Lazy Sunday XXXIII: Virtue Signalling

The Portly Politico46 Comments

Hard to believe that in sixty-four days, we’ll have reached one year of daily posts here at The Portly Politico.  In that time, I’ve done my fair share of exposing one of my least favorite activities:  self-righteous virtue-signalling.

So, what better way to signal my virtue in exposing virtue-signalling than by feature virtue-signalling for today’s Lazy Sunday?

Without further ado, here are my selfless, virtuous contributions:

  • “Self-Righteous Virtue-Signalling Lives On” – This post looked an egregious National Review piece by Nicholas Frankovich in the wake of the Covington Catholic situation.  That seems like a distant memory now, but it was one of my battles in the never-ending culture wars.  The issue was that Frankovich, in his zeal to show to a Left that hates him that conservatives can gang up on themselves, threw innocent children under the bus.  Disgusting.
  • “The Leftist Pantheon, Part I: Environmentalism” – This piece looked at Scandinavian eco-troll Greta Thunberg’s environmental apocalyptism.  Thunberg is the victim of environmental education indoctrination, in which everything we do is somehow destructive to Mother Gaia—one of the Left’s many neo-pagan gods and goddesses.
  • “Tom Steyer’s Belt” – I love to rant about television commercials.  Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer has a series of them he runs on Hulu, in which he’s wearing a ridiculous belt that makes him look like the old hippie he is.  This dumpy, stoop-shouldered elite tries to jazz up his look with some multiculturalism by wearing a Kenyan belt—sartorial signalling at its worst.
  • “The Dirty Pierre” – Mitt Romney is the Establishment Republican King of Virtue-Signalling now that John McCain, the loathsome Arizona Senator and necromancer, is dead.  His “Pierre Delecto” Twitter account, which Romney used to defend himself against online detractors, rather than being a man and doing it as himself, is a despicable, cowardly example of a man who wants the Left to love him.  They never will, Mitt!

That’s it for this week!  It’s a muggy Sunday in South Carolina—typical Halloween weather for us.  D’oh!

Happy Sunday!

  1. Good choices all, especially Scoldilocks. I just can’t decide whether she’s parroting her parents or got so completely loony on her own, although they look about as bad. Only problem is that it’s remarkably profitable, what some $600 Million so far this year. Nice work if your stomach can tolerate it!

    • Yeah, I go back and forth on Thunberg—is she the victim of an insane ideology, indoctrinated into it by an unhinged educational establishment; or did she knowingly and willingly embrace it? I suppose the two aren’t mutually exclusive. It does seem like there is some mental health issue there, too. Regardless, it’s quite sad and creepy.

      • Yes, it is. I wouldn’t wish the life she’ll have on anyone, even with money, it’s going to be a sad one at best, after the left is done using her.

        Yeah, I finally embraced the power of ‘and’ with her.
