’t. The important part is he tried.

To add on to the theory part. Don’t just read it, watch it too! There are a lot of YouTubers out there that do a good job covering it. Also, keep in mind if you’re reading older theory, there’s probably better versions of it out now. Stuff that has had more time to cook and is more applicable to what’s happening today.

Wow, this reply seems like it is the public expression of opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one’s good character or social conscience or the moral correctness of one’s position on a particular issue.

Are you sure you’re also not virtue signaling? I think it’s okay if you are. Most people do it (The people who don’t, don’t have any point to make).

Great! Would you agree then that you are also virtue signaling by stating that you didn’t vote for Harris?

Just be aware that people might be into 4B for the purpose of man-hating. A lot of times man-hating extends to transphobia.

The ideological basis is strong.

Please don’t take my response to you in a negative manner I’m just pointing out what you did. You are free to self reflect on it however you wish. If your position has merit it can stand on its own without resorting to virtue signalling.

Ok, I found this soo funny. I don’t know if you know that your doing it, but all your replies to me have been oozing with contempt. Are you for real? Of course I am taking your posts in a negative manner. How would anyone not?

That is besides the point.

by definition. virtue signalling is where a person makes statements that identifies them as part of the ‘group’ they are communicating with in order to make unacceptable actions acceptable.

When I google “virtue signaling definition” this is the definition I get “the public expression of opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one’s good character or social conscience or the moral correctness of one’s position on a particular issue.”

Do my actions/words still apply? If so, how?

Great! Totally agree. Can you guys make a forum or something separate from Lemmy where you post all of the assassination plans or whatever it is you do?

I’d rather the Lemmy admins not getting arrested day one of Trump’s presidency.

How am I virtue signaling? Also, I agree, we are in a era of populism, I think this last election showed that liberal policy wonkery does not sell anymore.

Democrats need to change their tact if they’re planning on winning any more elections.

We will all be sorry she lost. Also I voted for the lesser of two evils here. Kamala and I are not ideology aligned. Also I agree with most of your critiques of her campaign, but I think any democratic would have made these mistakes.

Oh yeah, I was arguing with them all the time. I figured they were bots. Seems like they have all dried up right after the election.

Leftist here. I voted for Kamala. All the leftist media I consumed argued for voting for Kamala. All the leftists I knew vote for Kamala.

What are you talking about?

Everyone is retarded and the capital class owns all the large media outlets and the capital class are the major political donors and the capital class likes Republicans because they can make more money when they are in charge. This election was an uphill battle to begin with. Dunking on women is not going to be productive.

And I love them for it. Seriously comfortable society is built on and by nerds.

I still have hope that we will have a democracy in 4 years. We’ll see how it goes. It might be time to get a firearm and start putting in some range time.

Let’s all be honest, this time around you’re getting deported with your grandpa. It probably doesn’t matter if you’re a legal citizen or not.

To live is to be cringe. Just don’t be a fascist.

Well, fascism will still exist if you ban Trump and GOP.

One illegal act doesn’t justify rape.

No, I said expectation, not standard. You do know there is a difference right?
