Social media outrage is too hard

I hear that Twitter and Tumblr are very outrageous. I don’t find them so. I guess it is because I am too lazy. But other people are lazy too, so I’m not sure what they are doing differently.

I think this (anonymized) tweet, from the top of my Twitter feed today, illustrates pretty well:

Alice this RT is an endorsement

>Bob: I oppose @Mmovement and despise @Carrie, but this is absolutely outrageous. If @Dianne doesn’t want to defend @Eloise, she could write a column against anti-M laws. (Link to further tweet)

So, Alice is in favor of Bob, who is opposed to someone who supports movement M, and also to Carrie, but also to David’s behavior. The ‘but’ implies that David is probably also opposed to movement M and to Carrie. Dianne is at least somewhat opposed to Eloise. Alice is not opposed to Dianne’s opposition, but is opposed to Dianne not writing in public that she is opposed to laws that are opposed to M, under the circumstances of her opposition to Eloise. Which is apparently detailed further somewhere else.

I really can’t follow this. I don’t feel anything about it, because I would need to draw one of those logic puzzle diagrams to work out what is going on. And even if I figured out the web of oppositions, it seems like I would need to know most acquaintances of most acquaintances of most friends I follow on Twitter for the names to mean anything. And even if I cared about the people, I would apparently have to go and read something somewhere else to learn what the object level situation was. The only clue I have that something outrageous is going on is that it says ‘absolutely outrageous’ in it, which isn’t really enough to rile me up. In order to become enraged, I would need to do so much work. So I just skim over it, and feel like Twitter is a pretty colorless place. 

What am I doing wrong?
