What triggers my emotions, specifically Systemic Anger?

Corruption

I can also feel the adrenaline punch when thinking about high impact actors (e.g. leaders and politicians) who cause harm: lying, cheating, stealing, hurting, or killing people. The magnitude of the harm and the responsibility of the actor to not do those things amplifies the effect.

These are the very people we trust to run our government and they violate that trust. I suspect they even have intent to harm – perhaps they see it as personal gain, or helping their cronies, but I see it as harm. I want them to stop being that way.

NT people often have exceptions or apply different rules based on social position – I have the opposite feeling. My Ethics apply to everyone, I mean everyone. Me, my friends, my family, the people in my city, the local leaders, the leaders of companies, the leaders of nations and religions, and even God Himself. In fact, the higher importance the position, the more responsibility these people have to do the right thing – Noblesse Oblige. The leaders of nations and religions have the greatest ability to harm the people the represent and command and thus should be held to the highest standards. Incompetence is no excuse – you should not hold such a position if you are unable to carry out your duty.

Anyway, I feel Anger or Disgust when thinking and talking about this, but understand that to me this is a label for the magnitude of the dislike.

Integrity

There is at least one thing that will trigger anger with a feeling of personal insult: if somebody questions my integrity.

I am fine if people call me out for hypocrisy, especially if I have been inconsistent. Even being called out for lying is fine if I have (hopefully unintentionally). Making mistakes and being accused doesn’t bother me – these are true.

If somebody questions my integrity and I believe the accusation is false I can get very angry in a way that feels somewhat distinct from normal anger. I can’t control what other people believe about me, but I will defend myself from this type of attack. Questioning my integrity is a Logic-Baseline Attack. Because my identity is a product of consistent propositional logic, a false accusation of dishonesty is an attempt to invalidate my entire cognitive output. The anger here is a Defense Protocol to protect the integrity of the system.
