The #Psychology of #Moral_Grandstanding | Brandon Warmke | Big Think | Moral Grandstanding is the use of moral talk for #self_promotion. Moral grandstanders have #egotistical_motives: they may want to signal that they have #superhuman_insight (ugh!) into a topic, paint themselves as a #victim, or show that they #care_more_than_others.
Moral philosophers view moral grandstanding as a #net_negative. They argue that it contributes to political polarization, increases levels of cynicism about moral talk and its value in public life, and it causes outrage exhaustion.
Grandstanders are also a kind of social free rider, says Brandon Warmke. They get the benefits of being heard without contributing to any valuable discourse. It's selfish behavior at best, and divisive behavior at worst.
