Honestly, calling people out for virtue signaling is virtue signaling.

this means you are also a virtue signaler?

It's virtue signaling all the way down

I heard the Boy Scouts were introducing a "Virtue Signaling" merit badge as an updated version of the Signaling Merit Badge.

Only centennial merit badge I didn't get. :(

What about calling you a faggot

It's so funny that the only difference between groups is the triggering vocab.

aint that the truth

Don't you have to go feel insecure about your cut dick?

Inter-dramatic call-outs, nice.

Don't you have to go feel insecure about your cut mutilated dick?

FTFY

DAE think atheism is a religion?

Everyone virtue signals, it's just the nature of the virtues are different. Whenever we do anything that communicates our values in one way or another - that's virtue signalling.

God that phrase is so retarded. You hear that, /u/jimmy_three_shoes? Fucking retarded.

Nah virtue signaling is definitely a unique emergent phenomenon in current culture. It's stronger than normal.

I was watching Jerry Seinfeld's weird online show with the cars a little while ago where he was interviewing Will Ferrel. Farrell: "I'm interviewing for schools with my son who is in sixth grade. He says things like 'I like the inclusive nature of your school. I like what your mission statement says.' I'm like who is this kid?"

Shit like this wasn't happening when I was in sixth grade let alone further back in the 60s or such.

There was other shit, you just didn't see it. In the 60s, for example, signalling patriotism was extremely common.

I used to be with it. But then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me.

The older I get the more true that becomes sigh. I'm old enough to have heard that one during its original showing, and it seemed like prophecy even then.

Nothing drives it home like dating an 18 year old once every few years, too. Despite what people seem to think there is still tons of common ground and you can really enjoy each other's company - but she's not going to think you're very cool lmao.

What faggot millenials are into is never and will never be 'it'.

>being so retarded that you don't know this is a Simpsons quote

being a short-memory faggot millenial that believes ancient jokes are from the fucking Simpsons

You realize that's not a joke right? As in, there's no punch line, it's just a line from a character literally from the show The Simpsons.

Though it makes sense that a humorless individual like yourself would misconstrue that line as a full joke.

hey now, don't you be dissing dickgirls.

Well, they have dicks. Its right in the name.

Correct, very astute of you.

Thanks for writing some of the dumbest shit I'll ever read. I really enjoy what you bring to the community.

the community.

hehehehehe

Are you that dumb you don't know what community means?

Ferrell: "I'm interviewing for schools with my son who is in sixth grade. He says things like 'I like the inclusive nature of your school. I like what your mission statement says.' I'm like who is this kid?"

There is a huge difference between whatever (((liberal elite))) rich pampered school Ferrell's kid goes to and normal public schools.

I'm not sure I agree that it's stronger than normal. The internet has made people's opinions more visible to a larger audience which comes with increased criticism. And since virtue signalling is a buzz word now, people are increasingly labelling opinions with it.

Virtue signalling has been around for a long time. See:

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

In 1970 Tom Wolfe wrote about "radical chic" and the wealthy Manhattanites who liked to throw parties for the Black Panthers.

The form of virtue signalling and the ways in which people virtue signal certainly change through history, but it's far from a "unique emergent phenomenon in current culture."

This just sounds like a retread of the, 'No, you're the real SJWs!' bullshit you saw from that crowd a few years ago.

r/pics is just r/polotics in a shitty disguise

I will literally beat to death the next person I meet in real life that uses the phrase: "Deal with it"

Not even joking, just going to bury them in the fucking woods. Probably make them dig their own grave and tell them to deal with it. "Life isn't what you thought it would be, huh sweetie? -sips tea-"

Oh boy, another person who thinks Canada has great healthcare. That's how you know you're dealing with a dummy!

What's wrong with Canada's healthcare?

I mean, sometimes it takes a while to get in to see a doctor if its not a serious issue, but over all our heathcare is pretty good.

Not perfect mind you, there is always room for improvement, but its hardly bad.

You mean 20 weeks for something medically necessary, or the 40 for an elective? But hey, don't take my word for it, take all the Canadians who liked our system better for some reason. Hell, even your politicians go to America. But hey mate, people in bad shape are moved to the front of the line, or so I'm told.

When Sharon Shamblaw was diagnosed last summer with a form of blood cancer that could only be treated with a particular stem cell transplant, the search for a donor began. A Toronto hospital, 100 miles east of her home in St. Mary's, Ontario, and one of three facilities in the province that could provide the life-saving treatment, had an eight-month waiting list for transplants.

Four months after her diagnosis, Shamblaw headed to Buffalo, New York, for treatment. But it was too late. She died at the age of 46, leaving behind a husband and three children

Was she moved ahead of the line?

This leukemia patient dies waiting for a hospital bed to open up.

Numerous donors were a match with Laura and ready to donate, but Hamilton's Juravinski Hospital didn't have enough beds in high-air-pressure rooms for the procedure.

Hospital staff told her they had about 30 patients with potential donors, but the means to only do about five transplants a month.

Was she moved ahead of the line?

Sure, you could counter that healthcare is expensive in the US. Except, of course, if you have health insurance which will normally cover most of the bill. I should note that only 9% of Americans aren't covered (because they opted out).

Here Martin Shkreli talks about why healthcare in the US is perceived as high, stating as insurers foot the bill. (later in the talk, I recommend watching the whole thing. His talk is at Harvard)

This is just my gripe with it of course.

Are you seriously saying that the US has better healthcare, in general, than Canada?

Canada's system is better than how he described it, worse than the

Our healthcare's pretty great - not without its issues, and there are certainly ways in which it could be improved, but I'd rather have our system than America's.

I'll take America's any day over Canada!

I don't understand why anyone would. I don't know how any of you can afford basic healthcare.

Because of insurance. It covers most of the bill and we get better care.

How much do you pay for health insurance every month?

Funny how the virtue signaling, horseshoe theory, cultural marxists insist all those terms don't make any sense, when a cursory glance at shitholes like r/badhistory prove this email theories.

cultural marxists

You're not supposed to actually believe the meme.

That's what we want you to think.

Whenever you see someone getting upset about the term social justice warrior (and its acronym) on reddit they're very likely to post in one of the SJW subs.

It's ridiculous. Just wear the shitty badge with pride instead of claiming you do not exist.

Virtue Signalling is a concept as old as Jesus, check out Matthew 6:1

Don't like the poster? YOURE FROM ALBERTA OR THE OTHER PRAIRIE PROVINCES!!!!

Toronto and Vancouver were a mistake.

Seems to me that claims of virtue signalling are just another way to try to invalidate someone's opinion or to shut down differing opinions.

Well then I guess it's a good thing that no one give a fuck what you think then, huh?

Well played.

Destroy all trannies.

Virtue signaling isn't about discrediting actual advocacy or empathy or respect. The term is used to describe people who talk a big talk but don't actually give a shit about anything but looking like a nice, progressive person.

Seems reasonable, I gue-

Oh yeah, I'm literally Hitler because I don't want to share a bathroom with someone who looks like a man. Give me a break. That isn't "mocking and belittling" trans people. You presume an awful lot about who I am. I do think you're right that being rejected by family and peers plays a huge role in why so many more LGBT people are suicidal. I just don't agree that I'm part of that problem because of my feelings regarding bathroom use.

/u/gazork_chumble_spuzz, were you molested in a bathroom by an ugly lady in the 11 or so hours in between those posts, or something?

Yes. And now I'm triggered. Fuck you, pal.
