@ignova That's also about people just rule following rather than taking the time and space to understand why something is wrong/harmful/hurtful. They are more interested in how they look to other people, their image, than having personal integrity, their substance (words and actions aligning as much as possible). They are performing being a good person without going through any change or growth rather than doing the work to widen their understanding of themselves, others and the world. It's an authoritarian model of the world that they're working from at the outset, which is why it quickly becomes oppressive (to both them and others). @kissane
@fifilamoura @kissane i agree. i also think this version of 'activism' appeals to certain people who don't have a strong sense of their own identity. it offers convenient identity badges that tell you who you are, so you can bypass the process of having to use your own insight to figure that out. then it provides a list of rules, and all you have to do to be a Good Person is follow the list, rather than thinking critically about what is the moral thing to do, or developing your own opinions.
