"woke virtue signaling" is the same thing that "political correctness" was ten years ago, right?
I mean, when I hear people complaining about "woke virtue signaling" I don't know what that means other than "being respectful" and "modeling good behavior".
If you're limiting that description to actual hypocrisy, then that's one thing. But in the absence of modeling good behavior, the only alternative is behavior that gets worse and worse. Because as soon as someone tries to stand up for a higher bar, it's "woke virtue signaling".
The phrase almost sounds like an incantation at this point, like it has no meaning other than to express a grievance.
Alternatively, after climbing past that initial resistance, joining in trying to raise the bar can actually be kind of fun, if the intent is more in improving one's own behavior than in just (hypocritically) judging others.

Come on, it's not that. "Just being respectful" is very different from the coercive tactics of the zealous kind we have seen in the recent years.
