Performative Virtue, Outrage Culture & the Price of Authenticity | The Reckoning Part 10
Manage episode 506079460 series 3464669
When does morality become theater?
In this episode of The Reckoning, we cut through outrage culture and expose the truth behind performative virtue and moral grandstanding. From viral hot takes to public call-outs, we explore why so much of modern “justice” is really just status anxiety in disguise.
🔥 What you’ll learn:
- Why performative morality thrives in outrage culture
- How to spot the red flags of performative virtue
- The hidden cost of performative activism and online clout
- What real virtue looks like when no one’s watching
If your values have never cost you anything, they’re probably just branding. Real virtue always carries a price. It means risking reputation, comfort, or relationships, not just chasing likes or retweets.
Ask yourself: what’s one value you claim publicly, and when was the last time you paid a cost for it privately? If the answer is silence, this episode is your wake-up call.
