This begins in our youth. Participation trophies and catering to the emotions of children robs them of the coping mechanisms needed to overcome adversity and grief. It is no wonder we have such a suicide and mass shooting issue in recent generations.

Socially, the bar of offense will never be static. Something will always need to be changed and the outrage will be directed and manipulated politically, as it is, and the fabric of society will not be strengthened by outrage culture, which is never going to be quelled by catering to it. This is currently dividing our world into factions and entrenching views, and strengthening opposition to just views in ways organically unfathomable. All of this is one big manipulative shitshow preying on the emotionally weak and reactionary mobs who stand on internet soapboxes and stir up outrage to exalt themselves among their peers. This culture is a snake eating its own tail.

And close thread.
