    Examples of real things are usually specific and real instances of those things actually occuring, I notice neither of your examples are (obe is the fiction comedy sketch, the other is just a general description you’ve written).

    So I’m going to continue to doubt the existence of “virtue signaling”.

      And I’m going to cease pretending that you’re receptive to reason and let you be pigheaded at someone else in stead. Have the day you deserve.

        Or maybe you just couldn’t come up with a genuine real world example of virtue signaling.

        See, that’s the thing about examples they provide substance capable of usurping reason. They’re a way of saying “see for yourself”.

        But I get it, you’re frustrating and lashing out, that’s okay. Everyone’s got emotions, and politics is a frustrating topic.

        Difficult to do comedy on in an age of saturation (and an election year to boot).

        Have a good day.

        And when called out for spreading the AstroTurf, they run away crying about how unreasonable those calling it out are…
