It's not that virtue-signaling is bad. No. Virtue-signaling is the foundation of human morality. It's the paper-thin, hypocritical virtue-signaling that's bad.https://twitter.com/tomgara/status/1143157909850861568 …

In all seriousness (no Arby's jokes), do you believe we still need virtue signaling? (Even in its more adaptive variants). I find myself divided on these kinds of evolutionary carryovers.

Yes, I think it's still necessary and good on balance. I just prefer the
@Effect_Altruism way of doing virtue-signaling to the usual nonsense. - 1 more reply

It's the talk-the-talk but never walk-the-walk type of virtue signaling that's the problem. When it's done for self-aggrandizement.

A lot of modern virtue signaling is actually vice signaling: anti-white , anti-male , anti-Christian , anti-western.

Seems to me the usual complaint being made when a behaviour is disparagingly called "virtue signalling" is that the behaviour is purported to signal virtue but is actually just as easy to do without really being virtuous - that is, it's a bad signal. Am I wrong?
