I simply stated that I found it “amazing”. How some Freeper’s can avidly support people and organizations that force feed them their woke bullsh!T continuously.

Personally, I find it curious how some people can so easily divorce their beliefs from their behaviors. How you can equate “virtue signaling” and the fact that a person finds this conduct to be somewhat incredulous seems inexplicable.

A person who holds a given set of beliefs and who’s behavior is completely consistent with those beliefs would simply be honoring ones own values.

Your premise however is like calling a devoutly religious person who admits going to church regularly a virtue signaler”

Apparently you’re going to need a lesson on Virtual Signaling 101.

A virtue signaler shows they are “better” than then a select group by explaining why they don’t indulge in a certain activity.

Vegans are a perfect example. “I don’t understand how people can condone the slaughter of defenseless animals and eat meat. I choose not too, and therefore am a vegan.” Virtue signaling. I’m “better” than you because i don’t engage in a certain activity.

So lets look at your words. “I simply stated that I found it “amazing”. How some Freeper’s can avidly support people and organizations that force feed them their woke bullsh!T continuously.” In other words, you’re “better” than us because you’ve decided to not watch professional sports.

If you don’t want to watch pro sports, good for you! Live and let live. Thats fine by me. When you lecture those of who still do, thats when you become a virtual signaler. Congratulations.
