How can someone express moral values without attracting attention? Morals are such a contentious & touchy issue. From what I can tell virtue signalling incident is one part the person expressing the statement being unopen to criticism & also one part aggressive criticisers.

From what I see, it's a term that's being used politically to suppress opposition to policy. It's really only popped up in the last 2-3 years. At the same time, conservatives are re-branding themselves as 'classic liberals' in order to seem to have a fluffy side.

Essentially, as the political centre loses ground, there seem to be a number of narrative-led goings-on designed to nullify the political left. Another obvious one is MARXIST POSTMODERNIST SJW!! (Said angrily.) They differ a bit depending on geography.
