There's a subset of the population that thrives on drama, outrage, and offense.
They're always outraged at something, even if it's nothing major.
They like to pick at others so they dont have to face their own issues, I think
I call it an 'outrage culture', where we each vie to be more outraged than the last person.
So, if Person A is angry about Issue A, person B must demonstrate more outrage than Person A showed.
And so it goes...
I blame the proliferation of social media, echo chambers, and a new social world where we aren't always face-to-face when communicating.
Yeah, that is a social media tactic people seem to take. I guess it feeds something inside of them.
I remember once a few years ago I posted the simple statement on facebook stating, men are physically stronger than women. And the outrage by irrational emotional women was insane. People were so outraged they were sharing it and it went semi viral and a whole bunch of people were outraged over me stating a simple fact.
