Manufactured outrage

One of my new least favorite (funny that “least favorite” means “most hate”) phrases is “Manufactured outrage” which tends, when used, to be drenched in different kinds of privilege. If ya don’t understand why someone’s upset, why not take it as an opportunity to educate yourself, instead of dismissing someone’s right to be upset, just because YOU are not upset. Nobody needs anybody else’s permission to be offended, hurt, or upset by something. If ya really can’t get outside of your own self for even that long, think of it as an empathy exercise intended to make you a better person, so that it’s about you again.
