Hey man, Virtue Signaling was originally coined to talk about Conservative Evangelicals being hypocrites and douchebags.

On one hand I feel bad for Kale because I was on the other end of this last weekend. And it can be really confusing, being dumped on but not understanding what you've done wrong. On the other hand it's just so clear that the thing to do is to just stop talking about it and let it go. Do more listening and less talking, nobody cares what we have to say on racial matters and to a very large extent that's with good reason. You're not going to have this big turnaround where everyone goes "Oh, you were right all along! We submit our will to yours!" Keep hating Nazis and doing what you think is right and listening and trying to be better and I think that's all you can do. But most of all just drop this one.

my brother is visiting tomorrow. i bought him a plane ticket and i'm real excited. he's never been to my house either, the one i bought and own. he turned off the super nintendo in a fit of rage when i was 8 and he was 11 because i was beating the poo poo out of him in ken griffey junior baseball, playing as the white sox and he as the cubs. i can't wait to rub it in his face that i own a house and paid for his plane ticket and show him the impressive operation i run at work. i really love him.

Yes the arguing around in circles with no potential of a resolution thing really is stupid to me. The soul searching that America is trying to do in the aftermath of Charlottesville (that happened literally a day after ) and trying to figure it's poo poo out I made that post is something that I think definitely needs to happen though. Sorry I just don't think things get resolved and people's quality of life improves by flinging poo poo at each other on the internet and forcing discussions about identity politics into places where they have no place.

Hand-wringing over "identity politics" while America is soul-searching after a tragedy at a loving KKK rally is like complaining about livestock cruelty and then eating a cheeseburger.

No it was originally coined as some anthropologist thing that had nothing to do with anything the right wing decided it meant.

I really am honestly amazed myself at the level to which this escalated looking back over the last 5 pages. :stare:

In retrospect I would have probably done and said a few things differently because I just figured people would be like "Oh my bad I see what you meant by that post now" instead of doubling down and doubling down and doubling down until now we're concocting a narrative where I'm a racist and a /pol/ plant troll. I understand that's what happens now and will be making note of it in the future that that's just what happens no matter what you say or do. When people dig in they dig in loving hard here, it's almost admirable in a way.

Thanks for the advice, it definitely tracks now. I never asked that people submit to me though, just that people understand what is actually being implied but I realize now it doesn't work that way. Disappointing but that's the internet and when in Rome do as the Romans do I suppose.

No, no, keep telling us about the identity politics and how racism isn't relevant to discussing the KKK and Nazis. I insist.
