What is "Virtue Signalling"
I found this article interesting but at the same time amusing. It's amazing how we must have a phrase for everything these days.
Here is another case where we are faced with yet another: "Social" phrase.
A mentor once stated: Most peoples facts are just opinions and not facts at all. So if you are stating Observable, repeatable, duplicatable "Facts" in a statement...your really Not signalling your Virtue now are you...but it will be probably taken that way. Just as stating you think or believe something isn't really signalling anything either, just where your at in this complex world right now.
But that's not what the left, the socially liberal or progressive "rules for radicals" are doing. Most of know this and if we don't, we might research it so that we can understand it. (is that "Virtue Signalling"?...laughing
"It’s noticeable how often virtue signalling consists of saying you hate things. It is camouflage. The emphasis on hate distracts from the fact you are really saying how good you are. If you were frank and said, ‘I care about the environment more than most people do’ or ‘I care about the poor more than others’, your vanity and self-aggrandizement would be obvious. . . . Anger and outrage disguise your boastfulness.
It's also intellectually lazy and usually with no facts to back it up."
Feel free to share your most recent experience of "Virtue Signalling". Are we ourselves guilty of intellectual laziness?
I also "Hate" the word Hate...and YES, I would punch it out if it were something physical...after all, that is what is required to be considered "Hate"...am I Virtue Signalling...laughing hysterically...
