Virtue signaling is cheap
It’s free
The Woke are the new church lady
No shit when I was a kid religious folks pointed fingers some....holy rollers
Now the woke occupy the smug self righteous perch of superiority
It’s the same motivation
To feel accepted and to be morally superior
It happens even here...
Remember the old harpie packs that roamed the forum screaming for zots over criticizing Bush or Sarah Palin or being a bigot or racist or anti semite or any smear imaginable or if you were anti Bush amnesty....yes it is true kids
The main target were paleos like me and Matt bracken and Marine Inspector or Jackelope Breeder or objectivists and libertarians like OWK or tpaine or mercuria ....and so forth
It was a much bigger tent here then...but what I noticed was otherwise good posters would go wobbly and join the herd simply from fear or wanting to be accepted
It’s human frailty
And virtue signaling so easily converges there....
I think anyhow
Remember the bugzapper thread? Dozens of wokepack fauxconservatives insisting that all those self-immolaters were “good freepers” and exemplary conservatives. It was a wakeup call for Jimrob.
