> the more isolated we will become and the more backward our peers will find us to be

Unfortunately, the same strain of thought that is pushing these measures is quite happy with us being more isolated and worse regarded. They think being isolated is manly virtue; that acting in concert with the international community is feminine weakness. Being liked implies that we give something away; being hated implies that we get what we want.

Hence cries of "globalist cucks!" and so on. Isolation is Strength.

Please don't bring these snarl words into HN discussion. They're shallow dismissals that violate the community comment guidelines.

Nothing of any value was ever communicated with these stupid buzzwords.

These people are calling their ideological opponents cuckolds and yet I'm the one creating sexist divisions?

I could almost agree with you post above this one, but "cuck" has been a meme of the alt right since the run up to the 2016 US election. You are either being disenguous or have not seen enough of the current grass roots politics to be speaking so authoritatively

> Why does an opinion need to be masculine or feminine?

Uh, that was the point of the comment you called "virtue signalling". It was critical of the idea that international cooperation is "feminine weakness".

Who said that international cooperation is feminine weakness other than the guy who wrote it? Having a thought doesn't make it a reality.
