How do reactionaries stay happy while consuming hate-slop 24/7? (hexbear.net)

Seriously, I found my sister (who's nearly 30) watching a silly video about "feminists doing men's work", basically just a hate compilation of tiktoks and a chud yelling at the camera about evil leftists and stuff like that.

How the fuck do you stay happy watching this slop? It's just constant hateful bullshit, I'm surprised we don't see more terrorism from this stuff being consumed by millions of people everyday.

if not worse since they harm others aside from harming themselves

I think it's worse than bottling because it doesn't resolve or even healthily manage the hurt inside and it pollutes everyone else within range. It's the second-hand smoking of emotional coping. That, and I'm just really fucking tired of "ironic" assholery and performative apathy.
