I think it's better described as self-righteousness — a dangerous current in modern right-wing politics that has its roots in the rise of the Moral Majority, which aimed to make politics a choice between good values (the right's) and bad values (the left's) rather than a competition of ideas.

Suffice it to say that the Resistance is so frantically busy refuting Trump tweets — this being the activity that consumes 225 percent of the Resistance's time and mental energy — that toward the end of the month prominent Democrats find themselves reflexively defending the integrity and moral righteousness of Al Sharpton.

Only this delusion can explain the remarkable confidence, the blasé self-righteousness, of 30 liberal economists claiming that the ACA simply "requires people to buy health insurance when they can afford to do so"—because the law's determination of who could afford to do so was undoubtedly right—too correct to double check.

As eight years of Obama have worn on, and especially as Republican opposition to his agenda has ended up curtailing some of his ambition, progressive pop culture has grown more and more fascinated by its own inability to convince the country of its own righteous cause (though rarely skeptical of said cause's righteousness).

Grant's world is, in certain respects, painfully familiar, peopled by such figures as the military man whose managerial skill is assumed to indicate integrity; the tycoon who is assumed to have none; and a press that is engaged in bouts of unfocussed self-righteousness, damaging the well-meaning and the malevolent alike.

On more days than I'd like to admit, I find myself walking down the street in an all-too-certain righteous rage about other people's righteousness; I'll read an essay or story with horrified suspense as it delivers some sermon on a mount, but then I myself indulge in assured despising — that's a sin, too.

That's the language and tactics of goons, designed to chill, silence, and frighten, and intended to get out of hand, where someone does get hurt — because that is what happens when mobs feed on their own righteousness, or when the demonization and dehumanization inspires someone to become a one man angel of vengeance — think Rep.

Convinced of their own righteousness, the skeptics are conflating embarrassing cable news talking heads, a handful of discredited stories, and the speculative fantasy that Trump was a Russian asset with the entire field of journalism—while leaving out a lot of relevant information that proves that the Russia story is anything but a hoax.

Here, in the recording that propelled his Mozart cycle forward, he gets crucial assistance from a fearless performance by the soprano Véronique Gens, who captures both the righteousness and the vulnerability of Fiordiligi, a woman who is — for the moment, at least — proud to be standing by her man in the face of seduction.
|

But I can also believe that the obvious pleasure to be found in demonizing the Republican most likely to do outreach could deliver liberalism more of what it has already been earning for itself these last few years: the satisfaction of self-righteousness as a compensation for the absence of political or policy success.

He split with his record label, albums were released under other names, all that twisted righteousness forsaken so Prince could approximate being less a freak and more a man in the eyes of those white men he disparaged but must have admired for what they had that so few colored boys ever have: power.

Tutu and I often disagreed about the moral righteousness of the US, particularly because my mom was an activist and scholar deeply involved in organizing against interventions into Central America in the 1970s and 1980s -- actions that helped produce the instability and gang violence that has provoked mass migration and crisis conditions visible today.

Prepare for a cataract of derision and self-righteousness should you dare pen anything perceived as too left or too right, as too pious or too profane, as possibly ageist or racist, sexist or classist, each "ist" word shot like a silver bullet intended first to take you down and then to wake you from your own beastliness.

Poitras' new documentary, "Risk" — following up on her Oscar-winning "CitizenFour," on Edward Snowden — provides perhaps the most unvarnished, intimate look into the persistence, smarts, self-righteousness, and misogyny of the man who, despite being holed up in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London for nearly five years, has earned the ire of the most powerful governments on Earth.

The logic of populism is further distorted by a growing sense of dispossession on the right, as nativists worry that their country is being taken over by immigrants and cosmopolitan elites, and a growing sense of righteousness on the left, as the pure of heart discover ever more signs of impurity in the population at large.

So allow me an experiment, the sort of indulgence that should never be allowed but which I am begging you, humble reader, to allow me: a visit from the Ghosts of One, Three, and Five Stars, who will attempt to persuade me of the righteousness of their rating as it should pertain to The Man Who Invented Christmas.

Throughout the many and various scandals that have dogged global soccer in recent years, the F.A. has cast itself as a beacon of righteousness in an otherwise dirty game: It refused in 2010, for example, to bid for World Cup tournaments it would not win anyway until Sepp Blatter and his cronies were ousted in Zurich.

The event on Monday night was a hoot, and it was a relief for me to find that there are other people out there who still have a sense of humor, do not want to impose their version of righteousness on others, and have some feeling for a 'free country' as something more palpable than an empty slogan.

According to the scholarly article "Thy righteousness is but a menstrual clout: sanitary practices and prejudice in early modern England," in the 17th century women with more money and heavier periods wore cut-up rags or "clouts" to soak up their flow, prostitutes probably used sponges, and—surprise—the majority of women likely used nothing at all.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei stated, "The Saudi government is obliged to accept its heavy responsibility in this bitter incident and meet its obligations in compliance with the rule of righteousness and fairness; mismanagement and improper measures that were behind this tragedy should not be undermined," and declared three days of mourning for the victims of the stampede.

But some of Search Party's sharpest, most pointed material certainly takes aim at some specific millennial tropes, like sacrificing personal integrity in the name of #brand building (see: Elliott and Chantal's pathological lying), and unearned self-righteousness (see: Drew's hypocritical high horse, Dory insisting that her constant quests for meaning come from just being a good person, dammit).

CNBC also reached out to Benchmark for comment: Let us take this pause in this moment, when we find ourselves swimming in the crucible of one of the grandest business and moral battles of our generation, and find strength in each stroke of our proverbial digital pens, that we wrote with the indelible, eternal and permanent ink of righteousness.

Paradoxically gruff and tender, starkly Darwinian in scientific exactitude yet brimming with mystical flourishes, Abbey's enlivening nonfiction storytelling — anchored around his two compressed seasons as a ranger in Utah's Arches National Monument during the late Eisenhower era — is a perfectly rendered hybrid of transcendental joy, coyote humor, in-your-face wrath, field science detail, philosophical righteousness, and moral clarity.

Sanders, by the same token, is promising that if he becomes president, he will let Americans enjoy feelings of peacefulness and moral righteousness, as well as a reprieve from feelings of shame that US military interventions inspire in some Americans, without any of the messy compromises that come with getting involved or not involved in Middle Eastern conflicts.

Where Varga didn't seem to exist because he'd gamed the system to hide his true identity, Gloria didn't seem to exist (and, indeed, she couldn't get automatic doors or soap dispensers to respond to her and didn't turn up in online search results) because she still believed in a kind of righteousness the world doesn't have as much room for these days.

If you are in need of a respite from the usual displays of smart-alecky irony, material excess, and the latest round of self-righteousness, you might want to make your way to the exhibition, Yun Hyong-keun at David Zwirner (January 17– March 7, 2020), which takes up three gallery spaces of the second floor of his 20th Street outpost.

And then there were the responses to the responses, like this one from Medium blogger Emey, who warned against self-righteousness in his own "self-righteous open letter to people who write self-righteous open letters to people who write self-righteous open letters": If your experiences took place more than a few years ago, they are not useful to recount.

Even in my excitement I admired the neatness of it, the buttons perfectly aligned, so that I thought for the first time in many years of my father dressing me as a boy, teaching me about this line, the gig line, he called it, buttons and buckle forming an order that was more than vanity, that signalled some deeper righteousness.

"He invited that aggression," an Indian anthropology professor told the AP. That so few have raised ethical concerns about Chau's death makes this an extreme case, as if it lies outside any semblance of international law, in some space where only a blunt righteousness prevails—and it is this very quality, perhaps, that makes the story so compelling to audiences around the world.

It's getting harder and harder to talk about anything controversial online without every single utterance of an opinion immediately being caricatured by opportunistic outrage-mongers, at which point everyone, afraid to be caught exposed in the skirmish that's about to break out, rushes for the safety of their ideological battlements, where they can safely scream out their righteousness in unison.

Really important to me that I avoid the danger — which I think all humans have, but I know I have — of falling in love with my own view of things, my own righteousness, and so I really think it was a prelude, and maybe unconsciously but not explicitly or consciously, a reaction to some of the criticism, if that makes sense.

And while the Trump fans who were in attendance clearly saw their president as fighting on the side of righteousness, the nearly 23 million people who voted for Democrats in last year's midterm elections (not to mention the international community) have good reason to wonder what's really going on in a country where such a speech is delivered behind the presidential seal.

Today more than ever, history can be a guide, so that we lessen our risk of being "sleepwalkers," to quote the title of Christopher Clark's study of the political elites who brought about the war: individuals so entrenched in their positions and sure of their own righteousness that they did not see what was coming until it was too late.

Most celebrity book clubs eventually weather such a scandal: when Oprah's Book Club author James Frey was revealed to have lied in his memoir A Million Little Pieces, Oprah brought him onto her show and made him apologize to her audience for deceiving them, a moment that became emblematic of Oprah's moral righteousness and insistence that people should be able to trust her.

At some point, when the art world is done with its current display of righteousness, I imagine that a famous and filthy-rich art world personage who is accused of sexual harassment will hire a kickass lawyer who will make it so risky, so costly and so humiliating to challenge him that he will effectively put an end to the hollering.
