[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the end of the day, it is all marketing and signaling. Parents from the schools that have these "identities" are always talking about how special they are. I invite OP to come to NW DC or Bethesda and see that it is all the same![/quote] I think it’s all signaling, but not all signaling is the same. When the signal is clearer, parents are more natural with how they attach themselves to the group identity. When it’s less defined, you tend to see a bit more overcompensation and grasping for the identy, which is probably why it reads as less natural from the outside.[/quote] Be that as it may, it is still pathetic all around.[/quote] You know you wake up everyday and get dressed and in doing so, you signal something about yourself to the world. You too participate in signaling your perceived identity. Are you also pathetic because of your signaling?[/quote]
