    Does anybody actually like virtue signalling? I feel like the people who this is supposed to “pander” to are either

    1. dying of cringe
    2. Don’t care
    3. Able to see through it being the scam it is
    4. More worried about more important things, eg, Palestine

    And everyone who doesn’t like it just gets mad.

    It’s like they’re trying to sow division or something to turn the working class against each other

      It has to start somewhere. Today it’s virtue signaling, tomorrow it’s normal and expected.

      Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons can still be a win.
