'''Cruel Ragebait''' is a layered form of incendiary behavior that is practiced by people who have hierarchical power over a population who is harmed by their actions. Essentially, it is when someone or a group of people is acting in a way that causes real harm to or violates the rights of others, and they do so while creating a (usually) hyperbolic, pseudo-parody representation of their actions, typically in the form of trolling/ragebait, jokes, memes, or quips. Cruel Ragebait is meant to be enjoyed by those that hold the power, as well as by people who support their actions and are "in" on the "joke" and understand the cruel ragebait intention.
