Good point, but I would emend to say a large part, that part desperately
proclaiming significance in a high, empty shriek.

All the best,

Jeff Myers suggests that

>Surely a significant part of our contemporary culture is based largely on
>"moral indignation."

It strikes me that a much larger part of our culture is based on
self-righteousness.  It may look rather similar to moral indignation,
but is based much more on a sense of one's own worthiness than on
concern for another.
