you had to do that on reddit every time you discussed trump.

"I loathe that racist, I didn't vote for him, but I thought it was funny that he said... blah blah"

conforming to groupthink and avoiding judgement by the ingroup is a major problem across the "free world". regardless of political leanings.

Reminds me now of 'I'm double-vaxed, but ..." when redditors criticize any aspect of the divisive issues around the pandemic.

Again, why are people equating weak virtue signaling about milquetoast democratic leanings with singaling about *Anti-semitic conspiracy* mongering? I think the issue isn't about signaling or "when in rome" sort of fitting in, it's that to signal you are part of a the community you have to appear super fringe.

Comparing is not equating. The only thing being compared is the “when in Rome” aspect.

My point is people are missing the point...again, clearly stating it again, the issue isn't the signaling, it's what must be signaled.

You don't believe, that perhaps people are not missing the point at all, but instead your political bias' are showing?

That you agree with political bent of one type of signalling...

I don't agree that Jews are trying to make black people marry white people. Is that what you're referring to? I'm certainly not for white people "checking their privilege" either because as I said it's annoying.

Why are you attacking me?
