A cleansing fire: Moral outrage alleviates guilt and buffers threats to one's moral identity
Moral Outrage Is Self-Serving, Say Psychologists - Hit Run : Reason.com

Here's the gist of Rothschild and Keefer's findings:

1 Triggering feelings of personal culpability for a problem increases moral outrage at a third-party target. For instance, respondents who read that Americans are the biggest consumer drivers of climate change "reported significantly higher levels of outrage at the environmental destruction" caused by "multinational oil corporations" than did the respondents who read that Chinese consumers were most to blame.

2 The more guilt over one's own potential complicity, the more desire "to punish a third-party through increased moral outrage at that target." For instance, participants in study one read about sweatshop labor exploitation, rated their own identification with common consumer practices that allegedly contribute, then rated their level of anger at "international corporations" who perpetuate the exploitative system and desire to punish these entities. The results showed that increased guilt "predicted increased punitiveness toward a third-party harm-doer due to increased moral outrage at the target."

3 Having the opportunity to express outrage at a third-party decreased guilt in people threatened through "ingroup immorality." Study participants who read that Americans were the biggest drivers of man-made climate change showed significantly higher guilt scores than those who read the blame-China article when they weren't given an opportunity to express anger at or assign blame to a third-party. However, having this opportunity to rage against hypothetical corporations led respondents who read the blame-America story to express significantly lower levels of guilt than the China group. Respondents who read that Chinese consumers were to blame had similar guilt levels regardless of whether they had the opportunity to express moral outrage.

4 "The opportunity to express moral outrage at corporate harm-doers" inflated participants perception of personal morality. Asked to rate their own moral character after reading the article blaming Americans for climate change, respondents saw themselves as having "significantly lower personal moral character" than those who read the blame-China article—that is, when they weren't given an out in the form of third-party blame. Respondents in the America-shaming group wound up with similar levels of moral pride as the China control group when they were first asked to rate the level of blame deserved by various corporate actors and their personal level of anger at these groups. In both this and a similar study using the labor-exploitation article, "the opportunity to express moral outrage at corporate harm-doing (vs. not) led to significantly higher personal moral character ratings," the authors found.

5 Guilt-induced moral outrage was lessened when people could assert their goodness through alternative means, "even in an unrelated context." Study five used the labor exploitation article, asked all participants questions to assess their level of "collective guilt" (i.e., "feelings of guilt for the harm caused by one's own group") about the situation, then gave them an article about horrific conditions at Apple product factories. After that, a control group was given a neutral exercise, while others were asked to briefly describe what made them a good and decent person; both exercises were followed by an assessment of empathy and moral outrage. The researchers found that for those with high collective-guilt levels, having the chance to assert their moral goodness first led to less moral outrage at corporations. But when the high-collective-guilt folks were given the neutral exercise and couldn't assert they were good people, they wound up with more moral outrage at third parties. Meanwhile, for those low in collective guilt, affirming their own moral goodness first led to marginally more moral outrage at corporations.
 
Let me try to wrap my head around this--so leftists and the msm spent the last year+ desperately pushing russiagate and cheering on Mueller, praying for a Trump indictment, but now it was all an elaborate scheme by Trump and Mueller to shut down leftist discourse? Anyone who previously dared to question or suggest the investigation was a sham was said to be a traitor, Trump shill or Russian bot by the same retards.

Have lefties paid a shred of attention to censorship of alternative news with their bs 'fact-checking', censorship of conservative or dissenting voices on social media, warnings of people like Greenwald on knowingly pushing false russian conspiracy theories? Leftists are pushing the destruction of their own free speech(along with everyone else's) by attempting to silence the speech of opposing ideologies(or turning a blind eye to those on their own side who do), and it's hard to sympathize with them. Jimmy Dore seems to get this point to his credit.

But at any rate if you call this a shit-show, I'm not sure what you call Europe or Scandinavia.

Jimmy Dore has been calling bullshit on Russian collusion pretty much the whole time, mostly because it's obvious to him that the DNC was crooked as fuck during the election, there's no direct evidence of anything after almost 2 years, and because he gets demonetized too for ridiculous things.
