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 one's ego, gleaming with pride, to show that you should be just like me.

Virtue signalling is a commonly held trait of [[liberal]]s in the public eye (such as politicians, [[Hollywood values|Hollywood celebrities]] and [[liberal media]] figures), as well as of liberals among the general public; those who publicly signal their supposed "virtue", however, most often do this to cover up [[hypocrisy|hypocritical]] views/actions which are opposite to the views they claim to have, such as:
*Claiming to have "anti-racist" views via their public support of [[Black Lives Matter]], which is actually a racist Democrat organization that has very little to do with actual support for blacks and is also an illegal money-laundering scheme and fundraising front for the Democrat Party's presidential campaign.<ref>[https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/06/exclusive-donations-including-international-funding-blacklivesmatter-com-go-directly-dnc-money-laundering/ Donations, Including International Funding, to BlackLivesMatter.com Go Directly to ActBlue, Which Supports the DNC] at the Gateway Pundit</ref><ref>[https://thenationalpulse.com/politics/biden-black-lives-matter-defund-the-police/ EXCLUSIVE: Black Lives Matter Website, ‘Defund The Police’ Donations Go to ‘Act Blue’, The ‘Biden For President’ Campaign’s Top Source of Donations]</ref>
*Claiming to "support" the environment and demanding that people give up necessities to "save" the environment and stop "climate change", while refusing to give up their own energy-consuming luxuries and leaving tons of trash at "climate change" protests for others to clean up.<ref>[https://townhall.com/columnists/susanstamperbrown/2017/05/02/protesters-are-environmental-hypocrites-n2320627 Protesters are Environmental Hypocrites] at TownHall.com</ref>
*[[MeToo movement|Claiming to "support"]] female victims of sexual assault and harassment while hijacking that support for political purposes (most notoriously with the [[Kavanaugh smear]]<ref>[https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/408302-judge-kavanaugh-and-the-weaponization-of-metoo Judge Kavanaugh and the weaponization of #MeToo] at The Hill</ref>), [[left-wing war on women|attacking women while using their positions of power to keep their victims quiet]] and hypocritically ignoring assault/harassment victims if they happen to be conservative women.
