Virtue signaling is a hell of a drug.

I tried to explain to someone online that the word black has many meanings, not every use of black is about people. Oh man, in the end I was "taught" that just by not accepting his ideas I was a racist person.

My experience with this type of person is very bad. They are ignorant people, defending points without understanding the points. They are very aggressive and work in packs.

Today I try not to work or talk to this type of person/company.




You mean to tell me that all this time black people were the reason the black plague, black mambas, and blacktop exist?

When I first met the D&D alignment chart, it was enlightening. It can explain a situation like this so easily - namely, that the person you met is a lawful evil type. Like a concern troll on the internet, bad intentions are hidden behind a legal, orderly facade.

I don't think these types should discredit the movement. I do wish they wouldn't rile up folk so much though. Change is hard as it is, it's very unhelpful for the cause that they behave in such a bad way.

All the hallmarks of a cult. Commit heresy and get excommunicated.
