If you're going to whine about virtue signalling endlessly, know it when you see, and know it when you say it. Good for you, you've established your liberal bonafides. So what? You can be all of the above and still agree with or unwittingly repeat the alt-reichs rhetoric. Frankly, for most of political history libs were pretty godamned racist. It's unfashionable to be so today but that long relationship goes to show that the three states of being aren't fundamentally incompatible.
Arguing that you're not alt-right by describing the ways in which you're not alt-right isn't virtue signalling. Standing up in a Starbucks and saying "How dare you braid your hair in the traditional native style! That's cultural appropriate, bruh!" is virtue signalling.
You can keep saying that free speech is an alt-right device, and I'll keep explaining why that's a terrible position. Or maybe I can find a book quote and just say "ibid." every time I have to repeat myself, because Matt Damon sounded cool when he said it in Good Will Hunting.
Sound silly?
I keep telling you that the freeze peach grift is white supremacist rhetoric, because it is. So, if you run it, people are going to think to themselves "hmn, this guy sounds like a white supremacist". That's how that works, lol. Further, there is no threat to your or their free speech, it's an entirely imagined bit of white victimization that has nothing whatsoever to do with free speech. You have somehow managed to arrive at the same conclusion that the alt-reich has, even though it's not a conclusion informed by reality.
