Many times, anger is not naturally generated, but deliberately designed. Because in the competition for attention, the dissemination of truthful, complete, and complex information is very inefficient, while simplified, confrontational, and emotionally provocative information spreads very effectively. Therefore, content creators constantly seek out the narrative frameworks that most easily evoke emotions: who the enemy is, who is hurting you, who should be condemned, who should be held responsible. Doing so doesn't necessarily require lying; selectively presenting facts is enough to produce vastly different emotional outcomes.
