virtue signaling is real, and you should be wary of those within Our Movement who do it. denying that it exists because right wingers have learned the phrase is really stupid and opens us up to being co-opted by psychos like, say, the children of hedge fund managers who live in penthouses and vote/donate to the democratic party and actively stifle progressive activism by having tantrums.
@lunch do you think virtue signalling and woke posturing is the same thing? because i mostly see leftists using the phrase “woke posturing”
@grandpawg woke posturing is the same thing, yes, but saying it in a way that loads it with value ahead of time rather than later on
