Deal breakers...what are yours?

Virtue signalling
Complete lack of self awareness
Authoritarianism

I had to look up virtue signaling 😂 Love it! Yup, don’t humblebrag!

Don’t be a dick, smug or enjoy too much Schadenfreude.

Oh yeah and brush your fecking teeth.

I looked up virtue signaling on Wiki, which strangely had no concrete examples. It did have extensive quotes from a couple of conservatives, so I sense the concept is used as a cudgel against liberals

It is used by anyone who feels the need to lift themselves up in a group that values or demands conformity of thought. That is not a left or right trait.

OK, sounds like something that’s a billion years old then. What would be an example of a virtual signaling statement?
 
Yes, it has been going on for ever, difference is now social media has made it an art form.

I see it as less statements and more actions. For example, (trying to keep this generic because this is not the place for politics) an event happens and someone is wronged and it becomes a media talking point. People that pile on, often to an absurd level to show how much they are against whatever the grievance is. To the point where you know it's less about supporting the wronged and more about improving their standing in the mob that begins to form.
 
ohhh baby you are going down the wrong path for the Playground. This is a GB offramp right now. :D:D

So basically, piling on, given a label for these meme times
 
People who can’t respect and enjoy silence, unnecessary rudeness, bigotry, not being able to laugh at yourself.
 
Inability to communicate. Lack of interest in knowing anything about me. Loves to talk about themselves. All deal breakers :)
 
Guys who only have participation trophies who never actually won any youth sports championships. ;)
 
People who paint everyone with the same brush....all liberals are whiners or all republicans are bad.
