outrage inflation


the reduction in the meaningfulness and relevance of individual controversies as they are swallowed in a sea of other concurrent controversies and outrage. comparable to economic inflation.

a symptom of the internet age and the neverending cycle of overreaction, bitterness and hostility. it is not necessarily entirely a reflection of the proliferation of controversy over minor events, given that the news is also filled with many shocking events of great magnitude. the fact that it is easy to forget what mind-numbingly stupid thing donald trump said two weeks ago is also a symptom of outrage inflation.
we’ll all soon forget that time trump nearly declared war by mistake thanks to outrage inflation and the 24-hour news cycle.
