Indignation Junkie is a term coined by David [Brin] in his novel Existence. It refers to the gratification people feel when they are emotionally aroused by their own act of expressing outrage, frequently on a moral or [social injustice] issue. This actually causes their brains to release endorphins/dopamine, which cause a form of euphoria and further arousal. They actually get high from their own [indignant] rants.
