Outrage Culture 

When people play the victim card and bend over backwards to be as offended as possible when they really aren't. Using hissy fits, political correctness, character assassination, and a false sense of moral authority, the outrager hopes to gain power and public recognition for their brave act of justice as well as a sense of control over their meaningless existence. Often accompanied by demands for financial compensation for their "pain and suffering".
"Why do we have warning labels that say 'Contains peanuts' on peanut jars and 'Contains milk' on milk cartons? Can't we just go back to using common sense instead of having to litigate everything in fear of lawsuits?"

"We only have the outrage culture to blame."

Outrage Party 

When a bunch of people protest something they don't understand, simply advocating for change from points of extreme outrage or emotion rather than rational thought. They believe they have a monopoly on compassion and justice. They will never attempt to have an honest discussion about what they are protesting as they are too either cowardly, misinformed, mentally ill, or indoctrinated to do so. They will shout down, shame, or demonize any other point of rational thought or view that conflicts with their own rather than try to understand, listen, or learn. They aren't actually protesting, they are having an outrage party.
Guy 1: Did you hear about that mass shooting the other day?
Guy 2: Oh yea, it was horrible.
Guy 1: There's going to be a protest against guns again.
Guy 2: Oh boy, here we go again.
Guy 1: You should go down there and try to talk some sense into them.
Guy 2: There's no point, it's not a protest. It's an outrage party.

outrage fatigue 

noun. outrage fatigue. the exhaustion and entropy that occurs from too much outrage. Occurs in waves, often during peak election cycles. Outrage fatigue tends to afflict politically active people, and can be worse when your party is not in power, or has a power deficit. It escalates during environmental catastrophes, especially ones that are caused by human negligence. It also develops during troublesome economic times like corporate bailouts and high unemployment. Outrage fatigue may threaten close friendships.
After the week of union protests in Madison, I'm finished. I have serious "outrage fatigue".

When I heard about the latest military intervention in Libya, I was stunned by my apathy,lack of concern and disinterest. This is my worst ever episode of "outrage fatigue".
