'''Virtue signalling''' is a phrase claimed to originate from journalist James Bartholomew of The Spectator. It's a meaning describing how an individual proclaims they are virtuous and and have good character by proclaiming one's moral superiority against others. By expressing opinion or sentiments that you are good, that your behavior is noble, others should be viewed as racist, not open-minded and likely phobic. The [[phrase]] demonstrates a need to project feelings and receive [[praise]] from others. Its use boosts ones' ego, gleaming with pride, to show that you should be just like me.
In [[biblical]] comparison, [[Jesus]] would say, "He that is without [[sin]] among you, let him first cast a stone at her." Also the Two Worshipers [[parable]] of the Pharisee and the publican, described as "God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are, [[extortion]]ers, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican."
