Outrage Mob

(out-reyj mob) n. A group of people that have banded together in a common goal. It is made up of individuals, whom blame their problems of failure on others. They have no personal responsibility for their short comings, and over compensate by blaming others. They attack what ever is going to provide the maximum amount of virtue signaling.

The outrage mob came for the Washington Redskins, because it offended white people on American Indian’s behalf.

outrage archaeologist

One who sifts through historical records with the intent of discovering information on past actions or statements by persons or entities alive, dead, active or defunct - the relevance of which has long since passed - for the express purpose of alerting the public to the "resurfaced" material in order to take a moral stance and/or instill outrage.

By dredging-up a long-forgotten, 48 year old interview of John Wayne - who died in 1979 - the outrage archaeologist had rediscovered statements far more controversial in the present than they had been in the past, thus creating a new moral outrage over a functional irrelevancy.
