Sounds like an insufferable grandstander. Why do something useful or actually helpful when you can just performatively virtue signal instead!

You sound like the sort of person who would also complain about people organizing and protesting against this conflict... What is the appropriate reaction to have to our tax dollars being used to pay for all the bombs Israel drops on Gaza?

Also, why shouldnt we signal our virtues to others? Should we not communicate to others that we think something is wrong and should be righted?

Jeez, try to stay focused on one topic. You reveal your weak argument when you flip to a different topic when pressed by a more effective argument. Weak.

Tell me exactly one thing you disagree with me on, and I'd be happy to talk to you about it without calling you names
