[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are literally just trying to be nice and acknowledge that you - their friend - are celebrating a holiday that's commonly known to be important to your religion. I think you are overthinking this.[/quote]

I think the issue is that sometimes you can tell that the person is not actually trying to be nice or to do anything for anyone else, but rather trying to advertise themselves to be a certain kind of person.

It's like those "Hate has no home here" in multiple language yard signs. You know what it takes for someone to put one of those yard signs out? Nothing. I know plenty of people with those signs who are mean spirited, gossipy, exclusionary, etc. It's the same with the social media posts. It's disingenuous and I don't view it as having much of anything to do with me.

If you want to help people, volunteer or donate money or just do good works in your every day life during actual interactions with individuals. But advertising "I'm a good person! Look at me, I have the correct politics, please like me!" doesn't really help anyone.[/quote]
