nihil admirarivirtue 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.
It's really funny that despite being the side of "over educated over sensitive millenials" or whatever the Left is supposed to be these days, we fall really easily for incredibly basic rhetorical tricks like "if the other side uses a word or phrase, it is immediately wrong and bad even if it describes a real problem." if steve bannon started saying "i am a communist" at least 10% of leftists would start saying "thats a dogwhistle. saying youre communist is a racist dogwhistle"

point taken, and you're not wrong or anything, but i'm just laughing because i remember the time steve bannon called himself a "leninist."
