What is moral high ground?

The authoritative assumption of state-brains even when they are nonsensical, look stupid, and are making a public mockery of themselves. These usually start with statements affirming their own moral virtues on issues like racism, sexism etc. Values that when so forefront in your mind that they are brought up without being asked during substantive policy debate, imply that you actually struggle with these issues yourself. They will mistake those who try to inform them of how it's coming across (for their own good) to stop the public embarrassment as attacks from political opposition inherently political in nature. This allows the display to go on for large amounts of time unchecked and further display of their own ignorance through blatant assumptions and dismissals of criticism. These events are a phenomena in western societies recently as policies in academia have drifted from merit based to identity based thinking. In scenarios where a Leader-of-State is the victim, there is virtually no telling how long it will go on and often is never explained or discussed once it is found out.

Once Justin Trudeau (Canadas Prime Minister) defended a state-backed media organizations claim that it wasn't state funded after Twitter placed a new badge on their profile. Completely lacking the self awareness of what giving a publicized statement in response would obviously look like. His Morally-Superior High Ground Syndrome allowed this and the enshrined culture allowed it past everyone. Not just him.

Another ex: Younger women will often make it a point to their possible spouses that they are independent and dont need help. This is done based on a prejudice against men and being so confident in the assumption that they want to control you, think it is a reasonable thing to blurt out when two adults are on a date for the first time. Men have noted this and have also explained the oddness found in someone assuming anything else. This is an expectation of every adult human being, we didn't get the memo that this had to be stated on first dates.

Acting like you're so moral while shitting on someone else despite them not doing shit to you.

"Dominic typed in 'sigh' as he was doing a pointless circlejerk against some guy's pictures that he deliberately searched for for having colors that he himself normally didn't use, acting as if he had the Moral High Ground as he himself was in a pit."

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.

Moral high ground - what does it mean?

A place that most people take themselves to while talking about a situation where someone is subject to judgement based on their actions, to depict themselves as morally "right". People who take this ground are generally hypocrites with little understanding of why the person subject to judgement has committed said actions and they are everything what's wrong with the world.

Person 1: Oh he is 18 and dated someone of the age of 15. Pedophile!
Person 2: Women are attracted to men older than them. Sorry but it's true.
Person 1: (*Takes moral high ground*) No, he's immoral!! But I don't care if an 80 year old man marries someone of his daughter's age because it's okay and they are adults!
Person 2: Where's your morality now, bitch?
