Why do people express so much moral outrage?
To put is simply:
It's much easier to point fingers at others than to look into the mirror.
So that's why Pantyfa is threatening kids?
I don't even know what that means.
Think about it.
Think about what?
What is Pantyfa?
What threats?
What kids?
Maybe for atheists. Me — I want a healthy society. It is outrageous that so many people insist on making it sick. I'm not entirely sure what 'moral outrage' is though..
Why do people express so much moral outrage?
A pair of academic researchers recently asked this question and discovered “that moral outrage at third-party transgressions is sometimes a means of reducing guilt over one’s own moral failings and restoring a moral identity.”
The paper is (appropriately) titled, “A cleansing fire: Moral outrage alleviates guilt and buffers threats to one’s moral identity.” It was written by Zachary K. Rothschild, an assistant professor of psychology at Bowdoin College, and Lucas A. Keefer, an assistant professor of social psychology at Southern Miss.

Wow, you haven't been keeping up with current events, have you? Pantyfa are "Antifa". Go find some videos and you'll see what I'm talking about. That said, Antifa has an incredible amount of rage over something that has nothing to do with them. Reminds me of the 60s all over again. The article might be one answer.
Maybe for atheists.
Fine.Try googling it, its really a thing.
Sounds to me like someone wants to stir up some drama.The Myth of Moral Outrage | Mind & Morality | Center for Humans & Nature
To be sure, people become angry when someone mistreats them or someone they care about, but is there a kind of anger that people experience when they learn that a complete stranger’s rights have been trampled? Surprisingly, the scientific support for the reality of this truly disinterested form of moral outrage is quite flimsy.
What kind of feces-laden nonsense is that? Had to dig pretty deep into some orifice to get to that comment right from the get-go.
For years I’ve seen morality described as relative by pretty much the very same people who now argue that failing to support Biden is an objective moral wrong.
I thought you might be seeking an actual discussion.
If you want to rage against a political, current events crap from fringe extremist groups, you posted this in the wrong section of DP.
I think it's just meant to bait atheists.
Fine.

Stay tuned I will post an example of what I mean when I come back but there are some posters who want to drag me down some rabbit trail every time I post anything.

I am but since you have nothing to contribute by your own admission you should sit this one out.
Yeah, most people recognize a bottom feeder when they see one...
What in hell is a button feeder?
