Moral Outrage is a Manipulation Tool
Mainstream Media Manufacture Moral Outrage on Purpose
Whenever I'm seeing a moral outrage on ANY political issue - from Trump and Brexit to Palestine and Ukraine - I'm NOT buying it. Why? First of all, so many people being SO outraged at the events and people they can NOT relate personally is unnatural. Hence, this outrage is NOT genuine but ENTIRELY MANUFACTURED. And, if it is manufactured, then, someone had a clear goal to manufacture public outrage to their OWN benefit. Hence, it is direct and dirty manipulation of public opinion, and I'm, unlike many people, NOT going to be manipulated that easily.
Secondly, this moral outrage demonizes certain people or states OUT OF PROPORTION, using such very loud and loaded words as 'fascist', 'apartheid', 'genocide', and even comparing certain democratically elected politicians to Hitler. That loaded emotional language should also alarm ANY sane human being against anyone who uses this language.
Again, you can make a valid argument critisizing say Trump and his policies. But to unironically compare Trump with Hitler and to call all his supporters 'fascist' - it's too much, it's an absurd and terrible distortion of reality. Also, you can make an objective criticism of say Israeli policies towards Palestine. But to call the ONLY Jewish state in the world and the ONLY democratic state in the Middle East an 'apartheid and genocide' state is again an absurd and terrible distortion of reality.
The all absurd of it is fairly obvious to any sane person who thinks rationally and uses logic. The problem is that people making such loaded accusations are NOT thinking rationally - they think EMOTIONALLY. Their logic was replaced with a manufactured moral outrage. In this outrage they're SO pissed off say with Trump or Israel that NOTHING is TOO MUCH for them when it comes to the objects of their hate. And this is exactly a problem, and pretty dangerous one.
Why is it so dangerous? Well, if your manufactured outrage say against Trump or Israel had reached such a boiling point that literally NOTHING seems too much for you against objects of your hate, then you would NOT mind any terrible things happening to them, no matter how monstrous and unlawful they are. For example, October 7 massacre of Jews? Suits them right, Israel HAD ASKED FOR IT, shout lunatic Wokesters in their ecstatic moral outrage. Trump is illegally banned from ballots? Suits this 'pussy-grabbing' asshole right, we won't mind even him being sent to Guantamo because HE ENTIRELY DESERVES IT!
See the problem? So, NO MATTER whether Trump had actually committed a crime which would have warranted him being sent to Guantamo, these people would STILL CHEER him being sent here (irrespective to whether he's guilty or not!) because in their distorted by manufactured moral outrage mind he entirely deserves this and more, ANY shit which can come upon him in fact. THIS IS WHY manufactured moral outrage is so dangerous! Because if people are ready to disregard the LAW itself due to their moral outrage, they can disregard EVERYTHING.
Why media and corporate and billionaire political elite behind them manufacture this outrage? To advance their political agenda, ofc, and to get rid of their political opponents. For example it is crystal clear that Trump is not convenient for this ruling elite which backs up Democratic party, and they're ready to get rid of him at ANY COST. Hence all this massive smearing campaign and manufactured moral outrage.
Same with Israel. American elites and universities are swelling with Jihadist money, and Jihadist best interest is to annihilate the sate of Israel completely. So-called 'Palestine' is just instrumental in this truly neo Nazi goal (so much for who is a real genocidal Nazi here - not those whom your fake news are calling such), and 'Palestinians' are just a fodder in the fire of new Jihadist Holocaust.
This much is clear. what astonishes me is HOW MANY PEOPLE in the West and in US particularly are SO NAIVE and GULLIBLE to swallow all this shit whole and to allow their elite and media to brainwash them into unhealthy, psychotic outrage over the issues they have no idea about. How could people be SO DUMB, please do tell me? HOW could they believe every word of their media and politicians despite the countless evidence of their proven lies? HOW could they allow emotion - 'moral outrage', in particular - to completely replace their logic? All of it is incomprehensible for me.
Again, the point of this article is not to argue about Trump or Israel. For example I do NOT support Trump but support Israel, but this is not the point. The point is that NO MATTER what do you think of Trump, Israel or any other divisive political issue, you should stick to LOGIC and FACTS, not your FEELINGS, particularly - your manufactured moral outrage. To realize that this outrage was manufactured is a first step to get rid of it, by the way.
If you'd keep switching your brain off and thinking with your emotion instead, you would bring tons of misery upon our society. For example, in your idiotic psychotic 'moral outrage' you had already disregarded the rule of law in case of Trump and unprecedented since Holocaust massacre of Jews by HAMAS terrorists on 7th of October. What's next? You cheering for new Holocaust and throwing Jews into gas ovens? I had already heard Woke lunatics and their Jihadist friends chanting 'Gas the Jews', by the way. Or turning US into USSR? I had already heard same people saying that 'voting is bad for our democracy', by the way (because would vote not for those candidates these people want to get elected). So, what's next?
ALL of this shit is because people think with their emotion instead of brain! So, maybe, it's time to STOP? And to get rid of ANY moral outrage manufactured in you by media propaganda and to begin think with your OWN brain instead? And yeah with your BRAIN, not with your FEELINGS! Maybe then the catastrophe could be avoided.
