Virtue signalling is the conspicuous expression of moral values.[1] The term was first used in signalling theory, to describe any behavior that could be used to signal virtueespecially piety among the religious.[2] In recent years, the term has become more commonly used as a pejorative by commentators to criticize what they regard as empty or superficial support of certain political views, and also used within groups to criticize their own members for valuing appearance over action.[3][4]

9/11 virtue signaling is when people use this day to justify all the shitty actions that came afterwards like this never ending war, the massive amount of government overreach and pointless loss of life

it's pretty shitty that the first assumption is that people are only doing it to LOOK good
like sure there are some people who do that

but the concept is being used to just handwave away pretty much anyone who holds a passive feeling of social justice

Virtue signaling has no meaning anymore because conservatives decided to call any form of compassion and defense of the rights of others that they didnt like virtue signaling

So no we dont know what it means

But it's usually true about 9/11. These tributes from politicians are about as sincere as the "Support our Veterans" bullshit. Look at what Trump tweeted about the anniversary of 9/11. Couldn't even be bothered to hire a PR firm to issue an official statement. Dude litterally just said "9/11 was 17 years ago! So sad!"

It's true about most major events.
I wouldn't say memorializing PEARL HARBOR victims is "virtue signaling"

Even if they're just doing it for political points, it's good because we shouldn't forget that it happened

We also shouldn't stop asking WHY it happened
but we have lol

You're right. I think the fact that Bush exploited 9/11 to start a war in Iraq and do all kinds of awful shit is whats making me so cynical about people's sincerity

People cant even just be decent without criticism anymore

Same goes for the term SJW when applied to anyone who isnt the stereotype of being constantly offended all the time

No "virtual signalling" is stuff like Trump's inauguration, where he pretended there were more people than actually.
