Righteousness begets violence. That is its purpose as an emotion, that is why it was selectively advantageous. People need to be sane and civil to form stable societies, but they also need to have a destructive, bloodthirsty mode. That is what righteousness is.

No need for a neologism like "hypermoralism", unless one wants to pose.
I even say it in French in my head while writing it.
