Three terms I’m sick and tired of hearing, as they are nothing more than veiled racist/sexist/intolerant attempts to shut down healthy ethical/humanistic discourse: 1. Virtue signaling. 2. Identity politics. 3. Social justice warrior.

They hate these terms because of how effective they are. "Virtue signaling" is a brilliant observation about the deeper social signaling behind their actions and "SJW" is offensive because it mocks the idea of social justice being a self-evident good.

I was raised Catholic, so I’ve got to ask two questions 1: How is accusing somebody of virtue signaling not itself an act of virtue signaling 2: what’s an argument for “Social Justice is bad”?
