There were once virtues, shared values and a common good. Abortion and minor attracted persons were known to be misanthropic concepts and would only be “healthcare” in the world without hospitals and when doctors were just paid servants. Then rich narcissists made sure that the wage earner had the right attitude. You know it’s all about attitude— if you have enough money you think you’re a god, that is, and your attitude is not the one in question.
So, the concept of virtue signaling relates to making things up as virtues when there is no absolute truth and the morality that is necessitated by truth. This is then a thing which rhetoricians have always done but was considered “yellow journalism” or disreputable. You might consider this viewpoint.

We can be brave, but we will never be free.
Take heart, nothing is impossible.
Bless your heart, David.
