    It’s pure do-gooder derogation.

    Materially, we have set up a system where being right is what gets you punished, and people will hate you for doing something they agree with deep down. Because of the implications it makes about them. In the words of David Graeber, who calls the phenomenon ‘Moral Envy’, they’re saying “How dare you act as if you are morally superior to me (although I do agree that your actions are morally superior to my own.)”
