Ob Du es "#Anstand" oder "#VirtueSignaling" nennst, hängt im wesentlichen davon ab, ob Du es seit dem Kindergarten kennst und vorgelebt bekommst.
Falls nicht, bist Du von jedem Rest von Anstand in der Öffentlichkeit immer wieder so überrascht, dass Du ihn nur als Wink mit dem Zaunpfahl verstehen kannst, exklusiv für Leute wie Dich.
Spoiler: Menschen tun's einfach füreinander. Niemand hat Zeit, Lust, oder auch nur den Gedanken, Deine Erziehung nachholen zu wollen. Kümmer Dich selber drum.
Cynicism and nihilism aren't going to get us out of this mess. @DennyCarterBFT argues the case for earnestness and virtue-signaling in the face of fascism. "I can think of worse societal trends than people — particularly young people — saying, 'I approve of this good thing and I want credit and adoration for that.'"

Good AI, Bad AI: How to Distinguish Between a Good Idea That Challenges Real Problems and a Bad Idea That Only Virtue Signals
We are currently watching the internet tear itself apart over the metaphysical dread of artificial intelligence, resulting in marginalized groups cannibalizing each other for social credit. By tracing the historical blueprints of respectability politics and legal copyright infringement, this essay provides a functional, actionable framework to escape the doomism. It is a necessary structural guide to separating the human utility of AI from the exploitative nature of the tech industry.
From now on, anyone that comes at me over AI gets a facefull of Teddy Ruxpin. 👿

I actually think that the honest signalling of genuine virtue is a good thing.
It makes you visible to / puts you in touch with other virtuous people so you can band together to do virtuous things.
These are going to be blankets for people who lost stuff in the Harcourt fire.
Music First, Agenda Last
We jumped over to The All American Halftime Show instead of enduring the usual NFL halftime circus because, apparently, politics wrapped in sequins wasn’t the vibe tonight. Thought maybe some straight-up music would be the sane alternative. Spoiler: it was lip-sync central. The lips and lyrics were in different time zones. But still, it beat watching corporate NFL halftime theatrics pretending it’s culture. Let’s be real. The NFL halftime machine tries so hard to be edgy that it ends […]People on the Fediverse pride themselves of being smarter than all those "idiots" on other platforms, and then I see things like a campaign to "block" Bluesky on the Fediverse...
All that absence of thinking is tiring...
