No, it does not mean you are a good person. Used mostly by totalitarian or Marxist regimes. As they hide behind a nation’s iron curtains. To forward their diabolical. illegal schemes. Definition Virtue signaling is the “popular “ modern habit of indicating that one has virtue….merely by expressing disgust or favor for certain political ideas or cultural happenings.” So when the government demands a mandate People follow saying,“ see I am a good person!” It has nothing to do with how you as a human rate, Virtue is based on your goodness..precious mate. 6/6/2033

Very well put indeed. Virtue is based on goodness(yes!), not on blindness. I love the Virt Sigs of the commercial world saying 'plant based' on their box or bottle. All of a sudden 'plant based' is a virtue, lol.

Wow, David, you are sharp and witty…virtue signaling is verily poisoning our minds, hope folks will enjoy bug burgers as beef is evil, sheesh! Hope they can afford electric cars as gas is evil . China has dirty air not the USA. The climate change hoax is horrible. Too lare, now,,fake News sold the public a bill of goods. You say it well. Virtue is based on goodness not blindness. Get a white cane for most Americans, duped by the press.such liars ..Pangie xx .

Love the photo... It is hard to believe a dog being vegan. My dog is a cat lover. Blessing my lady friend

The Cartoon…Is supposed to be us, as the dog.))) Many won’t eat meat unless it’s organic. Many are vegans.we have been scared by virtue Signaling just like the dog. I am not taking a position here..some will eat only organic. Some won’t. Humans destroy themselves by being vegan. But like the dog have been virtue signaled. Same goes for climate change. The USA does not have dirty air, period….but we have been virtue signaled to buy that idea. Same for abortion. Love you, Pangie.

yes, so true. And it disgusted me to see a few inactive Soupers on FB showing off their Vaccination certificates and making their part of them icons or something. Lunacy and idiocy from two women who are seemingly very intelligent.

Andrea, I have been insulted early on and boo to the poet who let hid ferocious attack on me pass like nothing. Nos he smacks every around, I saw it in his blog. I have no room for cruel people in my life , pain? Insults! Who needs that. Block monsters. Right away. Take no abuse. Pangie

also I lost a few friends who are Democrats. they never like anything I post on FB even though I like many of their posts. I have no politics. I am totally Independent, but we are judged as a certain political party if some of our ideologies don't line up with these people's.

yes, one man here mocked me and said vile things to me for suggesting we not take the toxic vax. I had to block him. He was once a friend of mine years ago. I don't even know if he is here any more. The two women have been inactive for years and are even published authors now. They won't even have a civil conversation with me about this topic. Ugggg.

Andrea, that is sickening!! But I can figure who they are.. and maybe they think they are soldiers and want a Purple Heart from Biden?What a crazy world.. when fellow poets want us put to death, we unless we believe in Fauci like Christ! Ok with me they were vaxxed, not OK are poets wishing death on the unvaxxed. Men here not women said this. Men here were calling for our death? A fascinating world?Thanks for having the courage to respond. You are a true American with guts and chutzpah. Love, Pangie

So true! People think more like sheep than individuals. Break the virtue signaling curse - be free!

Wow,Elena…love your comment! Be free, you betcha. It’s much easier to be a sheep! As for being an individual, people run away. So what? Me! I got fed up at 18 with the utter nonsense of conformity.and lived life free. Made mistakes, grew, learned and I still am. I want no part of the lonely crowd! It’s sad to see my fellow adults afraid to be genuine The most exciting part! Live has been a thrill. I only attract people who are not sheeples. Merci, Pangie.xx
