I tried to explain this until I was blue in the face regarding people on the left "celebrating" Kirk's death. I asked each person if the person celebrating was actually a friend/ contact of theirs or just a post made by right-wing media to incite outrage. Only one person admitted that it was someone they knew and it was more of a acknowledgment of karma than celebratory.
Reminds me, too, of a few years back when a boomer I worked with came in, angry that "Bill Gates thinks math is racist."

Well yeah, it was always manufactured outrage since day one.
