Moral High Ground

Taking a stance of being morally right in order to be viewed by your peers of being a good person, most people just use the moral high ground as an attempt to look good in an argument.

Person 1: "Michael J Fox can't use an Etch-A-Sketch because of Parkinson's."
Person 2: "Wow, that is so offensive."
Person 1: "Stop taking the moral high ground."

Moral panic paradox

Intense hysteria about a social or political problem that, instead of solving or reducing the problem, actually makes it worse.

The intense xenophobia behind the Trump Administration's efforts to stop migrants from Central America from entering the U.S. have actually increased the number of asylum seekers many times over from during the Obama Administration. It's an example of a "moral panic paradox" -- people are afraid the asylum laws will change so they need to immigrate now before that happens. Another moral panic paradox happens when gun-control advocates seek limits on the sale of assault rifles after a mass shooting. The result is increased sales of assault rifles because people feel they need to buy them now before the laws change.

moral procrastination

Doing interesting stuff that feels like you're making the world better in preference to doing the easy, boring, daily stuff that actually makes a difference.

You're so busy signing petitions on Avaaz that you forgot your mum's birthday. That's moral procrastination.

impaling the morals of a minor

A pun on the crime of "impairing the morals of a minor" that defines the much more serious crime of statutory rape.

That mofo was impaling the morals of a minor when he fucked my 16-year-old sister.

The dukes of moral hazard

The term 'dukes of moral hazard' describes any leaders of organisations who are ultimately sheltered from their risk-taking by being given support from a lender of last resort when everything goes completely wrong.

It may or may not become a TV show satirising contemporary finance where people get into cars through the window as they did in "The Dukes of Hazzard".

Did you see the Dukes of Moral Hazard last night? They bailed into their cars through the windows again!
