outrage culture has really empowered a lot of people, I wonder if Marx would have had the same thoughts if he caught a glimpse of what the will of the people really brings. The truth is people are more than willing to lie and give up on their principles by feigning outrage if it hurts "the other side". The current anti-pc counter culture being tied to a lot of xenophobic and other shitty ideals sucks too, otherwise i'd be happy to throw my lot in with them.

I think though in general it's a parabola, right now outrage culture is producing a LOT of notable results (Lauer, Weinstein, etc). But that in my estimation is only due to the existing over-bloated institutions. Mainstream media is dying, so if you kick it it will die faster, that's all we're seeing. ESPN is the same, the NFL isn't dying due to kneeling it's been dying for a decade due to streaming. Viewership is still massive even if the ratings have slipped. I think once the dust settles and a counterculture figure other than Trump emerges the paradigm will swing back a bit. The outrage culture will still exist it just wont be as impactful.

That uninformed, lying post was surely not expected from you.

there's a part of me that agrees with you - though it's the same part that would snipe people from a clock tower for leaving shopping carts in the parking spot of a parking lot of a walmart

best thing ever is people who leave perishable foods in grocery stores on dry shelves or better yet stuff it behind shit

They'd deserve it.
