They can't argue so they try demoralizing.

They're incapable of action and thus put enormous value in words. That's why they're so afraid of speech, because while actions speak louder than words they do nothing.

It's the left wing version of rightist pearl clutching

Gotta fill that void with something senpai.

Unfortunately these guys fill that void with non constructive shit that only causes drama to keep the void filled with more virtue signaling.

TL:DR these fucks never left high school

Virtue signaling is common with most humans because we are communal and social animals. It is in our nature to want to be accepted by our peers and appear virtuous and favorable to them. Conservatives also virtue signal, it's just that their specific set of virtues is somewhat different from that of liberals. Virtue signaling is more "common" for liberals because they currently control more platforms from which they can actively virtue signal without any challenges.

How can a hipster possibly be anti-capitalism? All of their fancy iPods and Starbucks gift cards won't be here if not for the capitalism.

When you start thinking about all the things wrong with the world it is easy to get despondent. A popular coping strategy with this is to pretend that "raising awareness" is equivalent to doing something about it.

And it's not unique to liberals, it's just that the right expresses it in a different way. Every time you post about how immigrants are killing Europe, you're not actually solving the problem, you're signalling you care to an internet community.

I blame social media, honestly.

Places such as Sup Forums are a bit different. When you try and perch yourself atop a moral pedestal with the intention of gaining positive feedback, you will, in all likelihood, get shut down and called a faggot.

Social media is a bit different. It's incredibly easy to post something, IE, "conservatives live in the past, progressive politics are the way of the future and you should embrace your identity," and expect likes from your friends who think likewise.

But for the others, there exists the thought in the back of their heads, "why the fuck do they feel the need to post this shit?" And that question is valid: what, save for validation, are these people expecting?

And better yet, what standard does this set for the future, assuming this type of behavior continues? You tell me.

They crave black seed

The success of left wing politics is in being able to convince others that they are intelligent, moral, and thoughtful without actually having to be any of those things.

Thus the political platform isn't based on facts or logic, but rather on protecting your own inflated ego and rep.

They do it to assuage their ego

comes out of a sense of inferiority that all liberals have

the need for consensus, upvotes, etc. is to help them prove to themselves that they're not entirely worthless after all

please tell me that isnt a real virtue signalling selfie you found off social media.

Because humans only gather around what they have in common in order to defend themselves from something they hate.

We do it on Sup Forums all the time

>gaaah, fucking SJW liberal ancap socialist hillary voters, amirite or amirite guize!

(Virtue signalling is when people make statements meant to gain social acceptance by signalling to the group that they hold the same values)

Virtue signalling is probably one of humanities oldest and most ingrained tribal behavior.

The revolution will soon devour its children user.

Everything in that picture is made by labor, not by capitalism. The picture is nothing more than a false equivalence.

Where has the whole thing about virtue signalling come from? It seems that it's come into the mainstream within the last fortnight.

Anyone know who or what brought it out into the open?

Been around for awhile but I know Ben Shapiro talks about it a lot.

Nice mental gymnastics. Why arent you in brazil winning gold?

The point is that the guy is actually quite comfortable in permorming the capitalistic role of consumer but virtue signals a hatred of capitalism because its a trendy way to get attention and be seen as progressive.

He doesnt really care about capitalism, in fact, his life is structured around it, his only interest in "hating capitalism" is in gaining attention from a group of people he wants to fit in with.

Labor can't produce without the means of production.

>Where has the whole thing about virtue signalling come from?
People had to notice sooner or later. I've been lamenting the replacement of morality with virtue signalling for years, and that shit is as old as the Bible. No, seriously. There's a parable about virtue-signalling in the Bible.

Virtue signalling is basically just a facy way of the phrase "lip service."

Its increasingly more common (thanks to social media) for people to just say stuff, not out of genuine care or a conviction to dedicate themselves to a cause, but because it makes them feel good to say it and gets them positive attention without having to actually perform an action.

it's all they have

Being unable to reason makes them like animals looking for good feels. Happens that since they're failures to productive society, they only get pleasure from the collective "good feels" they get from social media.

They don't seriously care about anything they preach, they just really need to *look* as if they do to get attention and praise from their also disfunctional peers

The memes of production belong in the hands of the dank-ass proletariat

Because if you signal hard enough, you might one day get a cushy job shilling for the jews.
It's all about accruing social and physical capital as part of a subculture which values this sort of stuff.

IDK if you Aussies have watched South Park which started in the 1990s, but they have ripped it the shreads for 20 year snow

Randy marsh's entire charecter is about comically overstated virtue signalling.

>People had to notice sooner or later.
People have but defining it appears, to me at least, to come into the mainstream within the last fortnight. I've seen a lot of comments on the DailyMail facebook mention it, for example.

Yeah but was it defined as virtue signalling though? That's what I'm getting at, the definition of what they are doing seems to have come into mainstream thought recently, not the act, not the knowledge of the act, but the widespread use of the actual definition.

There's a hilarious trend in social media now, wherein SJWs don't even do their own Virtue Signalling anymore, but rater just retweet the Signals of Others.

Where are the rest of the parts of this. Seems lolworthy

This hamplanet is actually one of the more morally coherent of lefties we see.

The Trump statues were 110% body shaming. It's good to see at least some of them catching that.

If you are wealthy better to seem in solidarity with those who are below you while a)not having to actually sacrificing being wealthy and b) looking good to most for doing so.

This looks literally just like one of my old friends. Dan if you're reading this, are you a women yet?

It's from a lefty's DA account rednblacksalamander.deviantart.com/art/If-Modern-Anarchists-Fought-in-Spain-Part-1-454788941.

The true humour is not from the comics, but the butthurt comments from bonafide modern anarchists.

I will say though if you remove the man purse, tacky scarve and blatant iPod and headphones, get in a good shave/ haircut and wear pants that are less skinny and stop flashing starbucks, this is actually rather conservative/ preppy winter dress

and it is something I have seen both young Trump supporters/ frat boys and left wing SJWs dress in

it really is a moot point by now.

Because they used to do this through religion. They need an outlet for it now that they are atheist.

Its just a new way of saying that somebody is only paying lipservice to an idea.

The concept isnt new, theres just a trendy new phrase for it.

>hey if you change most of the aspects of this guys dress and appearance he looks like a conservative

Good observation sherlock.

Just found this pic off a friend's FB

May I know which parable is that to be specific? I'm genuinely curious.

But, I don't look away from Corruption or War, which is why I'm going to vote to Make America Great(and Isolationist) Again

Good Samaritan, presumably.

Multiple ones.
In one jesus is talking about a beggar sitting along side a road and poses the question, if a man passing stops and says "god bless you you poor man, I hope you arent too hungry" and then another guy just gives the beggar a bit of bread and doesnt say shit which is more righteous in his action?

Another speaks about a line of rich guys dropping giant bags of money into a donation bin while a large crowd cheers them, and then an impoverished widow with only a copper piece to her name tries to quietley slip by and drop it in and everyone laughs at her.

Jesus gets pissed and declares her donation is worth more than all the other piles of gold put together because she gave everything she had and the rich guys only an infetismal portion of thier wealth.

The pharisees had jesus crucified specifically because so he would stop pointing out thier petty virtue signalling.

I only bring it up because the thread is about how people display themselves and left wing hipsters have been slowly hijacking conservative/preppy style making you look like a metorsexual faggot for trying to take a little care in your appearance

but the truth is mom and dads preppy male conservatism is dead and quite frankly is naive of how it is perceived as upper class elititis , and new conservative dress is more in line with working class right wing

yeah, Nu males suck

Why is being a hate-filled walking tampon so common with Sup Forumstards? Is that all they do?

9 times out of 10 i dont open the bathroom door to see sandbags riddled with bullet holes sheltering an isis militant

Does that mean people should just stare if they're okay with trans people using the bathroom? Just stare like they do with corruption, war, poverty, environmental destruction and homelessness?

The idea that you gotta dress a certain way to be part of a political identity is just commercization.

A way for them to make money by convincing them that if you are a democrat you gotta spend $500 on a trendy designer outfit, or that ya gotta dress in a nuce suit to be republican.

Everything is about money, all the time. Never forget it.

>while actions speak louder than words
I've always hated this phrase. If it were true, why would you need to speak it?

You realize that the Romans crucified Jeshua, yes? The reason that the Pharisees are blamed is because the Roman Empire isn't going to blame the Roman Empire, nor is the Catholic Church, or any country that wants to be the New Roman Empire.

Thus, the Pharisees.

jej

I think we Conservatives should just start dressing as traditionally as possible. Like, Togas, Stoles, rawhide-leather pants, cloaks, tunics, etc. I'm not concerned with the clothing of your original cultures - any of it is fine, basically - I am concerned with the presentation one makes.

The pharisees utilized roman paranoia of thier satellite states rebelling by saying that jesus had claimed he was the king of jews, and that he was ordering his followers to quit paying taxes to rome (a big precursor to rebellion btw.)

Is it really that hard to believe jews would want to execute a guy who constantly criticized wealth-obsession and covetous petty behavior?

Virtue signalling is all you people do. You're no better than the libs. Just look at this tread, retards

>hey libs are dumb amirite guys?

fpbp
Its a common strategy of r-selected organisms
>stay in a pack so predators cant pick you off
>create an environment around you hostile to predators

>im not concerned with the clothing of your original culture


Too late. Im wearin this everywhere now.

The Pharisees insisted in killing "Jesus". In fact, they even gave them the option of a known criminal, barabas, instead but they insisted on the "blasphemer"

So if you've ever been against corruption, war, poverty, society, or homelessness, then it's perfectly okay to beat up the queer and kick them out of the washroom.

The fantastic irony is that you are virtue signalling by making this post. Realizing this would require at least a slight bit of self-awareness though.

Lel

Just start ambushing trannies in thier special bathrooms and then start a conspiracy amongst the SJWs that its actually a conservative conspiracy to make them easier to target.

...

It isn't virtue signalling if the person lacks intent you dumb cunt.

its kind of like trying to fight off CTR

how do we know someone is flying false colors

or no colors at all, just like terrorists

Because these days it seems like everyone goes around writing check with their mouth that their ass cannot cash

I had to slap the shit out of someone the other day for mouthing off

People these days lack respect

They're the type of people who follow crab philosophy and I doubt they're self aware of it.

The difference is that liberals put a face to their virtue signaling

All their shit is on Facebook and Twitter and in their IRL conversations

OP is posting anonymously

These are often referred to, by Marxists, as "coffee shop" or armchair activists.

Literally every anti-capitalist hates them, as they do nothing to benefit or push material conditions.

>the entire basis of BLM aka Trayvon Martin, the Syrian dead children propaganda ect.

You hit the nail on the fucking head. It all leads back to narcissism and the need for validation. Both stem from a insecurity.

Well those coffee shop Marxists are the only kind there are except for the hippies who go start nudist communes and that probably less than 1 million people worldwide

What would be the point of labor in the first place without capitalism? Communism only produces the bare necessities whereas capitalism will do that AND produce things for entertainment/pleasure like laptops, ipods, phones, designer clothes etc.

Materialism is antithetical to communism
Communists are supposed to eschew material wealth

Hence the lack of luxury goods available in communist countries (I think Transniestria is the only communist country)

This.

Especially this episode
youtube.com/watch?v=DHHKU4znvo8&ab_channel=kevienpictures

The Jew were Roman at that time... They paid taxes to Rome...

so what are you advising?

and the jews said "yes, his blood be upon us, and upon our children"

how is it virtue signalling when we're anonymous and can't be rewarded for it? spaz

Or, you know. The kind holding on in Cuba, or those who won a questionable victory in Nepal.

Why do progressives also suck at making clear, concise and rational arguments?

Her argument isn't much of an argument, it's just attacking Donald Trump's intelligence and using tons of buzzwords to insult him. She might be autistic because she doesn't realize her opinion isn't special and that no one fucking cares. Also:
>uncensored names

mob mentality
struggle sessions
they just wana fit in
havent u noticed people who stand up for their own believes are not libtards

>Virtue signalling is the expression or promotion of viewpoints that are especially valued within a social group, especially when this is done primarily to enhance the social standing of the speaker

I'm pretty sure there's been studies about leftist vs conservative outlooks on doing "good deeds" -as in being altruistic. Conservatives tend to see it as a personal conviction/ personal action type thing. One does a good deed for the improvement of one's self or one does a good deed as an expression of one's own convictions. Conservatives see it as personal and private where as, Leftists tend to see it as something that comes from a group dynamic: it's an expression of group cohesion. If true, this would mean signaling virtues would be much more important to the left than to conservatives.

Also, if your highest moral ground is group consensus (multicultural moral code as opposed to say, religious based moral code), then you would have to use virtue signaling to figure out what the "greater good" actually was.

There are very few people i know who have these beliefs and hold them dear instead of just expressing them so others like them more. The entire left is just people trying to look good but are instead ruining the entire world, just look at all our political parties except SD.

Oh wow, a Hippy, sorry my bad, hipster.

Lets break it down, they think they are deep and thoughtful so they must always write it down. >laptop

They don't have wifi at home so they are always at the coffee shop >name brand coffee

They think they are artists so they always carry apple products because that is more intovative than windows >ipod, macbook, iphone.

They wear the same clothes the same way Steve jobs wore black, and like him don't bathe either, They wear the same scarf no matter he season because they think it is fashionable.

And because they think they are smart they wear glasses even though they dont need them, but they don't make you look smart, just like either drew carry or some wanna be GI from 1956. But they will never work in an office nor ever enlist.

They bitch and moan about the establishment and that is how you spot a hippy, I mean hipster.

Dont forget military style coats to get that "edgy subversive intellectual" look!

Goes with the GI 1950's glasses kek.

it's the numale master plan to get laid

basically the same shit as being a "nice guy"

There is nothing wrong with body shaming.

shut up
military jackets are as fashionable as they are versatile

Versatile yes
Fashionable no.

If you never served you shouldn't even have one, but then again most of the jackets they do were aren't even modern military. 50's or 60's at latest. Think of MASH.

not gonna lie, I also get a massive kick out of mocking the military industrial complex by wearing a uniform I have no right to wear

I don't know, the trump statue is an over-exaggeration of Trump's body. It doesn't convey or support any political belief or idea, it's just a highly detailed sculpture meant to be shocking and edgy. All it says is, "GUISE LOOK HOW FAT DRUMPF IS, LOOK AT HIS VARICOSE VEINS AND MICRO PENIS! IT'S SO SMALL HAHA! DUMP DRUMPF, AM I RIGHT? TUCK FRUMP HAHA"

The statue got removed by the way.

In America it is called "Stolen Valor" you can see prison time for it. Why hipsters keep to the 1950-1960's look. Not sure if the UK has anything similar to America, I don't care really either way, just don't be a poser. And that is what all hipsters are.

once again, I came here to shitpost and ended up learning something

I love this website

Most of them may have died for Israel, but that's a pretty shitty thing to do to the people that died in the armed forces. I hope you get called out for it one day while there's a lot of people around you that you know.

anarchismy as a movement is sadly dead, tryed to be a anarchistic activist for some time, no one was interested in creating a community that wold work tougheter and support each other, or making people make decisions for themselfs, everyone would just be about riots and beer

Not when you wear them with skinny jeans, converse sneakers, and a $200 cashmere scarf with fake 1950's horn rimmed glasses and a leftist sneer.
