      That's going too far. These are all valid ideas. The fact that some people use them as shibboleths doesn't change that.

          They are also valid ideas for virtue signalling. Prove that is not what you did here.

          It seems strange to me for the null hypothesis to be that a speaker is virtue signaling until they can prove otherwise?

          Jordan gains nothing by virtue signalling while Paul's career will be destroyed if he doesn't. Hence simplest explanation = null hypothesis.

          I think we can always come up with motives for signaling. But for me, assuming that as default seems to violate the principle of charity.

          Many JP fans talk about the intolerant Left yet they are so quick themselves to give the worst motives to people they disagree with.

          Everyone in the valley (Google to Paul) know PC crowd can destroy them. Their defence is virtue signalling. Not worst option but the only 1

          Unfortunately there is a point where the misuse of language becomes the norm, purely by volume and quantity, and the words are redefined.

          Nice dropping a “shibboleth” in there. A term that has evolved a fair bit since its use in the 17th century. “Buzzword” remains the same

          Why in an age of post modern moral relativism, PC & atheism and rampant amorality to question any of these dogmas is considered immoral?

          No. They are invalid ideas when you extrapolate them to their logical conclusionary form.

          Equity is equal outcome in the common way it is used. That's just not reasonable or feasible. Consistency of rules is however is.

          Inclusion also forms the same issue of mashing everyone into one box. Everyone is not the same. To ignore that is to deny reality.

          Diversity is diversity of ethnicities and genders, not diversity of ideas in the marketplace where the good ones stay and the bad ones go.

          Privilege is a concept that is bastardized in its usage. Privilege is about chance and should not be something to be ashamed of.
