I decided to google "culture of outrage" and see what I found. I actually found more than I bargained for. It's Time for an Outrage Armistice on Slate went past the outrage itself and hit most of the political landmarks. I think all the things it said were correct. I feel like the only shortcoming was what it didn't say. It described Woke culture and listed racism as their main issue. I would say that the issue is bigger than just racism. It also has to do with sex and gender, as the #metoo movement illustrated.
But the point is, if we continue in outrage and tribalism, demonizing each other and talking past each other and never trying to listen, we are headed to a really bad place as a nation. Really. Bad.
