People through history have always had an outraged culture, it is just that the goalposts of that outrage move, and occasionally rear up en-madd like a tidal wave over what for many is innocuous unless edge-case contextualized - which is often the case in outrage cultures. There was a time in which people would be outraged at other people not wearing a hat, times change, yet the ability to be upset and project that upon others soldiers on regardless. Just today's outrage culture has a more accessible platform to artificially embellish their outrage and societies ability to see 1% vocaly upset with outrage and presume the other 99% agree is a path that sadly still plays out from time to time. But let's not confuse outraged issues with real issues that don't need to be blown up out of proportions to gain attention. That is the worrying issue today, that so many times a small event gets recontextualized to fulfil a narrative of outrage and promoted as such. Downing out real issues that fester without vocal champions.
