Also, feel like specifying how its collaboration has been "eager" or how it in any relevant way is related to the plight of migrants, instead of just tossing out some accusatory virtue signalling?
- LastTrain 2y agoEveryone can safely ignore all accusations of “virtue signaling” because it is 1) a manipulative play designed to make you feel like a schmuck for having principles and 2) it is hypocritical in that is does exactly what it suggests you are doing.
- southernplaces7 2y agoNo, virtue signalling is a very real thing that's usually easy to see and define. Having principles isn't quite the same as smugly but cheaply signalling some moral stance. I have no idea what you mean with your second statement. Pointing out a case of virtue signalling isn't itself virtue signalling.
- LastTrain 2y agoInterjecting in a conversation to say someone is virtue signaling and offering up little else is about as smug and cheap as it gets.
