No, they weren't. Virtue Signalling isn't a real phenomena. It's a completely made up thing. It doesn't describe something that is real. It's a fake idea used to try to discredit and silence people raising issues. It isn't a thing that people who are real and alive do.

virtue signaling is a thing dude, but before nazis stole it it was about stuff like that joke about someone only donating to NPR to get the tote bag with NPR on it or something, the people who only support a cause to be seen supporting a cause and don't care about the actual ideals and poo poo.

No it isn't, because it was literally invented by neo-nazis. The term virtua signaling is literally something that neo-nazis invented.

it was loving LessWrong just taking a really simple jump from general signalling theory to say that people like to be acknowledged as Good People in the least controversial statement ever.
