VIRTUE SIGNALING SIGNAGE: “Today, in many areas of the country, we are subject to a dismayingly large number of house or lawn signs condescendingly proclaiming: "In This House, We Believe: Black Lives Matter; Women's Rights Are Human Rights; No Human Is Illegal; Science Is Real; Love Is Love; Kindness Is Everything." This takes inanity and hollow virtue-signaling to a new and disturbing level. These signs are easily translated: “We Believe We Are Better Than Others Or At Least Wish To Appear So.”
They are the opposite of inclusive, welcoming and egalitarian. They are, in a sense, “hate speech,” marginalizing and filled with imbecilic microaggressions. They insult and denigrate the reader on several levels, in a childishly moronic attempt to make the purveyor of the messages feel holier-than-thou...
This proliferation of empty virtue-signaling has paralleled the proliferation of multiculturalism, identity politics and intersectionalism, all of which have tended to divide us from one another, black from white, women from men, etc., etc. And now, progressive proselytizers seek to demonize the rest of us.“
And their signs are just like their memes- a wall of text that you cant read from your car so you only know what it says if you're out for a walk an get up to the edge of their yard to even see what it says.

...but somehow, they say exactly what you knew they would.
