Ep. 75 Moral grandstanding, virtue signaling, & outrage culture

In this episode, we’re talking about moral grandstanding — the tendency to use moral talk, social media posts, or public outrage to boost our own reputation rather than genuinely engage with a cause. From pile-ons and one-upping to exaggerated emotional displays, the internet has created an environment where being seen as “morally right” can become its own form of status. But what does this do to our relationships, our mental health, and our ability to actually address real injustice? This conversation explores the psychology behind moral grandstanding and how it shows up in current events like the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni case.  We’ll get into: What moral grandstanding actually is The different types: piling on, ramping up, trumping up, and more Holier-than-thou attitudes on social media Why outrage can feel productive in times of powerlessness How constant moral signaling leads to exhaustion and disconnection Why we should condemn the behavior, not the person A messy, nuanced conversation about morality, the internet, and how to stay grounded in public discourse.
