      The bait points to this:

      I believe part of the answer lies in a fundamental aspect of our humanity: the urge to destroy that from which you feel excluded.

        thanks for posting. I have learned to deal with clickbait like this: if the title presents a provocative question that could be answered in the title but instead requires clicking to get a simple answer, it’s clickbait. they don’t get my clicks.

        “ONE SIMPLE TRUTH ABOUT HUMANITY!”

        we don’t like being excluded. okay cool gotcha.

        I didn’t say the posting of the title was clickbait, I said the title was click-bait.

              It’s exactly the same title as they’d use in a printed copy. A click bait headline would be “You won’t believe what right-wing populists are doing”.

                A click bait headline would also be “Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature”.
