What virtue am I signaling, tolerance?

Tolerance alone isn’t a virtue. People tolerate hot spice in wing challenges for the sake of gluttony/pride and a free tee shirt commemorating their mediocrity.

Okay, are we talking about the heavily virtues? How specific are we talking in terms of virtue specificity?

Pragmatism. Measurable outputs and inputs over time. So like gluttony is an easy one because it’s a vice both in religion/s and pragmatism. “Don’t take more than you need” tested over time whether it’s hoarding/eating food or drugs etc, we can measure the output that comes for repeating the behavior.

Tolerance would be more akin to patience maybe? If we were using religious virtues? But tolerance is just putting up with something or letting it grow… so letting things that are pragmatically vices grow, obviously, wouldn’t be wise.

I suppose if we were doing religious terms patience would be waiting for something to go away while you tolerate it, but we couldn’t expect it to just disappear by ignoring it, much less calling it a vice or virtue. I don’t know where tolerance popped up as a virtue but it was a strange one to study as far as cultural trends go.

And for clarification on your question (forgive me I’m multi tasking, or trying to) please don’t take that as a personal attack on you specifically, it’s just what this board does, echo chamber for virtue signaling, so doing the whole “their language vs our language” thing, in group out group signal, is generally what I was pointing out with my comment. I’m guilty of it myself so perhaps I should have said “WE say as we virtue signaling on the internet” (because conservatives often do it outside

Sorry for the delay, please know that I’m not ignoring you, I’m just focused on something else at the moment.
