Thank you, that is a more in-depth and useful definition of virtue signaling than I was working with before. > You were complaining about the motives you imputed to their choice to say that thing. I was complaining about the content, as you can tell from the fact that I immediately said "this is wrong" after making fun of their (presumed) motivation for making the false claim. > WHY are you complaining? A sense of civic obligation to object to misinformation. > Could you help me to understand what sense of "ironic" you were using The irony is that the truth is precisely opposite to the author's claim.
