Need to explore it more. In particular, does reframing mutate content from emotional to informational? What are the laws governing this? It seems like an exploitable feature.

I have to wonder whether emotional exhaustion can be directly applied when looking at a culture as a whole though, given that there are always new young hot-headed 20-year-olds to replace the burned-out 30-something activists that preceded them. Certainly society goes in cycles with regard to polarization and emotional thinking, but when looking at patterns over years or decades I expect that's much more due to demographics, economics and insecurity than one generation becoming worn out by the previous generation's passion.
