Virtue Signaling isn't the same thing as evangelizing the values you already live by, this is a dumb comment.
Virtue Signaling is an act of cowardice to appease a baying mob by reflecting it's values, or by otherwise hoping to weaponize said mob.
Living by your values and espousing them is not virtue signaling.
Please, for the love of God and all that is holy, do not try to adopt a slur we are wielding against our enemies.
"Hello fellow reactionaries! Let me explain to you how being a triggered snowflake is totally a good thing, and why we should adopt and embrace this language. Do you not have disgust sensitivity? That's being triggered. Are you not sensitive to your values being attacked? Well that's being a snowflake. So just remember: the next time a Leftist calls you a triggered snowflake, you look him dead in the eye and say: 'Yes I am!'. That's all for today, tune in tomorrow on how we can embrace the term: cuckservative."
Its becoming increasingly common for people on "our side" to not only have no idea what words mean, but have warped them so wildly from their actual history and meaning that its almost comical.
Which, ironically, is them falling for the Left game of constantly redefining words and getting lost in definitions to win arguments, something that only benefits them at this stage.
In fairness to a lot of people on this side of things, a lot of this terminology has a long enough history that frankly a lot of people are just plain too young to remember the original meaning of things.
Online right-wing culture would probably do well to develop its own version of the Jargon File, honestly.
I remember when I was a young lad wading my way into cultures for the first time. We had a meme for this exact scenario and defense for it.

As in, spend time to learn what is being talked about and immerse yourself in it before you start talking. You might realize that you aren't breaking new ground or don't know things if you spend the time listening instead of trying to shove your opinion in.
But I recognize that would get in the way of the grift for guys like this, and the virtue signal for the people commenting how much they hate the Wokes like soooooo much you guys.
When I was a young lad, you would be sent a link to the Jargon File so that you didn't sound like a total newb and/or annoy others by misusing existing terminology.
The concept of "learn the culture before you speak" was essentially the same, but there was a greater degree of formalism behind said culture.
