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.

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

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.
