vermin-signalling

To dismiss any expression of solidarity, anti-racism, objection to misogyny etc as "virtue-signalling".

Vermin-signalling is simultaneously an attempt to discredit the views - most likely in favour of a minority group - that are being expressed, while underlining the dominance of the "correct" group, and an efficient method of establishing that you hold utterly verminous views that will probably mean your family slowly stop talking to you on Facebook or even coming round for Thanksgiving.

"My uncle's all over Facebook again, shouting about how people who object to black people being killed in their own homes are 'virtue-signalling'. He always starts vermin-signalling when he's drunk, but that just keeps getting earlier in the day."

Get the vermin-signalling mug.

Northfield, Vermont

A small town in Vermont located near Barre and it's capital, Montpelier. Northfield is home to several historic churches, and five scenic covered bridges. Special events such as the Vermont Quilt Festival, the Labor Day Observances-featuring the largest parade in the state, the Cabot Hosiery Sock Sale, and Ellie's Farm Market Jack-o-lantern show are held here annually.

Very small town where everyone will know your business and a place where there's just about NOTHING to do unless you drive to another town.

I'm going to go visit Northfield, Vermont.
