Unfortunately vice signaling is currently in fashion and also backed by people with actual power.

Unfortunately it’s all just in-group signaling. Whether that is vice or virtue depends on the in-group. Either way it’s self reinforcing and quiesces thought, which is precisely our problem today. Moral courage is what we need, which may involve aspects of signaling, but it’s not quite the same

To be clear I agree with those who said being virtuous is more important and disagree with those who are mad at a post I did not write
