Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It generally means that we don't believe they'd be taking that action if there weren't a camera rolling or trending hashtag to follow. It's not criticizing the actual action, but the context around the action.

Yeah cool but that doesnt argue any of my points whatsoever.

We're agreeing that the individual act is virtuous. You're not understanding that complaints of virtue signaling are not criticizing the individual act. They're criticizing the unspoken lack of other acts.

Yeah cool cool cool, its an admission to fault to use the term we agree.
