I would think that virtue signaling is good. It sure sounds good.
"Virtue" means " Moral excellence and righteousness; goodness."
"Signaling" means "An indicator, such as a gesture or colored light, that serves as a means of communication."
So, basically if I'm morally excellent and I communicate that to you, that's a bad thing? Why is that? Is it because it makes you feel bad?
Same question about "woke". Like, "not asleep"? How is that bad?
I just feel like these terms are thoughtlessly bandied about. They're never really defined. They actually don't sound bad, but they're used in a pejorative context. It's just really strange.
