Thanks to a well timed BM, I did indeed read your link this time.
Virtue signaling is a public expression of faith. Its a parareligious dogmatic act of self flaggelation in adherence to the principles of the progressive church. It’s an evangelizing of the masses to bring them in line with the teachings of Woke (perversely mirroring the Gospels).
I disagree with you Mega. I know this thread specifically references Social Justice Virtue Signalling, but conservatives do virtue signalling too. Usually like the well-trod “thoughts and prayers”, or in the Northam dust-up recently, talking about his position on abortion.
Virtue signalling is more than just adherence to the *progressive* church, it’s pandering to the extremists at the expense of nuance.
