"Or unless you're just trying to crowbar in a signal of your virtue?"

What is the point of saying this?

White supremacists are bad, why do you take issue with someone saying that?

Because it looks like using poor logic as a hook to express a rewardable ingroup opinion, and not anything interesting about why the writing quality has declined.

White supremacists are bad, and wrong.

What rewardable ingroup opinion? What ingroup? Every single person with a head on their shoulders should be against white supremacism.

Your reply reads the same as every reply from a far right peron. Calling everything "virtue signalling" as if people can't care about each other.

I think OP's point was that the writing was never great, I'm not sure what Mcinness's relation to Vice would be now.

Bringing in a virtuous point in irrelevant occasions is virtue signalling. By the way I can't stand people who litter, and I picked up 3 pieces of litter already today.
