Why I will miss today’s outrage culture

Published: Sun, 10/04/20

I’m going to miss it when the current “outrage culture” we live in goes away after the reality of being in the worst depression in US history kicks in... and people go back into survival mode instead of today’s current weak “what can I be offended by on someone else’s behalf today?” mode.

Case in point:

A couple months ago I wrote an email mentioning my woman's multiple businesses.

To which a gloriously overachieving feminist retorted with:

===

"My woman"?

Yikes. Unsubscribe.

===

Of course, I showed it to Stefania as I graciously allowed her to hand feed me grapes.

Her reply?

“I love that you’re describing me as a multiple business owner but she’s still offended. Yikes.”

Here’s another beauty in one of my Villains book reviews:

“I recommend this book to any patriarchal old timers. The frequency and way that Settle speaks of women is pretty telling of his character. You can be a "villian" without speaking of and viewing women in this manner. I have a pretty good idea what kind of women are flocking to him.”

I must hand it to this amazing white knight:

In just 52 words he managed to insult a horde of women readers who love those books, and even gift it to men (nephews, sons, friends, even boyfriends & husbands...) in their lives.

The irony writes itself.

Yes indeed I shalt miss all this outrage on behalf of others who didn't ask for it.

Until then?

I’ll keep writing periodic emails mocking it. Doing so curates out those I don’t want on my list and also gives me something to write about nobody else in my immediate market/niche is, as they prattle on about giving lots of free "VALUE!" without realizing that not only ain't selling, but is one of the weaker ways to bond with a list or build a long-term relationship with leads.

I doubt this adds to your life at all.

But, who knows?

Maybe someone is getting behind on their angry pushups or Facebook marketing group Virtue Signaling and needed to hear it.

For everyone else?
