One good thing about far-leftist virtue-signaling

The modern far-leftist "social justice" ideology is a cult. It has pretty much every single hallmark of a cult (with perhaps the only exception being one singular person who is the leader that every member worships and follows).

One of the characteristics of such a cult is following commands like sheep, with no criticism, no questions, no skepticism. When an idea spreads enough in the far-leftist cult, ie. reaches a critical point of popularity so that it ends up spreading among the entire cult population, pretty much all of the members will obey and start following what the idea is commanding them to do.

One of these ideas that has spread among the members is the idea that they should virtue-signal in social media and everywhere by putting their "preferred pronouns" in their bios, use one or more of the five million alphabet flags, and proudly announce their "gender identity" or whatever, from the nine billion possibilities.

For skeptics, for people who don't really care about these people and their ideology, this is in fact a blessing in disguise.

For example, if you start watching a YouTube video with a person talking, and you get that hunch that the person might be a far-leftist bigot, there's usually a way to easily corroborate that: Just check the description of the video, or the youtuber's profile. Almost invariably there will be links to facebook, twitter and many other social media websites. Click on one of them (twitter is especially good for this) and check the bio: If pronouns, flags, and/or sexual orientations or gender identities appear, you will know that the person is a far-leftist bigot. You can then decide whether you want to continue watching the video or move to something else.

This works surprisingly well. There's just something about the far-leftist "social justice" cult that makes people look or behave in a suspicious manner, even when they aren't overtly trying to express their political stances by words, outward appearance or demeanor.

In fact, watching enough of them, one kind of develops an instinct, an "SJW radar" of sorts. Quite often there's just something about the person, about how they look, how they speak, their mannerisms, minor things that they say, the way they might say them, that just starts tingling that instinct, that causes the "SJW radar" to start beeping, even when the person isn't outright blurting out SJW rhetoric. The suspicion is often easy to corroborate by checking the social media profiles.

Of course this isn't a 100% fool-proof thing, but it works surprisingly well.
