At least among the young, far more rebellious in today’s climate are those of us who, mixing love of country with an independence of mind, refuse to force everything in our culture through the unforgiving woodchipper of identity politics.

Virtue-signalling is not new. But it has enjoyed a special burgeoning in recent decades, not least because modern culture sooner rewards noisy displays of passion than less visible acts of virtue.

The revolutionary afterlife of Hegel’s political thought is proof of the power of a philosophical system, once seized by less cautious hands, to outpace its original creator.
