Moral Outrage: A Theory on Why We’re Seeing So Much of It

I've been saying this for quite a while now...so I'm not crazy or morally outraged. What we've been seeing with the left, the academics, the protesters, is an attempt to draw attention to others when they themselves are guilty. The difference is, these groups are not aware of their own behavior but somewhere deep deep inside, (you've got to go really really deep), they act out instinctively.

What's really disturbing about these groups is we're paying them to do so, money right out of your back pocket through taxes, donations and investments.

There is something to be said about Conscious Self inspection; but for the acts of government, politics, and destruction of your property, at our expense, we are justified to be outraged because we expected better of them.

So much for the separation of morality, ethics, accountability and state.

    My theory is that they are simply self righteous. For instance: When confronted with the concept of each person keeping the money that they work for rather than having it taxed away, they are against it. When asked why they reply; 'Because you wouldn't spend it correctly.' Meaning that you might spend it on causes they wouldn't approve of. There are many other examples of this.

    Whenever DJT posts I send him a note saying that OR this one "On page 218 in the book “The Art of the Deal” by Donald Trump he says “As far as I’m concerned, a deal is a deal, and I live up to what I’ve agreed to, even if I don’t believe I’m technically obligated by any specific contractual provision.” HRC 4 Prison, build that wall !! OR this one because it PROVES treason of mostly Democrats fighting him.https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20151022/10...

    There is a simple solution, PROSECUTE!!! those that break the law with violence and destruction of property. There could be less if other states did what Maine did. Maine required that all able bodied people collecting money HAD to work in a volunteer status for FOUR hours a WEEK. OVER 75% of the people stopped showing up to collect "their" money.

    I know the Gulch cringes at the thought of it and it's possible a misunderstanding of what was expressed in bicameral speak, but what comes to mind is. . .10 simple rules? and specifically...do not falsely accuse?!?!? or Do not throw stones if you live in a glass house?
    It's so basic, it's funny...

    The Golden Rule is difficult to promote here when you have a group blaming others for the deeds and thoughts they themselves are guilty of...

    I believe that a clear definition of the term "moral' (and it's derivatives) would be useful in a discussion such as this.

    Group think, think tanks, are groups that think alike...no new information and highly compartmentalized...if the integrated right understood that, they'd hold what Neothink calls: Master Mind Sessions...each one brings a different piece of the puzzle.

    But, I digress...what's in a name?

    One might also consider that folks on the left actually fear those who are willing to stand alone as individuals. They only feel safe in "group think" situations and conditions.

    We dont see whats going on behind the scenes, though. Presumable he is working hard to get his programs passed, and just is annoying the democrats with 2 second tweets without taking what they say to heart

    "...showing childish solidarity with fellow empty heads?"

    Hits the nail right on the head. BT

    "Community Organizer" at his best... ACORN, Occupy Wall Street, the Anarchists with the Black Outfits & Masks (pretty much a NAZI Brown Shirt in my opinion).

    Pun intended.

    they are trying to use up his time so he gets nowhere and then they can say he failed. No one wants to be attacked all the time and let political correctness bring you down. He has to realize that the people who elected him dont care about this nonsense. He needs to do what we hired him to do.
