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."

Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
