Default Virtue Signaling - How Many Know What This Is?

Many of us have seen numerous examples of this lately. Here's the definition and the important part is the very LAST sentence of the definition.

vir·tue sig·nal·ing(British virtue signalling)

noun

the action or practice of publicly expressing opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue: it's noticeable how often virtue signaling consists of saying you hate things | standing on the sidelines saying how awful the situation is does nothing except massage your ego by virtue signaling.
