Define virtue signal Virtue Signalling verb doing something that the alt-right doesn't like You nailed me buddy ElatedVenusaur posted... I've never heard of any of this junk. Did I miss Commissar class or something? Which part haven't you heard? If you're vaguely aware of politics, you'll notice a split between the progressive and centrist wings recently. Many people believe that the inability of democrats to clearly articulate a progressive platform is what lost them the senate and presidency in 2016. This is still playing out with different races signaling different things; wins at local levels in NY and NH recently have emboldened the Bernie wing while more important congressional and executive races as in Montana elude them What does that have to do with whatever you're taking about? --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:880181581] in Progressiv...

Define virtue signal doing something considered positive mainly for the sake of social/media brownie points, but not genuinely for the virtue of doing a good deed for example, a celebrity comedian giving a "girl power" speech promoting feminism to the media, but really doesn't give a shit about women/other women off camera despite being a lying asshole, the comedian can then garner positive acclaim from advocates of feminism, which can boost turn outs for seeing the comedian's shows and increase media opps if you don't believe the average person ever does this, fine but at least acknowledge that many celebrities, politicians, and other wealthy elite are notorious for it because pretending to be a progressive face can pay... with social media, it becomes a glorified form of being photoed while kissing babies or "saving" a puppy --- le Moo <cite>NonDairyMiltank posted [p:880187066] in Progressiv...
