Ultimately, I think the reason folks with privilege and underdeveloped empathy insist on a captive audience is because their egos need a foil.
There is no value in saying transgressive things if there’s no one triggered by it.
The point is to offend and provoke a reaction. That’s it. It’s not complicated.
Reactionaries get bored with themselves.
They need someone to “react” to their crude, self-destructive, nihilistic ways.
