A Brief History Of Outrage (Season 7 Episode 4)
from History's Greatest Idiots · host History's Greatest Idiots
Your outrage is worth a fortune. Just not to you.From a 3,800-year-old complaint tablet in ancient Mesopotamia to cancel culture, Tommy Robinson and Donald Trump, this is the full history of outrage: who manufactures it, who profits from it, and who is laughing all the way to the bank.We cover Roman emperors, the medieval pillory, the tabloid press, Jon Ronson's "So You've Been Publicly Shamed," the small boats panic (with the actual statistics), and why the richest 1% own more wealth than the bottom 95% of humanity, partly because they're very good at keeping you looking the other way.https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiotshttps://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiotshttps://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiotsArtist: Sarah Cheyhttps://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey
