My girlfriend before high school, had a friendship with 3 girls. Girl 1 claimed to be bi and later a lesbian but was straight and hung out with homophobic spoiled girls. Girl 2 claimed to be bi too and later an ally but then said she was actually homophobic and Christian. Girl 3 is extremely Christian, all 3 girls are Christian. She is anti-transition, defends Trump, and also wants to mass murder anti-Christians and abolish their religions or lack thereof.
None of these people seem like allies, they seem like virtue signalers.
I made statements, you can choose to do whatever you want with them. Trying to simplify this into good and bad is definitely a failing on your part.
I have spent decades studying this stuff so my perspective will be informed and wildly different than yours. That is okay.
I was raised Republican, became a Democrat, and now I vote Independent based on policy not feelings. I am very aware how all sides think.
Everything is propaganda. The sooner you realize it the better off you are. Also every piece of propaganda has some truth to it. That is what makes it work.
You found a shitty stereotype that was created by a tabloid writer. I was just pointing that out for your sake. You are welcome to ignore this and continue using this loaded bullshit phrase all you want.
Ok, so your position is there is no truth or sincerity? I mean, at least your being consistent with yourself now, and given what you keep saying that does make total sense.
I mean, sure, yeah, we can’t really converse then. I believe in an objective reality, you don’t. Thus everything we communicate to each other is essentially pointless. I will say ‘this sandwich is good’ and you will see it as an act of propaganda. And actually, it makes total sense to me why you are saying what you are saying, because well, nothing has any meaning to you outside of it’s function as propaganda. At least, from where I stand.
And you keep insisting this term only exists based on some taboid writer, and I’ve been using it for years, well beforehand. I came across it 25 years ago as a freshman college student in 2001. But again, make sense because to you any objective reality doesn’t exist, because you’re going pure 1984 Orwell here, just replace ‘virtue signal’ with ‘war against eurasia’ i guess.
