There’s a backlash against calling out virtue signaling, because to do so has become a political weapon. Morally prescriptive anti-virtue signaling is as self-righteous as the thing itself. That doesn’t stop virtue-signaling being a real and useful concept.https://twitter.com/dayclancy/status/1009506664062603266 …

So the only way to effectively call out virtue-signaling is to constantly ask yourself “so what?” “So what if I think they’re stupid and incompetent?” “So what if I don’t say what’s expected of me here?” “So what if they’re doing that thing I would never do?”

Virtue-signaling disrupts productivity. It’s insidiously counter-effect, counter-rational thought processes, counter-awareness. It’s system 1 not system 2. It matters a lot to me to be productive and effective. Asking “so what…?” keeps me on track sometimes.
