Maybe it doesn't require a lot of context, but it does need some. I don't know what the relevance is to any of the text of your comment.If there's subtext to your comment, then that would be necessary for the example to need no to not much context.I don't see clever writing. I see nothing sumptuous in the art. I know of no other work in any medium recognizable in this example, I don't know anywhere that the dialogue, without context, passes as humor, and would never be caught in a place where it does, obviously the philosophy isn't relevant in a sample of the comic, but I am truly

Virtue signalling meant insincerity in a show for public approval.Now it's used insincerely to invalidate or shame honest effort, by people looking to seem true or pure in their devotion to freedom, of thought and speech, unable to accept that kindness and empathy exist, or that their motives aren't predominant in an opposing party. (It's hard to separate one issue from them all with narcissists and the trumptrolling nationals.)Look for my rants and extolling of virtues, signalling anyone who reads of a place where people will expose exactly which side of the war they're on! For beginners (&frauds), the commenters commenting on appearance are not interested in ideas.Comments only disparaging or mocking are not of those interested in or having ideas.That's pretty much their thing.This comment has been written to signal that I am fighting for truth, and if you use any of the mentioned tactics, you are the scrapings of the heels of the elites, and I am most certainly better than you.

Does it even matter if I write with consistency in tone, language usage, seriousness, or manner of speech (casual or educational, 8th grade advanced)?You will read whatever random ramble-babble you are still reading right now.This is not the place for what I have to say to you. Please turn to your Facebook apps; I'm going off topic.But I can use more swears here.I am drilling my way in your head, and you can't look away.Now Facebook before anyone on Wonkette.com notices anything funnyMove along now, and if anyone says anything to me about this, I'll know you were here reading inane rantings against you all night, and if you think I mean you, isn't that a little paranoid?donotreplyEveryone will know you're crazy.

Oh, look, DHS has been sending hundreds of asylum-seekers to "live" an office building in downtown Brooklyn

The thing is, stunts like this will only endear him to his people even more.

“Triggering the Libs” is all they have any more.

These are the same people that say peaceably protesting in front of a judge’s home is a crime against humanity

The Republican mindset: “You’re as evil as we are! Admit it!”

I mean, we’ve already seen them let untold numbers of their constituents die of covid (or because of Texas’ shitty power grid) to score political points

It is cruel because there's nowhere on that island where they could possibly afford to live, and no jobs for them. They dangle offers of apartments and jobs in front of these people who have nothing, and then send them to a resort island in off-season?

A resort island that wasn't expecting them and had made no preparations for them, they were also lied to.

What's really cruel is how DeSantis et el clearly did not treat these immigrants as human, or treat any of the Democrats with any sort of respect either. Of course, we'd have to assume (incorrectly) that the FarQ are capable of empathy to begin with.

Yes they are CLEARLY just virtue signaling because you said so. The effort they put in to accommodate these immigrants that they were not prepared for CLEARLY was merely virtue signally on their part.

Compared to the FarQ who are happy to shoot immigrants on sight, I don't think there's much comparison in between the 2. I guess you could say the FarQ are being more honest about thirst for immigrant blood and callous cruelty by doing so as compared to the CLEARLY simply virtue signaling democrats, in fact, I'd strongly suggest you call you local Republican senator and tell him to run his reelection campaign on that.

And they were still accommodated in the end. Beats getting shot at by subhuman FarQ "oathkeepers" or something.

This guy's a FarQ troll as can be seen from his other comments above. But he also seems to be a keeper. He MIGHT just start admitting to some stupidity or to his party's abject cruelty if he sticks around long enough.

You haven't provided any evidence these groups aren't taking action too.

Those bleeding heart wealthy liberals showed more compassion to the immigrants that a unholy weasel like DeSantis ever could.
