"Signaling" is legit science jargon... for "putting on a show that's so expensive, it's not worth doing it if you're dishonest". That is, signaling that you have X is really *good* evidence that you actually *do* have X.

The Alt-Right appropriated it and broke the meaning. Instead of "someone who's virtuous and goes out of their way to demonstrate it", it now means "virtue is BS and anyone who pretends to be virtuous is faking it".

That term has definitely escaped confinement in the right-affiliated spaces and media and infected the broader discourse, but it’s still an awful term, and I’m sad to see Alex use it

Thanks Kevin. I tried to express that sentiment. I felt sad to see that phrase used by a FB exec given its popular association with illiberal online cultures and I wanted to express my disappointment.
