@p @PurpCat @ins0mniak The article makes the point of standing on principle’s sake sometimes being a virtue-signal. I can’t outright disagree.
I often find myself struggling with supporting something I believe in my heart to even it’s most absolute extremes. There can be many reasons for this, and often one I tackle is what implications does it have for freedom. Of course there’s the obvious virtue-signal angle, especially when supporting it would only hurt my position.
Still haven’t figured out how to square this circle.
