Sure, some people make a career out of it. Radio hosts (now mostly moving online). But they're the "safe outlet" for people to listen to who do not get to express anger themselves because of punishment. The last 3 or 4 years we've even seen the creation of new slang to punish angry people ("Karens"). Police are ever more ready to truly, in the proper sense of the word, punish those who are doing little more than just being angry. I would think that if we could easily quantify anger, then measure protests over the years, we'd discover that as time goes on they get less angry. Hell, some of them today seem almost depressed and despondent. Maybe punishing anger is a good thing. But we shouldn't pretend we're not doing it.
