These two photos seem to show George Floyd had time to shave his head while being arrested. https://xephula.com/content/uploads/photos/2020/06/xephula_5a77134e44205ff8ed0d935daed81a18.jpg?fbclid=IwAR0TgTQyZBY41Ld3z5MsJIVNlY39YfDx7_XLma25UupSMszqTvk2fZJSCic

the ironic part which I think is what you are going for is they will call out the fake stuff but readily convict without having all the facts, they believe the social media they like but not what they don't, they can't see how easily social and other media can be manipulated and suck people in making them believe. they don't get it, they can't see the bigger picture, expand their minds, they only see what's in their little bubbles they live in.

Ouch! Oro, the #1 debater! How are you going to respond to this solid, well-thought-out rebuttal!?!?!?

Lol, it even has the black and brown addition. Love to see it!
In informal political discussions – that is to say, down the pub, across the internet and on talk shows – the phrase serves two functions: to make your opponent look shallow, while at the same time (the irony) signalling your initiation into a more sophisticated level of discourse.
That’s not to say that there’s nothing in Bartholomew’s idea. Sometimes people do take positions to curry favour, or to burnish their reputations. But that’s hardly new. “You’re only saying that to make yourself look good” sums it up pretty well, it’s less pretentious, and still leaves 90 characters for the rest of your tweet.
There’s another danger in the the way the phrase is being deployed (and it’s being deployed a lot). Anyone who makes an argument that casts them in a good light can be accused of “virtue-signalling”. Anyone. That’s an awful lot of babies at risk of being thrown out with the bathwater.
In many cases, the thinking goes like this (with the left a frequent target):
- Bill is saying something right-on
- Virtue-signalling is when you say something right-on just to sound good
- Therefore Bill is virtue-signalling
But 3. is not justified by 1. and 2. You can argue for something that happens to make you look virtuous because you genuinely think it is the best solution. That’s the case, for example, with most religious beliefs. Do we really think the pope is just virtue-signalling?
What started off as a clever way to win arguments has become a lazy put down. It’s too often used to cast aspersions on opponents as an alternative to rebutting their arguments. In fact, it’s becoming indistinguishable from the thing it was designed to call out: smug posturing from a position of self-appointed authority.
I’m not saying we should eradicate “virtue-signalling”. But maybe it’s time to get vaccinated.

heard they are genocyding it up in Rwanda or someplace like that, looks like a U.K. news outlet covered it a little but that's about it, because American Black Lives Matter, unless you live in an inner city, or are part of a gang, drug dealer, abortion clinic etc
we could get into how the welfare state has increased obesity, high blood pressure which makes people more susceptible to think like covid, diabetes, heart disease etc but hey one bad cop kills one bad man and they go nuts, guess it's ok so long as it's the welfare state and each other that's doing the killing. ignorance is bliss.

Cheap unhealthy food is easy to buy and economical for the food stamp life. Welfare and easy free access to abortion sure seems like population control. Now add in cheap illegal labor to keep unemployment high and wages low and the lemmings will never notice.

Are you fat shaming? Every thing is acceptable and normal to the leftist.
