Moral outrage is often just an identity of the underachieved

She went to Africa didn’t get AIDS but got a different virus. People of no achievement structure themselves around moral outrage because it only requires belief not action not skill. Their identity becomes witch hunting as a mob. Moral outrage is often just an identity of the underachieved. This is why so many Karens want to speak on behalf of the oppressed or consider themselves as an ally of whatever group they feel is marginalized. Fighting the isms doesn’t require any discipline, any self improvement or any achievement. It is just a set of rules they invent themselves and then can feel holier than thou. Religious moral outrage works the same way. It’s almost never a sincere belief or study of theology. It’s a vehicle for in group preference where they assign themselves a morally superior position based on nothing but beliefs. Beliefs are pegged to dogma but that doesn’t matter. You cannot be moral unless you believe in what they do because that’s also one of their beliefs. What’s sad it this projection is usually based on how they imagine they would behave without the fear put into them by their faith and they assume everyone else is as lowly and carnal as they are. A high mind can understand what is below it. But low mind can not imagine above itself. Even the deities they invent have the same petty qualities of a low functioning person only with super powers. This is not to say an actual God is that way, but their interpretations of it always become reflections of their own flaws and limitations. We have totally difference concepts of something with a shared title. But the mind virus also works without a formal religion. In the west anti-racism has become a cult. Murdering thousands of Libyans is less damaging to a political career than calling then niggers would be. Murdering Iraqis, Syrians, can be done without consequence but calling them sand niggers would be instant cancellation. You see they can not feel special about opposing murder. Most people have always opposed murder. But opposing racism is special because they usually are a racist or were one and they are proud of themselves for overcoming that. So they express with great zeal each trying to out do the other to condemn that evil. But when it is a far far more serious crime, it doesn’t matter. They get no psychological pat on the back for it, so they become indifferent to it. Europeans can just get raped and killed by migrants. Meh. But when the opposite happens well then its wrong but only because of the race/religion angle not the killing. Murdering Palestinians is wrong because its white colonialism. Killing Russians, they cheer for it. Some even cheered for the destruction of Syria because the browner Muslims did it.
