Virtue Signaling

[Roger Duke]

What is your opinion of virtue signaling?
Have you noticed it being practiced more than ever?
Are virtue signalers facing increasing criticism?
Do liberals or conservatives practice it more?
Is it a fad that will fade away?
Is it something that has always been around and always will be?

My virtue-signalling is largely confined to deplorable deeds, that or being unimaginably ignorant. For example, many on Truth Social are calling for lib-progs to be processed into a giant FEMA camps that may include forced sterilization, slave labor and other, even more despicable crimes, yet I join the fray wholeheartedly, even posted a truth about Nancy hiring DePape to do-in her husband which was quite a success and led to an enormous increase in popularity on my part, but this is not Truth Social, sadly.

MAGA.

Virtue signaling is a new phrase for a very old problem, called 'holier than thou, phonies.'
Remember, only hypocrites do no wrong.

"Virtue signalling" is what cynical and selfish people call anything which professes to be based on altruism.

Sure, talk is cheap, but give me the choice between someone who promotes giving to charity but doesn't, and someone who promotes violent insurrection but doesn't do it, and I will always prefer the one whose stated intention is good, to the one whose stated intention is bad.

Or in short, virtue signalling is better than malice signalling.

What is your opinion of virtue signaling?

Inevitable.

Have you noticed it being practiced more than ever?

No . . . same as always.

Are virtue signalers facing increasing criticism?

Perhaps. Does it matter? Why?

Do liberals or conservatives practice it more?

It differs slightly from right to left, but it seems like both poles in equal measure.

Is it a fad that will fade away?

No

Is it something that has always been around and always will be?

Of course.

"Virtue Signaling" is a stupid phrase that people use to try to belittle someone who shows any modicum of sympathy for...well...anyone else who may feel slighted. It generally used by people who feel they're better than the person they're levying it against though most of the time the opposite is true. It's the dumbest trendy phrase of the last 5 years and I would love to see it burn in hell.

It’s way better than the hatefulness signaling and racist signaling that right-winger Republicans constantly do to one another.

You just don't like the term because it is exhibit A in proving how stupid wokeism is.

If what you want is “stupid”, look no further than a Trump supporter. How smart is it for persons to support a known liar and grifter?

People who spew racism also tend to spew a lot of remarks about "virtue signalling", which might explain a thing or two about the content of this thread...
