As they’re boat starts leaving the dock the next day, they yell to the locals “join us! Come!”… they do not actually intend on anyone to act upon the invitation. They were just being polite.

Get the sailor's invitation mug.Indignation Junkie is a term coined by David Brin in his novel "Existence". It refers to the gratification people feel when they are emotionally aroused by their own act of expressing outrage, frequently on a moral or social injustice issue. This actually causes their brains to release endorphins/dopamine, which cause a form of euphoria and further arousal. They actually get high from their own indignant rants.
