I think the basis of his arguement is a prig is incentivized by calling out the moral failures of others to make themselves feel more virtuous.

Where perhaps the quakers or MLK were doing it out of moral outrage.

Isn't it impossible to determine the internal motivations of others? And even if they were doing it to make themselves feel more virtuous they can still be turn out to be right on the issue, can't they? Or it's possible that there's a combination of both moral outrage and ending up feeling virtuous.

As pointed out by Uncle oxidant, this is hard to determine.

I would suggest instead that a prig deems a person to be bad/evil based on them having a different view/behavior that society is generally divided on.

Conservatives will readily confound moral outrage with virtue signaling in order to neutralize it.
