Glen Malley on Nostr: I don't like the use of "virtue signal" as a negative because we live in a society ...
I don't like the use of "virtue signal" as a negative because we live in a society now where Nazis and fascists and racists run rampant and free because through silence they've come to be emboldened and think their views are acceptable, and their loudness and boldness emboldened other quieter secret Nazis into being more active.
I'm not saying we can defeat them by shouting over them louder, but I'm saying anything that clearly tells them they're not acceptable around your spaces is important.
