Borrowing from Stolen Valour, Stolen Virtue is the behaviour of falsely celebrating yourself as a hero of the culture wars. It's defined by people who seek to attach themselves morally to social change in exchange for virtue medals. Changes that they either previously resisted, or had nothing to do with implementing.
How's that hypocrite Senator from South Australia, eh? She's a lesbian, *and* she voted against same sex marriage when in government, but now she struts around at the Mardi Gras like it was all her bloody idea. That's textbook Stolen Virtue

Get the Stolen Virtue mug.by virtue#0001 September 15, 2022
Get the virtue#0001 mug.A person, usually a white woman, who presents themselves as ultra liberal on social media, self-identifies as a vegan, leftist, feminist (loves labels), usually has lots of tattoos as it is part of their curated woke / progressive / punk-rock identity (costume). These people are very active on IG and are constantly posting and reposting virtue signals to compensate for not knowing who they are or what they stand for, living for affirmations from like-minded friends.
These people are so thirsty for that dopamine rush of a ‘view’ or ‘like’ that they rarely check sources and vet what they’re actually posting, and often repost things that aren’t factual, or in-line with progressive ideology. But do not dare call them out on it. These people will challenge authorities, governments, the police, via Instagram, but if you challenge THEM to be better, they will get flustered, break down, name call, and un-follow you. Mind you, these people are only "activists" online. They almost never participate in real life direct action.
These people tend to pursue careers as social workers or therapists, and are very public about it — also part of their woke ensemble to "do good in the world (because I'm a good person and I need you to know that)". The truth is that they are insecure and immature people who are grasping for identity. They are usually privileged in that they are white and receive financial support from their parents, well past their 20's and 30's.

Get the Virtue Signal Sarah mug.someone who draws their line in the sand over politically incorrect words; someone who has that liberal arts degree confidence when it comes to dismissing people because they don't fit their schema of a decent human being; you make one joke based on someones erratic behavior and then they use it as a platform or to rant about gender equality, wage gap, or other politics; ultimately the biggest ass sniffer rat that uses social justice and other important issues to inflate their own ego
