There are lines though and it can get blurry. As an example, my family accuses me of virtue signaling because I refuse to engage in their racism. That I refuse to judge people by the color of their skin or their religion, I am called every name in the book.
Now, this is clearly not my problem, and I am not virtue signaling, but it’s a semi-loaded term these days, used CONSTANTLY by reactionaries.
Maybe the article is a bit, I’ll give you that. However, I can’t condemn her for her lines, no skin off my nose. I’m not upset by virtue signalling, if anything it’s good information on how to treat and interact with those people. The virtues my family signals for example, have been quite valuable to how I interact with them (as little as possible).
