“you know you don’t have to display humanity?”
“Why are you still doing it?”
Empathy must be performative because if we aren’t all deeply hateful people underneath, that would mean they’d have to face their own insecurity
This is actually why conservatives started using the term “virtue signal” to begin with. Conservatives don’t possess empathy, therefore they view any display of empathy as a purely performative action where the goal is self-serving deception and manipulation.
They were telling on themselves the entire time.
I’ve seen evidence that they can, in fact, empathize, they simply choose to turn it off at will.
Virtue Signalling it actually a sociological term used by academics.
That doesn’t change why they adopted it.
That’s why they use it for any display of empathy from a non-conservative. Signalling virtue is just something you do to be part on the in-group, like wearing a cross or saying “I’ll pray for you”. You don’t actually possess virtue or care about other people, because that would be socialism.
It doesn’t even have to be sympathetic. Maybe they like pride nights. Maybe they do it for themselves. JD Vance has no pride of any sort so he could never understand.
“Feel free to be a bigoted racist! We also unequivocally support treasonous pedophile rapists. Trump won!”
–RapepublicansGay and LGBTQ supporters also don’t have to watch sports or buy products advertised during games, either.
Typical that someone that doesn’t have to work for their income would say such a thing.
Businesses never “had” to do them in the first place. Pride nights didn’t start under Biden, nor are they being compelled by political forces. They’re a simple ploy to engender positive feelings in a market so they can make more money. He’s basically asking them to cut off a market so they can make less money. They can look to Target for how well that goes.
We never did.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) sent a June 16 letter to MLB, saying that the league “must answer for what appears to be a pattern of discrimination” against Christian players.
So celebrating your beliefs is discrimination against other beliefs? Yeah, nah. That’s not how that works. If it was you’d be “discriminating” when you put up a tree for Christmas.
Pride night is still immensely less homosexual than the Republican party… So how does he reconcile that?
GOP really love seeing half naked exert themselves on each other.
Maybe it’s a sign that despite your loud bot farms on the internet, the majority of people aren’t bigots and your “silent majority” is bullshit .
I give no credit to the corporations. They’ll just do whatever gets them money.
Says the drag queen.
It’s a choice. You made your point. Now F off.
He fucks couches.
Still preferable to what his boss gets up to.
This guy and Mike Johnson are neck and neck for the Most Pathetic Sniveling Worm title.
He’s just mad because couchfuckers aren’t prominantly featured as part of pride.
They do it because maga can only buy so much products. This is capitalism.
More divisive bullshit to make us look elsewhere while the fascists dig in even further. Fuck trumps advisors and fuck trump.
Bubba would like a word
Man who never leaves the house without makeup cries about drag queens
