SHARING OUTRAGE?
I'm not outraged by the stuff that's meant to outrage us.
I think it's exactly the kind of thing I expected from bigots to say and think. It's more of a problem that they have such an enormous way of broadcasting their ideas. I keep wondering that the fact that we think about, share, and express outrage over their idiotic opinions may do the opposite of what we would like to have happen.
Every time we engage with a bigots ideas in print, and social media, the ideas get rebroadcasted and restated. Sociologists suggest that it reinforces and normalizes their ideas every time we re-engage and restate outrages, bigoted, and fascist ideology.
I'd rather look at pictures of your family and pets.
