There exist individuals that (sometimes openly) get gratification by seeing somebody "just take action" - even if it is bad action, damaging. They find it reassuring.
And there exist individuals that just love a "loud voice", again for emotional gratification (independently of the content). "Pornophony".
Clearly, education is failing in having this individuals overcome emotional instances towards lucidity.
And this disposition is a powerful base for populists.
