Aquinas wrote for a pre-modern community in which anybody in might with human effort right wrongs that came to his attention. In the modern world, though, we constantly learn of injustices grave and slight the world over, yet have no practical ability to rectify the overwhelming majority of them. In consequence, the most righteous men are incapacitated, both from rage-overload and, even more sinister, from behavioral entrainment that righteous anger is futile since it won't yield to practical action. We are left with a world where "[t]he best lack all conviction, while the worst, [a]re full of passionate intensity."
With that clarification in mind, I again pose my question: How does being constantly angry help with justice?

Peasants were embedded in a community where everybody knew eachother. They could go to local leaders, including in the church, for help. Do you really read the Aquinas quote as implying the people of his time should be ceaselessly Yosemite Sam MAF about their role on the manor, despite futility?
— anger is useful insofar as it concentrates the mind and urges the body for effective action. When no action is possible it is self-defeating, like a group of muscles flexed too tight to apply force.
Again, what's the point of being endlessly MAF?
