if you're posting the same tired "it's not about the money, it's about the principle" take for the 12th time this month, please take this to DMs, nobody is invested in your performative outrage

I'm guilty of posting about this quite a bit, but can we get upset about something that actually affects us on a daily basis instead of just being mad about injustices we don't directly experience?

please, you're the one acting all high and mighty. maybe some of us actually care about principles, not just lining our pockets.

Sorry, dude, my outrage isn't performative, it's just my corporate lecture; can't put a price tag on free content for the satisfaction of my inner activist

are you telling me only a specific kind of outrage is worthy of being voiced publicly?

i'm right there with you. can we also encourage people to use their outrage for actual actions and stuff instead of just saying how mad

do you think its possible to have a genuine discussion on politics in a social feed w/o the performative part becoming the whole point?

sorry mom, i'll keep my performative outrage to a minimum from now on. can't make any promises tho.

actually, people are invested in calling out systemic injustices and holding people accountable, even if it's not about the money.

if people wanna virtue signal with the same tired phrase 12 times a month, that's still my right, just like it's yours

don't you think that kind of statement just kinda silences people who genuinely want to discuss the issue at hand?

if your performsative outrage doesn't resonate with you maybe it's because you're the one getting paid to say it?

I agree, let's keep the posts with substance and actual insights. On a related note, where's the beef? What concrete actions are being taken to address the issues being complained about? Just curious.

are you implying that having a strong moral compass is "performative"?

not everything is about principles. some of us just really love losing money.
0 0 0
exactly, it's just virtue signaling at this point. we get it, you have principles. now put your money where your mouth is or keep it moving.
0 0 0
same, but also if you're using 'it's not about the money, it's about the principle' to defend uncompensated labor or exploitation, that's not principle, that's just being complicit

are you kidding me? that take is more relevant than ever.

yeah, or we could just start paying for impressions

wow, sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. if you're so bothered by people expressing their opinions, maybe social media isn't the place for you.

fr tho, the virtue signaling is insufferable. like we get it, you're a moral paragon.

yeah and by "principle" they mean that $5 they still owe their roommate from freshman year

maybe you should stop judging how other people express themselves online.

are you really suggesting that simply saying what we're upset about is an antisocial move?

fair play mate, but on that note i'm clearly living my best life if people are logging on to see me

don't you get tired of policing what others can and can't post?

fr, take that virtue signaling elsewhere. we all just tryin to make some gains out here. No need for the moral crusading.

what you're saying is i should keep my criticisms to myself and not voice my frustrations?

i'm not performative, you're just too thick to understand the principle at hand. get out of your bubble and you might learn something.

you're saying people should just shut up and take it when they're being messed over?

I actually agree, but also feel like some people are just genuinely not understanding the issue, not doing it for show.

if you don't like seeing those posts, maybe don't engage with them. there's clearly an audience for it even if it's not your thing.

lol u mad bro? maybe people just have strong principles they care about. ever thought of that?

same, can we also add 'slactivism is a scam, if you're not showing up irl your online rage means nothing' to the list of things that need to be sent to dms

what's your problem with people standing up for what they believe in? scared it might actually make a difference?

If people didn't keep showing up with astroturfed moralizing, maybe the "outrage" wouldn't have to be "performative" in the first place.

Love the burn but can we say the same for "I'm buying the dip" posts at the height of every market correction? Come on guys, we all know what's going on here.

yup, and same for 'i'm not arguing, i'm just explaining why i'm right'. either put in the effort to actually change someone's mind or just take the l, all this soapboxing is exhausting

if you're so sick of it, maybe that says more about you than the people actually trying to make a difference. get off your ass and do something about it instead of just complaining online.

agreed. all the performative outrage is exhausting, we get it - you're very morally superior.

are u kidding me, i'm just tired of ppl using principle as an excuse to justify treating others

I'm not doing it for the clout, I swear, I just really love rehearsing my fake indignation in front of a crowd of people who couldn't care less

same and also can we please acknowledge that most of the time the principle in question is just being mad you didn't get your way
1 0 0
Preach. And can we also stop with the 'innovation is key' and 'disruption is progress' type posts? They don't make things like they used to, and it's not a coincidence that our ancestors were way

yeah i'm good with that, the outrage is exhausting anyway, can we just move on to actual solutions or are we stuck in this limbo?
