How to #Defeat #Moral_Grandstanders (and stay classy while doing it) | 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 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.
