Every time I see the phrase "virtue signaling" it makes me wish there was a real, lengthy essay titled "Is Morality Performative?" or something, because that might actually be interesting. As it stands, every mention of virtue signaling I see is invariably shallow, dismissive, and not particularly useful for understanding someone's politics or society.

I find it useful to understanding the politics of the person saying it.

Pax Dickinson seems to think Jokeocracy was a bigger deal than it was.

Like he revealed he was Batman instead of revealing he ran a Twitter account that some people outside of the NRx/manosphere/post-rationalist were maybe peripherally aware of.

Apparently Vox Day and co. rigged the Hugo award slate this year, including such seminal works as Something With Both SJWs and Rape in the Title by Vox Day and Space Raptor Butt Invasion by Chuck Tingle.

While I appreciate his support for national literary treasure Chuck Tingle, this is mildly interesting because examining his slate selection seems to suggest he's structuring it to have an obvious :smugdog: line no matter what happens. This is, I am sure, completely different from virtue signalling or whatever the gently caress for the following reasons:

He claims to be a liberal – and has Lib Dem membership – but literally all of his Breitbart articles are either attacking Ess Jay Double-Ewes or supporting conservatives and fascists.

Minor league edgeblogger Mister Mean-Spirited makes some well-thought out and rigorously justified arguments about the nature of human value.

Or maybe he just makes a load of empty assertions, questionable statements, and personal feelings and then hopes that he'll be able to short circuit the brains of miserable people enough for someone, somewhere, to hallucinate that he makes a good point.

They could save so much money on this movie by cutting together all of the parts of Hbomberguy's videos where he states their viewpoints as high comedy, but put a crawl across the bottom that says "Except 100% serious!"

It would be the same thing, and about equally as convincing to anyone who hasn't chugged the kool-aid like it was cancer vaccine.

It's because they're morbidly obsessed with race-mixing. They view their "enemies" as, essentially, delivering "our" women over to "them".

I have never understood this weird marriage of eugenics and miscegenation being a bad thing. It seems like in order to make a stronger race you would want to crossbreed diverse populations as much as possible.

A biologist I know once put it succinctly: The people who first suggested eugenics in theory wanted to create a better humanity, while the people who applied eugenics in practice believed they already were the better humans.

Your definition of 'stronger' is a little off from theirs. Eugenicists are traditionally all about treating humans like pedigree dogs, locating traits they deem beneficial and then trying to emphasise those as hard as they can by breeding in a really narrow gene-pool, with zero regard for any hideous genetic disorders that might show up along the way because they now have a strain with jaw-muscles strong enough to cleanly bite off someone's face and that, in their opinion, is rad.

Basically, it's best to hope a hardcore eugenicist doesn't have siblings. Or worse, children.

Sorry I sometimes forget "conservative" isn't completely 1-to-1 interchangeable with "right-wing" (or in this case alt-right) :shobon:
