    My brain is just now upon seeing this post processing why right-wingers always accuse the left of virtue signaling; as always with conservatives, it’s projection. They virtue signal by wearing crosses while definitely not giving a hoot about the teachings of Jesus.

    They can’t imagine someone sincerely supporting a cause they care about and assume we all only do it for recognition among our peers, because that’s the way they use causes. To signal to the in-group that we are one of them.

        Virtue signaling, political correctness, woke, they’ve used a bunch of terms over the years and I don’t doubt they’ll eventually move on from woke to another term they use to mock anyone with empathy.

          they still use woke, VS used by other than conservative most of the time. woke is primarily used by cons, and cons pretending to be on the other side.
