He is a true paragon of virtue

When virtue becomes so concentrated that it collapses into a singularity and forms a black hole of virtue.
1. The Students Against Climate Racism protest culminated in a virtue singularity, from which no intelligible thought could escape.
2. Our laws of civility and rational discourse break down at the virtue singularity.

Social virtue, makes reference to the active roll of all members within society, in the adhering to the principle of moral fairness in relation with all matters of the economy, such as commerce and trade. Such a measure entails the moral self applied restraint and discipline of every individual within society, refraining from partaking in the excessive pursuit of the accumulating materialistic wealth which is a attribute of greed . Which inevitably results in the over pricing or charging of essential produce and goods, a prospect which is the leading cause for the manifestation of corruption and inevitably hunger and poverty within society.

Debator: Yes they do! What you don't know is that they matter more than your virtue signaling.
