I’ll get straight to the point. No one gives a shit about your virtue signaling, except you. Really, no one gives a fuck. You might find a close circle of like-minded people who throw applause your way, but it doesn’t have anything to do with you, only them. They feel validated when you cater to their thoughts and feelings. It’s a form of narcissism.
Those same people will call me narcissistic, racist, or some other -phobic word because I point that out. Is what I’m saying true? Yes? Then, it isn’t hateful. The truth isn’t hateful, it’s just the truth. This “my truth” bullshit has nothing to do with being concrete truth. It has to do with trying to validate your own position. When someone says something that isn’t remotely true, but they call it “my truth,” they either know it’s not true, but desperately wanting it to be, or they are delusional. The universe doesn’t care about “your truth,” and neither do I.
An asteroid, gamma-ray burst, black hole, etc. that is heading for Earth doesn’t care if you’re white, black, trans, straight, Christian, Buddhist, etc. They will destroy all life regardless. It doesn’t matter. The subject you’re virtue signaling about might matter to you, but it doesn’t matter to the universe or a vast majority of the population. The worst part about virtue signaling is the way it seems to be done these days. If you want to recycle, fine. Do it. Don’t tell me I’m a bad person if I don’t. Don’t be like a Southern Baptist who screams at people that they’ll go to Hell if they don’t convert to their specific Christian church. Don’t become the people you hate.
See, I hate no one. I honestly do not hate a single person. That doesn’t mean I like people though. Most people, I can’t stand to be around, but that doesn’t mean I hate them. I’m free to choose who I allow to spend time with. Time is our most precious resource, and I am unwilling to spend it with negative people or people who only care about themselves and their cause. I just want to be left alone to live my own life the way I see fit. I’m not out there telling people they have to accept it. I’m not trying to push my views on other people. I let people live their lives the way I want them to let me live mine. I’m not out there preaching my views. I don’t expect anyone else to care about them, just like I don’t care about what others think.
It’s one thing if a person is so shallow and transparent they feel they have to virtue signal to get attention or to make others look at them a certain way. Intelligent people see right through the charade. When businesses do it, it blows my mind. They seem to either cater to a very small percentage of their customer base, leaving the rest of their customers feel like their business isn’t valued, or they do something to outcast a large majority of their customers. Aren’t businesses in business to make money? Shouldn’t that money go towards taking care of your workers and expanding business so you can hire more people to help provide them with a livable income? That’s what I thought! Apparently, business is in business to get into the social justice system and tell their customers how shitty of a person they are because they do/don’t do this or that, often contradicting previous statements/actions and/or their current business ideals.
Hmmm… let’s preach racist ideals while we deaminize racism. Let’s preach inclusion while we exclude a group of people. Seriously, what the fuck are people thinking? When people with a brain say, “I want no part of that,” they are called whatever -phobic word is in style. The small percentage of people the business is catering to thinks the business sees them for them. In actuality, the business is only trying to make money off your struggle/ideals. They don’t give a shit about you any more than the people they are excluding. For some dumb reason, they think they’ll make more money. There could be a possibility that people who are the biggest virtue signalers around have gained control and manipulated the company into believing that.
Virtue signaling is a self-serving, narcissistic way of trying to control one’s image, regardless of what they truly believe. It’s fake bullshit that most people can see through, yet it is still being done more and more. Just fuckin stop! It doesn’t cause anything but more divide. More to the point, no one fucking cares. Shut the fuck up and let us live our lives, and we’ll shut the fuck up and let you live yours.
