I've literally never seen/heard the phrase "virtue signaling" be used in a context that actually persuaded me to agree with the user of said phrase. It's just a magical shibboleth that is completely unprovable.
- jessaustin 5y agoI find the use of that phrase to be a powerful argument for flipping the bozo bit.

- jessaustin 5y agoBelieve what people tell me? No thank you; I was born at night but not last night. I prefer to observe what people do.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoThat's still "them telling you who they are".
