Re: Virtue Signalling - give it a rest

"Virtue Signalling" new speak for someone calling you out on being an asshole?

No - it's the NewSpeak for "I can't argue against the stand that you are taking because it would show what a psycopath I am, so I'm going to denigrate it by suggesting that you are only taking that position to demonstrate how cool/liberal/socialist/caring[1] you are"
