Real virtue is like the sun. It generates its own light.

Virtue signalers are like the moon, acting like it actually generated the light reflected off off the sun onto it. That’s why we used to call them moonbats during the George W. Bush years.

It's the social media equivalent of moving to Canada or whatever if the wrong person become president or that law is passed/not passed. It has exactly as much value as the time it took to say/type it out.
