Complaining about virtue signaling is virtue signaling. What is really going on is people who are critical of a belief project their own disbelief and thus find the believers to be insincere. In general the intentions of others are difficult to work with so effective arguments and actions tend to focus on the core material instead. Is vegetarianism a good thing? Is carbon pollution damaging the environment? What people feel about these issues is secondary to core science and possible actions.

- dfcagency 7y agoYou hit the nail on the head; and articulated this very well. It's akin to a cheater who suspects everyone else is cheating, including their partner. Prescient, upvoted!
