virtue signalling

Share definition
A phenomena where someone campaigns for or otherwise shows their support for an often popular position without actually doing anything meaningful to further the cause that they claim to champion. This is one of the main signs of late democracy and otherwise shows the prevalence of cult figures in a society: political or otherwise.
Also takes form with "thoughts and prayers", and other meaningless statements.
-Damn, all of these people are virtue signalling about the Freedom Convoy.
-The easiest way to become respected on twitter is to virtue signal in support of trans rights.
