It’s a symptom of how social media furthers the need to be perpetually outraged about everything!<\/p>\n

After posting about enjoying coffee in her garden with her husband, Daisy Beaton was torn to shreds on Twitter. It’s a symptom of how we’re all feeling these days.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What happened:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The need to be perpetually outraged<\/li>\n
  2. Social media consumers then inserted their own speculation into the story (must be rich, which is evil and wrong, or lazy or privileged).<\/li>\n
  3. At that point, the race was on to see who could be the most outraged!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In fact, they both have non-traditional hours jobs, giving them free time in the mornings.<\/p>\n

    This is also an example of how the media pile on to pointless stories like this, furthering the perpetual culture of outrage. Let’s all go be angry at whatever today! Today’s a great day to be outraged!!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
