My two cents, this seems like a comment it should be up to the OP to make instead of virtue signaling.

You can safely assume that anyone who uses “virtue signaling” unironically has nothing substantive to say.
>[People who call out performative bullshit should be ignored because they’re totally wrong and I totally mean it.]
Maybe you’re just being defensive? I’m sure he didn’t mean an attack at you personally.
It’s presumptuous of you to assume I was offended.
Accusing someone of “virtue signaling” is itself virtue signaling, just for a different in-group to use as a thought terminating cliche. It has been for decades. “Performative bullshit” is a great way to put it, just not in the way you intended.
If the OP had a substantive point to make they would have made it instead of using vague ad hominem that’s so 2008 it could be the opening track on a Best of Glenn Beck album (that’s roughly when I remember “virtue signaling” becoming a cliche).
...you know, people can have opinions about the best way to behave outside of self-aggrandizement, even if your brain can't grasp this concept.
From the list of virtues, which one was this signaling?
That list needs updating. Lots of things became virtuous in scenario. During Covid, fear was a virtue. You had to prove how scared you were of it, all the masks you wore because it made you “one of the good ones” to be fearful.
