I speak for Justice. Call it conservative if you want. I call it Karma, what goes around comes around. Alex Jones richly deserves a royal rogering & I hope he gets it.
Well, what do you mean by justice. Do you mean doing what is fair, or do you mean getting what you deserve when you don't or both. These things can lead in different directions I think. For a liberal like me virtue is the love of doing what is right for the sake of the self respect that it brings, but for a conservative or too many of them, in my opinion, their idea is that justice should be maintained by fear. This, I think, is a difference that springs from a deeper source, the faith that people are basically good but corruptible or basically evil and manageable only by means of threat.
I don't have a preference for what we want to call what you here express. My interest is in being personally clear on the nature of moral outrage. It's a pretty terrible thing, I think, if there isn't any true morality behind it, where it is based on unconscious assumptions that have been inculcated by violence. I may not be quite so comfortable accepting my moral outrage as objectively based as you are. I would also, as a direct result, be far more comfortable pushing the love of truth as a virtue with infinite rewards over the fear of going to hell for being evil. That last part (hell) is a given because it implies the absence of the first (the satisfactions of self respect).
