Do I gather that the left has successfully tabooed the concept of virtue signaling while I wasn’t looking? Presumably because it was effective in puncturing pretensions. It’s not a right/left thing, though…

I think the idea of virtue signalling got tabooed extremely quickly, and not entirely unjustly given how it was being used.

Don't like what someone says? Accuse them of virtue signalling! It got old really quickly. Saw the term used a lot this way even when the person really was invested (e.g., had put their money where their mouth was, had made other sacrifices).
