The people who support this guy and say he was just protecting himself are everywhere. It’s not that they don’t understand the inconsistency, it’s that consistency would be impossible, because they don’t actually believe anything. They do not conceptualize the same way we do. Everything, and I mean everything is a feeling to them. It’s a real shame that they coopted the phrase “virtue signaling”, because that’s what it is. Whenever they speak, they’re not actually trying to communicate anything other than membership in the group. When they post, it could be understood best as analogous to a person jumping into the dance circle at a wedding.

Consistency could never come into play, because their “ideas”, if they could be called that, have no relation to fact, as it were. They can occasionally coincide with fact, but it’s just a random occurrence.

you're collectivizing and grouping just as much as they do
