Can't believe this

which pleasantry is the most meaningful
  • "My thoughts are with you and your family"
  • "im praying for you"
  • "wishing you the best"
  • none of them it's just virtue signalling

"virtue signaling" might be too cynical when it's often meant with good intentions / a sentiment of "idk what else to say but i want to express sympathy" but it does feel obligatory and empty

i like the casual feel of "sucks, hope things get better" but thats just an aesthetic preference for the same sentiment and i dont view any particular form of that sentiment as inherently more disingenuous or anything

effectively the same as my thoughts are with you but more succinct

virtue signalling is a word for people who always do fake shit and assume thats how everyone is

ie. people who talk about racism being bad are just virtue signalling

it’s basically insidious and highly effective right wing propaganda designed to make people who care about positive things look like the REAL baddies and sadly people fall for it

lmao

if im gonna be nitpicky, i think it covers plenty of people who dont do the shit they consider fake and just simply assume it to be fake or done for ulterior reasons when it's not necessarily coming from a fake place

and i mean corporate greenwashing / pr bullshit is an example of it actually applying meaningfully

though some corporate greenwashing comes with good acts that are helpful and it's still not necessarily a bad thing that they do it or consider it a good thing to do blah blah
