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".

Fake Outrage

Fake outrage, usually generated as a way of trying to create a controversy for the purpose of political smearing. Often used as a weapon of both left and right-wing tards who may or may not use threats to achieve their goals. Usually involves but is not limited to emotional appeals involving issues such as gay rights issues, racism, religion, etc.

These individuals can be easily identified by refusing to engage in logical debate on said issues, because they either are incapable of doing so or they are purposely doing it to 'stir the pot.' Instead, they regurgitate talking points in an attempt to appear educated on a topic when they really aren't.

everybody's hating on Obama again...so much fake outrage

Outrage Mob

(out-reyj mob) n. A group of people that have banded together in a common goal. It is made up of individuals, whom blame their problems of failure on others. They have no personal responsibility for their short comings, and over compensate by blaming others. They attack what ever is going to provide the maximum amount of virtue signaling.

The outrage mob came for the Washington Redskins, because it offended white people on American Indianโ€™s behalf.

mock outrage

A faked display of righteous or resentful anger mixed with a small amount of actual anger caused by embarrassment, for example when somebody says what everybody is thinking. Standard modus operandi in early 21st Century American politics, very commonly seen on political blogs.

A comment by a upper-middle class mother of a potential Army recruit that "the army is not for our people" caused a lot of mock outrage on liberal weblogs.
