          It’s not.

          The assholes want to be praised for their reasonable nonpolitical “ironic” gestures against those (ableist slurs here) that made the mistake of caring too much. grill-broke

          Caring that much about the ideal of not caring is pretty common among assholes.

            Pretty sure unless they are hyper online weirdos they are completely unaware of how angry you are at them. They are like having business dinners and eating steaks and burgers and shit and have kids probably. They probably watch sports.

              You seem particularly worked up about some specific internet people in this thread, right now. If I am not mistaken you are significantly emotionally invested in this one issue at the moment and you do seem angry about it for unclear defensive reasons.

              Besides, where does rolling coal work into your “le steak and le whiskey taste good stop talking about it STOP TALKING ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW” thesis?

                  I fucking love steak. Not virtue signaling.

                  You’re signaling your virtue of not caring, even now, and are apparently signaling your virtue of not caring about others “fucking loving steak” over and over again in this thread. You want other people here to stop caring because they’re caring more than you’re permitting them to care.

                    Nope. Wrong. I care. I also think steak tastes good. Those are not mutually exclusive positions actually.

                    It sounds more like you are trying to convince yourself that steak does not taste good and anyone who says it does must be lying so that you don’t get tempted by it. Whatever you need to do for yourself is fine, but to publicly say you think such obviously false things just makes your arguments (which i agree with, i used to be vegan for years) look worse.

                    But anyway, not really worth continuing this conversation if you can’t see how it looks like you are just trying to convince yourself that beef tastes bad by saying that there is no way anyone actually thinks it tastes good and that they are just eating it to virtue signal anti-wokeness. People ate meat before wokeness was a thing, people around the world east it because they like it and it tastes good to most people. Start there.

                Rolling coal is being an asshole on purpose, and i would bet the same percentage of idiots do that as think they are owning the libs by eating steak every day. Less than 1%. The stat is about the 12% who eat most of the beef, most of those people are not trying to do anything performative or political.

                The internet is skewing your understanding of the prevalence of these things, and it’s embarrassing to see people on here create straw men arguments about all the beef eating being performative, thinking they’re making a great dunk when they’re just totally wrong.

                  Exactly the point I was getting at.

                  Less than 1%

                  citations-needed

                  The internet is skewing your understanding

                  And you’re the enlightened detached very offline authority of who is too online and who is not, and you apparently draw that boundary with “le steak is le delicious STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW” rage posting.

        don’t care about anyone’s criticism of their lack of care for the planet etc

        The assholes care that much about the ideal of not caring that they spend money and do performative gestures to show how much they don’t care and want to make a statement that no one should care.
