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...

After eating people in a terrorized San Diego, the hybrid T-Rex and its baby are shipped back to their island home at great expense when there were other T-Rex's there.
They were not for really real dinosaurs but man-made monsters as one character pointed out in Jurassic Park III.
Oh, but it felt so environmentally good not to simply kill the monsters off.
Those we Can't get along with cause they oppose existence itself.

Yuck! Who's that squished person under my foot?
Who cares? I'm mental and that makes me special.
Hey, little girl~BOO! Ha! Ha! Ha! You shoulda saw how that time a little tyke tore out of there crying and screaming her little head off. Ha! Ha! Ha! Yes, people should be tolerant of my behavior because~well, you see~I have feelings.
By the way, this morning I woke up feeling fine after my bleeding heart bled to death yesterday.
So don't worry about--hey, wait! I think I'm a dinosaur again. Great! I'm back to my sharp aging old mental self again.
Excuse me while I go fetch a bronto burger.

Yeah, strike that due to my bleeding heart blood loss syndrome. .
Harrumph!

Uh, on second thought, do not strike the "I am woman" slip.
That may be offensive a male of any species who thinks she is a woman.
I could get arrested in Kalifornia for that.
Still worried about you...
