Virtue-Signalling (Branvhed Off From The 'Cancel Females' Thread.

[Atheist]

Why is it that 'virtue-signalling' is used mainly against woke and do-gooders? Surely the enemies of the woke and do-gooders are simply signalling their own 'virtue' by using the term; or do the anti do-gooders not consider their own views as 'virtuous'?

[Atheist]

Branched, not branvhed!

'Why is it that 'virtue-signalling' is used mainly against woke'

I don't think it is. I think virtue signalling is a symptom of woke-ness.

[Atheist]

Zacs, aren't you now signalling your own 'virtue'?

[Zacs-Master]

Erm, no. I'm trying to point out that I think your premise is fundamentally flawed.

[pixie374]

I don't think that either "virtue signalling" or "woke" mean anything other than "i disagree with you". Everyone could be accused of either- just depending what their personal views are on each subject. It's just a lazy "insult".

[Atheist]

Pixie, I agree with you.

[ToraToraTora]

you been playing wokeopoly atheist?

[naomi24]

If you agree with pixie (who in my opinion has a very curious notion of ‘woke’) what do YOU mean by ‘the woke’? Adding ‘do gooders’ doesn’t sound like pixies version at all,

[pixie374]

TTT, I've seen you posting threads about poppies. Let's not be hypocritical now.

Naomi, you claimed you knew what it meant, when I showed you the definition, but invariably use it to mean something different. It means "aware"- particularly with racism. Everyone believes their views are aware.

[Atheist]

I agreed with Pixie's post, not everything she says. By 'woke' I mean that which the anti-woke define as 'woke' (if they bother to define it at all, rather than simply using it s a bit of lazy jargon to signal their broad views to other like-minded people).

[pixie374]

"Anti-woke" don't have broadband views though. Just opposite ones.

[pixie374]

"Broad" lol.

[Mamyalynne]

Just the sound of squawking in the end.

[pixie374]

Complaining for the sake of it.

[Atheist]

And now I agree with Mamy.

[pixie374]

Me too. Out of interest, atheist, what did I put that you dont agree with?

[Atheist]

Pixie; I do agree with your post at 15:08. I don't always agree with everything you post; sometimes I don't fully understand. But I didn't say that I disagreed with anything you have posted here.

[naomi24]

Pixie, I know what it means.

Atheist, you haven’t explained your definition of woke so there’s little point in you banging on about the anti-woke is there. I don’t know what you mean by that either.

[pixie374]

Well, fair enough ;-)
