#Outrage

It's outrageous to increase fares during a cost of living and climate crisis. We should be reducing fares and making public transport free not making it unaffordable. Yet another reason to be on the streets with the Affordable Ireland Campaign on Saturday 19 October. https://t.co/Km2gI9uWtT #AffordableTransport #CostOfLiving #ClimateCrisis #IE

The Psychology of the Modern Leftist Once you understand the psychology of the modern leftist, the last decade of the woke revolution makes more sense. The endless outrage, hypersensitivity, and rejection of rational debate may reflect something deeper than ideology: a crisis of self-worth expressed as a moral crusade. “Leftist” is a broad term, but here it refers to socialists, collectivists, LGBTQ activists, and similar movements. What unites them may be more than politics; it may also be a psychological orientation. Modern leftism can be associated with feelings of inferiority, low self-esteem, powerlessness, guilt, self-hatred, and resentment. These feelings may be repressed while still influencing behavior. The hypersensitivity to language illustrates this. Words once used without negative intent can become symbols of oppression through activist campaigns. Ironically, those most offended are sometimes privileged academics rather than the minorities they claim to defend. Many leftists identify with groups perceived as weak or disadvantaged. This may reflect genuine compassion, but it can also involve projecting personal feelings of weakness onto others. Strength, success, competition, and rationality can consequently become objects of suspicion. Western civilization, America, and other symbols of power may be treated similarly. The criticism can also be inconsistent. Flaws condemned in Western societies may be excused when found in socialist regimes or traditional cultures. This suggests that resentment may sometimes play a role alongside genuine moral concerns. Self-reliance, personal responsibility, and merit are often viewed skeptically, while collectivism is favored. Objective truth can also become threatening because it creates distinctions: some arguments are better than others, and some people succeed while others fail. When equality of outcome becomes the moral standard, truth, merit, and individualism may be attacked—not necessarily to uplift the oppressed, but to reduce psychological discomfort. When victimhood becomes central to identity, problems may no longer simply be discovered; they can become necessary to sustain that identity.

Soutien total à @sebastiendelogu face à cette nouvelle cabale médiatique et politique. Dans quel pays des accusations d’outrage aucunement étayées conduisent-elles un député de la Nation à passer 8 heures en garde-à-vue alors qu’il s’est présenté librement à la convocation des policiers ? En 2027, nous refonderons une police républicaine. #Soutien #Justice #Politique

An altercation between the rebellious deputy Sébastien Delogu and police officers in Marseille, during which Delogu challenges the identifiability of the agents, led to mutual complaints of contempt and intentional violence, despite surveillance footage showing plainclothes police officers brandishing an identifying armband. (translated)

INFO BFMTV. Altercation entre Sébastien Delogu et des policiers: l'élu affirme que les agents n'étaient pas identifiables, que montrent les images de vidéosurveillance?

Ce qu’on voit sur les images, ce sont 3 flics voyous qui l’ont attendu devant chez lui pour s’engouffrer derrière lui, l’ont insulté et agressé et ont ensuite inventé un voleur et un outrage imaginaires Faut vraiment être con pour soutenir ça https://t.co/pcdCz5ityy #Justice #Police #Violence

Résumons : des policiers voyous ont agressé un élu et maintenant ils se conforment aux usages de la profession en mentant pour l’accuser d’outrage. https://t.co/OIe4VZahSf #Police #Justice #Éthique

Old reflexes are hard to shake off in 21st century China: Artist Gao Zhen was sentenced to 3 years in prison for "outrage against Chinese heroes" for works predating the law. Don't touch Mao! My geopolitical column from 7/10 @franceinter (translated)

🔴🇫🇷 𝗦𝗨𝗜𝗩𝗜 — Sébastien Delogu, visé par une plainte pour « outrage », aurait empêché des policiers d’entrer dans un immeuble où ils intervenaient pour interpeller le suspect d’un vol de montre de luxe. Le député LFI aurait ensuite tenu des propos outrageants avant de déclarer : « La République, c’est moi ! » (Source : BFMTV) #France #Politique #Justice

🇫🇷 FLASH | Le député LFI Sébastien Delogu est visé par une plainte déposée par des policiers pour "outrage". Il va également porter plainte. (BFMTV) https://t.co/6RtfsFH3G1 #Politique #Justice #France

I call on the Minister of Justice to address this shocking case❗️ A father destroys a daughter's life and gets probation? Shocking! How will state authorities ensure the girl's basic needs when her parents are clearly unable to do so? Unfortunately, we are witnessing a negative trend where it is increasing. (translated)

thanks to the #WikiLeaks' cables, I've spent years to investigate and expose how my country-#Italy- has been transformed into the launching pad of US wars, from #theIraqWar to #theIranWar: the cover-up is outrageous [archive] https://t.co/OsKEBbxnDq #WikiLeaks #IraqWar #IranWar #IT #US #IQ #IR

🚨🚨 LA PREMIER LEAGUE 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ÉCRASE L'ÉCONOMIE DU FOOT !!! 🥵⚽️ Les "Big 5" européens pèsent 32 MILLIARDS €, mais l'Angleterre domine outrageusement en représentant près de 40% de cette valorisation totale (12,5 Md€). Alors que la Ligue 1 et la Serie A souffrent avec la baisse des droits TV, les clubs anglais dictent leur loi sur le mercato. Seuls les mastodontes (Real Madrid, Barça, Bayern, PSG) résistent grâce à l'explosion de leurs revenus commerciaux et la modernisation de leurs stades.

Imagine the outrage if those scumbags that drove the car down the road the wrong way were brown? Sometimes we might do well to look at some of our own groups and their behaviour in society too. No one allowed say it though. #Outrage #Society #Accountability

Widespread outrage continues as both the UN Secretary General and several Member States turn a blind eye to Hamas terrorists embedded within—and effectively shielded by—UNRWA. Even after October 7th, the United Nations failed to take immediate, decisive action. We recall https://t.co/GlOxznTIXx #UNFailing #Hamas #UNRWA #IL #PS

I agree with Alan Shatter’s position on this. 💯% These attacks on Palestinians are an outrage and need to stop. Among other things, they are destroying Israel’s international standing, even in the USA. 👇 #Palestine #Israel #HumanRights #IL #US
