Virtue signaling is a word angry Proud Boy wannabes use to shame anyone who mentions Black Lives Matter.
"Black lives matter!"
"You're virtue signaling so people think you're a good person."
"No, Black lives really do matter. You just want me to stop talking about this. I won't, and if want to talk about how good a person I am on social media, I'll do that, too."

Virtue signalling is when somebody superficiality advertises their support for a cause and goes out of their way to publicly condemn others in order to seek validation. Drawing attention to their self righteousness to appear morally superior.
Karen: “You’re a jerk because you wear Nike, don’t you know they exploit people overseas”.
Andre: “You’re Chanel bag was made overseas too, virtue signalling doesn’t make you any better than anybody else!”.

One of the many nauseating buzzwords used by conservatives as an alternative to constructing a coherent argument.
Don’t worry, it doesn’t mean anything - and actually doubles as a good way to spot cretins in the wild.
“This guy just said virtue signalling unironically, let’s get away from this asshat”

A phenomena where someone campaigns for or otherwise shows their support for an often popular position without actually doing anything meaningful to further the cause that they claim to champion. This is one of the main signs of late democracy and otherwise shows the prevalence of cult figures in a society: political or otherwise.
Also takes form with "thoughts and prayers", and other meaningless statements.
-Damn, all of these people are virtue signalling about the Freedom Convoy.
-The easiest way to become respected on twitter is to virtue signal in support of trans rights.

A term used by fascists who believe they're of a higher moral standing when someone makes a factual statement.
Jimbo: He should have just complied.
Bob: So you believe govt employees should be able to tell you what to do and punish you if you dont comply?
Jimbo: Not a chance in hell. I will not comply to the govt. I'll be damned if the govt tells me what to do.
Bob: You do know law enforcement is the govt. Buddy, that's virtue signaling.

Someone who pushed for mandatory vaccines and then sends “thoughts and prayers” to dead and/or dying athletes who fell into cardiac arrest from the vaccine itself
The NFL demands players be vaccinated ahead of 2021 season. The virtue signal vaxtards all applaud and cheer for the NFL is doing the “right” thing.
Vaxtard: “ I pray hope to god Damar Hamlin will be ok”

A person, usually a white woman, who presents themselves as ultra liberal on social media, self-identifies as a vegan, leftist, feminist (loves labels), usually has lots of tattoos as it is part of their curated woke / progressive / punk-rock identity (costume). These people are very active on IG and are constantly posting and reposting virtue signals to compensate for not knowing who they are or what they stand for, living for affirmations from like-minded friends.
These people are so thirsty for that dopamine rush of a ‘view’ or ‘like’ that they rarely check sources and vet what they’re actually posting, and often repost things that aren’t factual, or in-line with progressive ideology. But do not dare call them out on it. These people will challenge authorities, governments, the police, via Instagram, but if you challenge THEM to be better, they will get flustered, break down, name call, and un-follow you. Mind you, these people are only "activists" online. They almost never participate in real life direct action.
These people tend to pursue careers as social workers or therapists, and are very public about it — also part of their woke ensemble to "do good in the world (because I'm a good person and I need you to know that)". The truth is that they are insecure and immature people who are grasping for identity. They are usually privileged in that they are white and receive financial support from their parents, well past their 20's and 30's.
That Virtue Signal Sarah (VSS) re-posts more BLM stuff than all my Black friends combined! We get it — you want us to think you're not racist. Ughh... just stop.
