View submission: Philosophical takes on cancel culture
So seeking ones own purity via acknowledgement from the internet.
I would look at Nietzsche’s Daybreak Book two, he talks a lot about how people will lower/weaken themselves in order to be seen as more moral. Then in Genealogy of Morality, Second Essay, he develops this notion from Daybreak, Book two into the ascetic ideal/ascetic priest focused around the sense of guilt and what he calls bad conscience. Those are really relevant to people’s habits of virtue signaling. Hope that helps.
