And this is really at the root of the entire culture war.
It used to be 'hey, that person said something stupid', lol ok what an idiot, anyway moving on to what we were doing'
Now instead it's 'hey that person said something stupid, I need to share it to 5000 followers to show just how stupid they are and how virtuous I am for pointing out that it's stupid, hey hey hey people look look look I'm resisting the stupid look look there's a stupid person'.
What we have is a large group of people who can only be described as professional offence takers. They wake up in the morning, and go out of their way to look though twitter what to be outraged by. They proactively seek out conflict purely for the sake of virtue signalling.
And when these people engage so consistently, after a while you get people who just post shit just for the sake of getting that emotional response out of the other side.
