The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

A bit like 'virtue signalling' the right wing hate virtue of any kind and therefore any expression of compassion, care or decency has to be denounced as hypocrisy - 'It's just a signal, you are really selfish immoral creeps just like us!'

"Decent" is as subjective as "woke". So is "virtue": the "signalling" bit just means that you want to show off your virtue, like ostentatiously giving to charity. -- Max Demian |

I was observing that the right wing try to discredit genuine concerns of decent people with labels like 'woke' and virtue signalling'. They say 'you don't really care about other people, you just pretend, because you think it makes you look good' It's a lie, a vacuous, nasty, knee jerk response. More right wing claptrap. Tim W |
