If I was attempting virtue signalling, I wouldn't have bought an ICE over an EV.

Audi sell EVs as well as ICEs. You said you’d bought an Audi after considering a Tesla. As I said, poorly-executed virtue signal.

Really not. Only full on anti-capitalist care about origins of companies deep into last century. And even they are doing it for larger capitalism bad reasons.

Plus there is nothing wrong with virtue signaling, really. It beats vice signaling by miles and it beats passivity too.

Why is virtue signalling bad? It's demonstrating that you care about something related to human dignity. Do you really think that is so awful that you laugh at it? What would have been better virtue signalling?
