caitlin speaks of hysteria and gaza;

Opposing the Gaza holocaust doesn’t make you a good person. Failing to oppose the Gaza holocaust makes you a bad person.

It’s not something you do so you can feel good about yourself, it’s something you do so you can live with yourself. Because the alternative is unacceptable to anyone with even the most elementary building blocks of a conscience.

I sometimes see people describing opposition to Israel’s actions in Gaza as “virtue signaling”, but there is nothing virtuous about opposing Israel’s actions in Gaza. “Virtue” is defined as “behavior which demonstrates high moral standards.” That’s not what this is. Opposing an active genocide is just the bare minimum requirement for not being a shitty human being. It’s no more “virtuous” than pulling a drowning toddler out of your pool; it’s just what one does when one is not a complete psychopath.

Those who call it “virtue signaling”, or accuse anti-genocide demonstrators of participating in some kind of fashionable social media trend, are confessing something very revealing about who they are as individuals. They are admitting that they cannot imagine any reason why anyone might take a forceful stand against an ongoing genocide unless it brought them social clout. They are admitting that they are bad people...........more........
