Cut Strings and The Theme of Righteous Anger
The theme of rightful anger being exploited for harmful ends is one I explore in my Star Wars story Cut Strings. I think it's a perrenially relevant topic, as I believe this dynamic to so often be involved when things go wrong in our real world. But I don't think there are actually any easy answers to this problem. If someone never gets very worked up about anything, chances are they will do nothing to stop injustice. But anger by its nature tends to close off more analytical thought, which can lead one to actions that do the very opposite of what they are intended to.
