teachercd Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 The funny thing is...a lot of these guys on the list are your fake SJW's...they rip on capitalism and conservatives and the president...they talk about how charitable they are and how they are going to leave their money to charities when they die... And right now...I am not sure if I heard any of those guys say or do anything (legit) to help. I think Mark Cuban has, but that is the only one I know of for sure. Link to comment

It's the type of people who, rightly or wrongly, tend to get offended by everything, highly value correct labels for specific groups of people, support things like safe spaces/free speech zones/etc. Link to comment

I've always thought SJW as an insult is dumb. If you're not a social justice warrior, then you're either not in favor of a just society or are too cowardly to fight for it. 4 1 Link to comment

There's an element of truth to it because there are clearly people who take the SJW thing too far. But yeah, the majority of time, it's just a lazy slur used by bad people. 3 Link to comment

There are definitely people who crave attention for doing mundane kind things, but the majority of the time you see someone using it as a slur, that person has basically no good virtues. 4 Link to comment
teachercd Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I don't know the virtue signaling one. The SJW one is totally legit as both a compliment and an insult. Link to comment

I disagree with this. I and many around me often criticize people on the basis of virtue signaling. Not because (in my opinion) we lack virtue, but because we're comfortable and secure in our virtue and find it annoying and silly to see people be performative in signaling their virtue. I see this behavior nonstop on twitter. The millenial urban creative profession/gig economy twitterspheres are probably particularly full of this type of behavior. 1 Link to comment
