(34,905 posts)The accusation that Individual A (The one accused of "virtue signaling" ) by Individual B (The one accusing Individual A of "virtue signaling" ) is judging themselves less severely than they are judging others is itself a a judgment on the part of Individual B, they would "never do that", they are "better and take the high road compared to Individual A". Is that about right? It's like that scene in the movie Goldmember where Nigel Powers played by Michael Caine said "There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch."
The irony is so thick with the concept you could cut it with a knife, and if it wasn't just a thought terminating cliche and right wing smear, it would make me wonder if the whole thing was thought up by some new ground hipster artist who wanted to create new forms of art in the form of linguistic memes.
And just to repeat, the video is still on the same level as child pornography.
