Signaling Commitment through Protests and Ideologies
The chapter explores how individuals may prioritize the symbolic act of participating in protests over understanding the ideologies they represent. It discusses the concept of signaling loyalty through costly actions and the irony of investing significant effort without deep ideological alignment. The conversation also touches on the use of masks in protests, questioning motivations and the balance between local and global costs of advocacy.
