>JD Vance, whose wife is Indian and whose children are half-Indian, wants Marko Elez back in his job. And Elon has now promised to bring him back.
>What’s the point of vice signaling? Vance isn’t trying to explicitly say “I am a bad person”. Not really. What he’s trying to signal is loyalty to the team. He will degrade himself for the team. He will abandon moral virtue for the team. He’ll throw his family under the bus. He will support self-evidently evil, stupid things all to show loyalty to the tribe.
>What gets you real credit is supporting the movement when it’s hard. When members of your group have done something heinous and you stand by them anyways. When you vocally support the really evil stuff, you get real credit for supporting the team no matter what.
>Vice signaling is especially prominent in the age of Trump, because Trump himself is devoid of morality and only cares that his underlings show strict loyalty to him personally.
