Any behavior that the right doesn't like, they immediately slap that label on it. They could call it being thoughtful, being considerate of others, being mindful. But no, it's "virtue signaling."

(14,230 posts)Just as some people resent anyone smarter than them, they also resent anyone more virtuous, especially if it's obvious. The term is an outgrowth of their insecurity and fear of being discovered as being ignorant or mean.
I's also a lot like how racists want to shut down all talk of race or racism. It hits too close to home directly over target.

(32,356 posts)Whenever I go into stores or restaurants, I wear a mask to show solidarity with the employees who have no choice. As soon as I walk out I can take mine off, but they wear theirs all day.
