They have become so desperate that my neighbor stopped going to Subway for her routine "Saturday sandwich" because Subway has not suspended doing business in Russia!
That's how badly she wants to be part of something bigger than herself.
I said to her, "That's stupid."
It got me wondering about the concept of virtue-signaling. I think people do it (often without realizing it) because they want to identify with something that is perceived as good. First, why don't they realize they are doing it (and for those who are doing it consciously, they need serious help)? Second, what is it that they are missing or yearning for that results in the need to attach oneself to the positive flavor of the day and then proclaim it in various ways? (Yes, most have abandoned God, and that choice has led to the current state of affairs)
These questions say a lot about the hollowness of our culture and how easily manipulated people can be when they are living in such a hollowed-out culture.
Deep down, people generally want to belong to something bigger than them. Not everyone. But most. What is worthy of belonging to? And, how can a person overcome the divisiveness that social media, MSM and the education system have fostered, such that they satisfy that need for belonging?
The Great Awakening will result in something worthy of belonging to, and maybe then will those who are needy and thus have a higher propensity to virtue-signal start to see things realistically again.
And my neighbor will get to go to Subway again.
Before social media we didn't have this nonsense. People talked to the same neighbors and coworkers every day and would have been laughed at.
The internet is what unites the digital meme warriors. It's a double edged sword for the cabal. Great tool to program minds, but also can be used to unite free thinkers.
We are lucky to still be alive and in this fight. Divine protection.
You're right in principle. People with nothing better to do will try to milk any event to steal a little fleeting fame. These are mostly people who have achieved very little in their own lives so they snatch a little fame from wherever they can find it.
I see the people you're talking about and know that they're just sad people with no achievements of their own. Put a Ukrainian flad on your Twatter account and SHAZAM! you've really put it to Putin, NOW he'll be sorry!

Interesting, so mass formation psychosis is more powerful than your neighbor's need for a sandwich routine.
I always ask normies: "Why does anyone believe the news after they have been caught so many times tricking us into war?"
If they ask I tell them: Incubator babies - Kuwait, WMD's - Iraq, and chemical attacks - Syria. 2 out of 3 succeeded in getting us to send our sons and daughters to die for the bankers.
If they still balk remind them of Gulf of Tonkin - Vietnam, Lusitania - ww1, and Pearl Harbor - ww2... then tell them, come on -- we need people to wake up before it's too late. Do you want hell on earth?
Ask her if she knows what the flag of Libya looks like ?
Or Yemen ?
Or Donbass ?
If not, why not ?
I've found that the people most in need of a group or cause to identify with are insecure, with fractured family backgrounds, who have problems the cannot cope with and no faith. By engaging in externalised causes they feel they are doing something important and worthwhile. It also gives them an identity and a sense of belonging.
You cannot get any bigger than God to belong to.
Old Town, Pasadena CA today. The attention the virtue-tards put into carefully securing their masks to wait in line OUTSIDE on a 70 plus degree day to buy overpriced coffee- Horrifying. The ones inside MASKED between sips- in mid March 2 YEARS LATER. The only thing I saw besides the masking was looking intently at a phone. Super SCARY.
