Reply to comment by Redditis4npcs in More Same-Sex Couples Eligible for Survivor Benefits After VA Policy Change by EssoEssex

>VA is closing a gap in benefits for surviving spouses of LGBTQ+ veterans, righting a wrong that is a legacy of the discriminatory federal ban on same-sex marriages

​

>Feels much more like empty virtue signaling

So enacting real change is what virtue signalling means now? Got it.

​

>all the while veterans will remain criminally under served..

Dont disagree with the rest of your comment though

His comment history makes clearer where he's coming from.

"Do you think the years of anti-white rhetoric and dehumanization of white people in corporate media had something to do with this?"

"They're only women when democrats are trying to rape them."

"Isn't it clear to everyone that black teens are targeting white people? The days of me caring about being called racist for pointing this out are long gone."

"y'all really don't smell anything wrong with the obvious sexulization of children recently? You really don't see how "trans" identity is being used by the powers that be?"

Not to mention more racism, antivax sentiments and vax conspiracy theories, 9-11 conspiracies, anti0Muslim bigotry, and more.

The guy is a walking stereotype.

No wonder he doesn't understand why this news is positive.

No surprise. u/Redditis4npcs pretends they're only mad because the policy is "virtue signalling," because thats a more socially acceptable criticism. But really they just dont like the idea of righting a historical wrong against gay people.
