Political Rage

I direct your attention again to Scott Alexander's 2014 essay, The Toxoplasm of Rage, which I think explains a lot about modern political interactions. I have more than once called it the best essay of the 2000s thus far.

As regards his opening example, I developed a recipe called "PETA Pie" that is a meat pie made up of many different kinds of animals as a result of their Holocaust stunt. It starts with two squirrels, adds venison, wild turkey (the bird: reserve any of the drink for the cook) and bacon.
