#2 Psychologists are self-serving say moral people

Sounds like some nihilists (liberals) are preparing to sway public opinion.

#5 These professors should be glad I did not participate in this study. I love my gas stove, gas hot water heater, gas furnace, gas cars.. My moral outrage is against those trying to take them away.

#7 Anytime someone gets involved in other's lives, it's from feeling superior. You wouldn't do it if you felt inferior.

#8 Children run down their siblings to feel better about themselves. Some never grow out of it.

#12 Unabomber ted k nailed it in his manifesto. A true ruined genius.

Moral outrage rewards a person for expressing their aggressive hostility which would otherwise be censured
Same, cry-bullying

It is about being praised for and enjoying the expression of hostile aggression

It is self-indulgent, a sweet moral treat. BLM burning down buildings and getting bailed out, not arrested, praised as crusaders against racism

It is the most vile of human psychology, the scum at the bottom of the barrel, the dishonest thief of praise for evil acts

#14 Another confirmation during Conspiracy Theorists Month.

So no shit, back in the day there I was getting my first hours on highway driving. Thought, "How cool would it be if vehicles could talk to each other, coordinate, and call out warnings.

Five minutes into the first online game lobby, had a straight decision that would have been a really, reallly bad idea.
