Why do you say we are flawed beings? just because we are capable of error?
I wrote an article about what you refer to as "the culture of me" that I called "A nation of attention seekers" that may be of interest.

Interesting thoguhts though. And to your points of if we may be putting a too high focus on idols and use of social media so that it becomes destructive i whould say yes we do. But hrer eis reasons for it ;)

In terms of the concept f heroes, that is in movies and TV series, Jordan petersen ahve an interesting take on it to show how it speaks to what we see as our ideals. This, however becomes somethings else in social media, as then its mroe of a group vs. group, where an idol or ideology is attacked only by the other group. Something that is an issue of what is termed; devide and conquer effect.

One reason for the outrage is an enhanced form of our own bad sides reflected back to us that we dont want to admit. So once we are made aware of it in others we rage against it. Or this is how I see it, but ofc there is other aspects that takes part in why, aswell.

Question is in the end; What is the best things to be done to potentially fix issues like this in our society.
1 is as you do here, pointing it out so that we can be aware of it. :)
