Honestly a lot of people berate “virtue signalers” but I think the problem stems more from the commodification of social justice/activism by social media conglomerates/consumerism. It’s quite a conundrum while these aesthetically pleasing infographics allow for the promulgation

Of pedagogical concepts related to ethnicity and racial disparities(another problem with this is oversimplification, leading to confusion)they adjunctly support the oppressive system that has expropriated the land/capital of BIPOC and other marginalized communities.

Conjectural, but I don’t think the ubiquitous personification of “virtue signaling” is an innate psychological persona or breed from a complex(important deviation can’t explain, too much fuck)but rather in its most milquetoast and meek form it’s just a byproduct between

milieu or habitus(superstructure) and production/consumerism(base), but what tf do I know I’m just going on a tirade ya know. this thread mostly talking about leftists not necessarily the contradictory existence of neoliberals “I’m socially liberal but fiscally conservative ”
