Why are you virtue signalling for Trump? Virtue signalling is an in group competition where the main goal to let others in your group know how virtuous you are, not to accomplish goals or change minds. For instance, the London mayor saying Trump's state visit should be canceled. It would not go one ounce towards accomplishing what Mr. Kahn wants, and would actually hurt the UK. But the goal was to show everyone how moral and correct his political opinions are. That's the most important thing. What I do is attempt argue for a position and deconstruct what I see as the incorrect arguments of others..

Are Pollsters really allowed to ask rhetorical questions when the people being asked don't know how extreme the screening already is?

But I'll do it anyway. First they came for the Hearts' fans, and I didn't speak out, because I was not a Hearts fan. Then they came for the Dundee fans, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Dundee fan. Then they came for the Motherwell fans, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Motherwell fan Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You argue that it's morally right to argue for American and British white supremacy, and Trump is a great and moral man for leading in that direction. Utterly pointless in that it won't gain you any converts. but you're "virtue signalling" to the odd banana or fool on here who already agree with you.

Deplorable Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Cubans have the right to permanent residence after living in the US for 1 year according to US law. It was the policy of every US President since Lyndon Johnson to parole any Cuban reaching US territory for the one year until they qualified for permanent residence. In the last month of his Presidency Obama announced that he would not accept Cubans into the US except through the normal immigration system. He signed an executive order that all Cubans caught at the Mexican border and on the Florida beaches should be immediately deported back to Cuba. This policy has stranded thousands of Cubans in Mexico on their way to the US. Where were the protests? Where were the pro-bono lawyers lining up to help? Where were the Democrats crying on TV? Where were the condemnations for foreign leaders? Remember, Cubans can be subject to jail for attempting to reach the US. Even teens have been put into prison with the most hardcore murderers for this crime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Do you favour or oppose" followed by the options 'yes and no'? We'll presume the breakdowns should've been 'favour' and 'oppose' and say the thing about populism is that it is popular, at least until you educate people about the facility or consequences of the policy.

I have a position and I argue it. As do the many people who protest about Trump. You can't invent a phrase and expect it only to be used against your enemies. It's not how language works. It's empty anyway, invented by a Spectator/Telegraph hack and adopted by the altright kiddies on 4chan. I'm surprised you undermine what credibility you have by using it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
