    I don’t really believe in virtue signaling. It’s something the rightwing made up

    No. Like so many things, it’s a real thing that right wing people twist into something it isn’t to fit their narrative or to excuse their own vices.

    An example of virtue signaling would be to for example arbitrarily avoid using words that start with an n to showcase how virtuous you are.

    An example of the right wing definition of virtue signaling is just…doing anything virtuous. Like when someone is legitimately doing or saying the right things for the right reasons, right wing troglodytes will call THAT virtue signaling.
