This is an outrage! - Princess Donut
This is why I abandon morality and just do what I feel like doing.
For me it seems to lead to making conscious choices at the store, setting up a monthly donation for a charity I believe in and generally trying to indiscriminately treat people as I would prefer to be treated (I just don’t expect reciprocity, because fuck morals).
This is a ridiculous and unbelievable statement. How DARE you.
I don’t know if it is in general but social media has definitely made it so (or amplified it.)
I think moral outrage is one of the only forms of socially acceptable bullying, ie, you can say anything to someone who is transgressing whatever the trendy social outrage is. (Give someone shit for wearing child labour and “you don’t know…” Etc.)
Well yeah, feeling like you’re better than others/have a higher level of elite thought feels amazing.
Anything that produces the Good Feeling Chemicals™ can be addictive. That includes smug superiority.
(Mmm, yeah… That’s the good stuff… 🤤)
Man, every time someone acts shockingly immorally I just get sad, and if I’m mad that’s a secondary feeling. None of it is addictive. I’m addicted to people doing the right thing when it’s difficult. 🤷
Yeah those shockingly immoral people get my dick hard too
🙄😔
I cannot disagree more,
This is just thoughts to become part of the mob of the problem, with every problem, because moral-ethical outrage is the beginning, there are tons to be outraged about & it so intersectionalistic that all are affected by all problems!
Are you telling me that you don’t enjoy it and seek it?
No way
I came to edit this reply, because I cannot leave it just with that.
I look for & want to exchange with members, with different perspectives that comes from different morality, ethnics & Etc… Thus I do look for & want moral & ethnic outrage, not to be confuse with looking for & wanting close minded, just angry-yelling at each other & in the establishment boxes & not intersectionalism (though in reality is) & such exchanges. Waste of time.
Like remon@ani.social member, at Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world feed- “Being vegan is unnatural” thread, which I really disagree with, but we spent a ton resources exchanging posts, with what I describe above.
but is outrage not a fun emotion to play around with?
I see what youre saying, but when the emotion hits, it doesn’t feel good for like 10 seconds before you throw the emotion away?
Not the guy you replied to, but I’m both intrigued and horrified by the idea of having emotions working like that. Honestly haven’t even considered it.
Thank you for this, it made me do a full stop and I am left confused.
haha, how are you confused? you’ve never had an emotion elicit a response from you, like anger? did you ever just act on it and regret it later?
or, have you ever actef on any emotion before giving it thought? believe it or not, people do this, and its really dangerous tbh
Last time I had a proper surge of emotion I got angry that some stranger forcibly pushed me on public transport. I struggle enough standing on public transport with low grade cerebral palsy.
I did not like emotionally responding like that one bit. Spent days trying to figure out why I got so upset by someone acting like an ass. Did not care for it. The idea of wanting to elicit that kind of emotion is just unfathomable to me. I prefer when everything is just kind of muted.
