I think self-righteousness is often a defense against the experience of
powerlessness and is used to achieve interpersonal superiority, from a
true position of deeper inferiority. Tyranny feeds on dissatisfaction as
the goal of superiority is never achieved nor accepted by others. There
are two solutions to tyrannical behavior: self-respect and courage. But
I'm not an "expert" at this.
