After all, not only is there no right or wrong anyway, but these people don't even choose to act as they do.
So how can you justify being angry at the person who rapes, kills, steals, lies, cheats, is conservative, is religious, likes Trump, IS Trump, etc etc? Am I missing something?
I get angry when I find a worm in my apple, too. I don't require any elaborate justification. Anger is an appropriate response to pests doing what pests are going to do. Besides, it's not like I can help it, it just bubbles up. Isn't that how anger seems to work for you? Do you decide what to be, and what you are angry about?
