  • I have no idea singling is.   Sounds like the name of  a Chinese girl. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at March 27, 2017 3:54 PM MDT

  • Anyway,  virtue signaling is when people interject some kind of moral or ethical stance in order to enhance their image or standing with others.  Usually out of context or in an non-constructive way and with platitudes and non-constructive claims.

    Example:
    Do you like deep fried foods?
    A:   No.   As an ethical vegan I find that veggies are best served baked, raw, or broiled.

  • Ah. So fancied up posturing then?  Unfortunately this is something we are all inclined to do at times.

  • It's a term that refers to all the idiots posting on social media acting like they give a farrk about social issues ... While sitting on their couch doing nothing but typing into a computer ... Or smartphone ... So virtuous idiots ... Idiots. Word of the day is idiots.

  • Yeah!
    Virtue signalling's retarded twin named Slacktivism.
