Yep you are absolutely right. People who spend money on things that doesn’t work but enables them to virtue signal is exactly what virtue signalling is. I gave you a real solution to the problem you can actually do (invite a homeless into your home/backyard) but you obviously don’t want to do it. Even though it would actually help a homeless person. Why not? Too smelly for you? Surely giving them access to a shower can fix that?

You know you don't have to personally completely solve a societal issue in order for your small individual contribution to the solution of that societal issue be worthwhile, right? Geez, this reminds me of how I used to think when I was a literal child. Just completely ignorant of the concept of universalization and collective action.
