I try to be rly visible & vocal when it comes to masking and it wrecks me every time I get responses from ppl who are thankful bc they feel so isolated and alone bc otherwise caring folks won’t do the bare minimum & wear a mask—reposted this old, but relevant read. Plz read & consider masking again.

this is basically how I feel about rainbow capitalism
is it obviously insincere horseshit? yes
it is still much better for society as a whole that companies are expected to performatively signal their support for marginalized people, it helps set the norms
we’re seeing the alternative now

my modest disagreement is that i think it is important to signal virtue even if, privately, you are a piece of shit. performing decency is an important part of maintaining the norm that decency is part of a well ordered society.
you are SUPPOSED to signal virtue. The actual argument, such as it exists, is that people are signaling virtue while not actually being virtuous. But you are supposed to signal virtue and BE VIRTUOUS.
