Anger or rage ignited by a perceived or real injustice/ offense; resentment or bitterness. The resulting feeling when one feels that they have been snubbed or screwed over, pissed off.

The public was bursting with indignation when the likes of child-killing whores Lori Drew and Casey Anthony were released for a "lack of evidence".

The LGBT community took to the streets in fierce indignation when Prop 8 was passed; how dare strangers meddle in their private lives and take their rights away!

indignation 

The fattest spell of all time! It's like thundaga on crack. It appears in the Tales of Phantasia series, and was originally used by Archie, the sluttiest character of all time.

Arche: INDIGNATION! EAT THAT MOFO!
Dhaos: Ouch.

Indignation Junkie 

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.

"Mary spends every night arguing furiously with people on FaceBook. What cause is she so fired up about?"

"Does it matter? One thing yesterday, something else today. She really just likes arguing. She's such an indignation junkie"

Righteous Indignation Junkie

A term for what motivates a keyboard warrior (or moral grandstanding in general.)

Morality or ethics isn't the point. Genuine concern for the issue they're talking about, isn't the point. And social status/clout, doesn't quite cover their motivations either. Because this is a very specific kind of affirmation seeking.

People who are righteous indignation junkies today, are basically like a modern representation of the Salem Witch Trial crew...They've just exchanged their pitch forks for keyboards, and stake kindle for declarations of hardline"wokeness".

Just as some hivemind Salem dipshits, got a dopamine/neuroepinephrine rush, burning people at the stake back in the day (because they thought their actions were on the side of the angels)...Today's righteous indignation junkies are motivated by a similar chemical cocktail.

It's just that torture and public executions aren't a common pastime anymore, so that thirst for blood had to get a post-modern rebranding. That's what today's insincere moral outrage essentially is. Blood thirstiness channelled into a more socially acceptable package.

Have you ever come across someone who appears to constantly jump on the bandwagon of angry editorial headlines, without really knowing or caring about the topic at hand? Do all their posts have a tone of righteous indignation? Do they never talk about things that might improve a social issue (or things that are currently being done)? Does it appear like critical thinking is a foreign country in their brain? And everything they say is motivated by wanting to feel righteously indignant?

That's a righteous indignation junkie.

Self-deluded indignation 

Becoming appalled and deeply indignant even though completely in the wrong.

Verb

A delusion is a false belief strongly held in spite of invalidating evidence. Self-deluded indignation goes one step further by demonstrating actual indignation towards the person with the correct, sane and rational position.

1. “I told the nurse she’d given me the wrong lab results and she went off on me explaining how she was the trained medical professional and that I was just an untrained layman. The problem with that of course is that she had actually given me the wrong fucking lab results!”

2. “Self-deluded indignation.”
