 didn't virtue signal, it would
eliminate that discomfort. You don't like the discomfort, otherwise you would
have written that you find virtue-signaling being maddening an enjoyable
experience. If it was neutral, you wouldn't use an emotional word to describe
it. Since you don't find the feeling enjoyable or neutral, and because of the
meaning of "maddening," that means you don't like it. Therefore, to prevent
your discomfort, you support people not virtue-signaling.

What action are you taking to demonstrably promote the reduction of virtue-
signaling?

It seems like much of the calling out of alleged virtue-signaling is virtue-
signaling itself.

Virtue signalling in this context is giving the _impression_ of doing
something.

Saying "We should treat the environment better" while being _honest_ about
your own [lack of] contribution is perfectly fine.

By the same token, I can complain about a group, and as long as I don't claim
that my complaints magically fixed the problem, that's fine.
