Replying to @brigidkeely @Nymphomachy
The thing about "virtue signaling" is that in and of itself it's a necessary thing - it is absolutely a necessary part of life to want to know where people stand before trusting them The issue is that if a signal isn't a "costly" signal then it's easy to lie

If your "I'm a good person" badge costs five cents at the store and anyone can buy one and put it on themselves, it's useless

It just feels like a certain kind of liberal gets SO invested in having a means to virtue signal as their first concern before actually doing anything I get so pissed off at all the stupid trends to change your Twitter pfp to show your support for X
