The risk is in the rage
I believe that media figured out that outrage is as
addictive as highly spiced food. Both start out as a form of virtue
signaling. Eating Thai food confers a certain man-of-the-world aura
while outrage on behalf of others confers a certain nobility. Then it
becomes an addiction as we crave the rush and the peppers burn out the taste buds making
regular food seem tasteless.
And like highly peppered food, outrage is
rarely conducive to peaceful digestion.
