  Don’t worry, there’s plenty of legitimate outrage to be had without manufacturing it…

      Why pay any attention to manufactured outrage? If there’s actual events to be outraged about, then we should talk about them instead of fictions. If there’s only manufactured events, then it isn’t an issue in the first place.

      This is different from hypotheticals too. A realistic hypothetical holds as much water as an actual event. If there’s a 1% chance of a catastrophic hypothetical, and it happens hundreds of times daily, that’s a big fucking deal.

      To put it another way, if there’s something to be legitimately outraged about, why bother with creating fictitious scenarios?
