Those of you who know me in the flesh know that, in person, I'm pretty even tempered. Temperament doesn't always transfer properly in text. If I'm happy, usually what you'll get out of me is a small grin. If I'm pissed off, I generally get quiet.
The thing is, there seems to be a growing attitude that showing how emotional you are at some injustice in the world is a virtue. Well, it's basically the definition of virtue signalling.
It's this idea that the people who didn't smash windows in frustration over Trump getting elected, or a cop doing the wrong thing don't care as much as the people who did.
Well, no, it's called being an adult. Maybe you've heard of the concept.
Part of adulthood is transitioning from that stage in infancy when everything that happens is either the best thing or the worst thing ever, into a person who manages to experience what his or her emotions are telling him or her, let that move to the prefrontal-cortex, examine what's going on, and not react like a screaming child.
Not displaying that you care isn't the same thing as not caring.
Antifa isn't populated with a bunch of people who hate Nazis more than me because they express their hatred with violence and property destruction; they're populated by screaming children who haven't discovered how to process their emotions.
