Or is moral outrage partially an attack on one’s own hypocrisy.
Or, moral outrage based on people’s desire to view themselves as morally upright people. Threats to one’s moral self-image have been shown to elicit unpleasant feelings of guilt that can motivate efforts to restore a positive view of oneself. This is commonly expressed by issuing an apology or making amends.
Moral outrage is much more than an obvious response to injustice; nor merely a concern with justice, or way to appear virtuous to others, nor even a way to cope with personal guilt.
What is it?
One thing for sure, it is not what it appears to be.
