A lot of people for the haters to hate. But not too many, obviously.

They are all public corporations and the stock of each is currently owned by many people, with much of that ownership in the hands of the very wealthy, many of whom are doing specific things which are actively killing millions of people. Arguing one brand vs another doesn’t mean much.

Tara, commenting is not the same as lecturing, and criticism is not the same as denying permission. As to not being acquainted, well, comments from strangers is what posting here invites. Does that help?

Um, if you don’t want people to comment on your posts, don’t post.

Geez, what do you think of when you see a VW bug?

Don’t buy a Ford or a Volkswagen, then.

My point.

Good point. However, if that post wasn’t an invitation to virtue-signaling, you wouldn’t be seeing so many reply posts from people who spend their time debating brand preferences and/or throwing middle-school insults, two pastimes that are on the same level. Why engage in either?

Looks like that goes both ways.

Yeah, I admit it, I live here.

Here’s another Berkeley self-styled “progressive” virtue-signaling rather than engaging in serious political fightback. What brand of car people drive or what dish soap they use is not, believe it or not, very relevant to the battle at hand.

This is key to white American political culture. Solidarity among whites is based on common whiteness, and whiteness is a lie. White Americans hasten to commit wholeheartedly to untruths generally. Displaying capacity to honestly and sincerely believe lies confers status and builds in-group trust.

Generally, USAians do not require something to be true to believe it with utmost sincerity.

The reason white liberals preach tolerance of MAGA whites, and cover for them, is so they can virtue-signal while enjoying the benefits of having their white privilege enforced by MAGA racist terror. If you query them you will find they understand this explicitly.

"All right, class, who knows what Watson and Crick discovered?"
"Rosalind Franklin's notes."
"That's correct."

Is there anyone who is registered Republican, or has voted Republican, or who tolerates Republicans in their personal life who honestly objects to deliberately starving children? GOP politicians are only manifesting the personal values and beliefs of all the people with flag decals on their cars.

He’s only giving the (white) people what they want.
