Hi
Could you please help me to get the underlined part?
The title of the text is 'Names that live in infamy; killers want notoriety. Let's not give it to them'.
Conditions are ripe for more of this. Not only has fame itself been made sacred but films and novels feed a culture of resentment by extolling the image of romantic loners battling vile institutions. When exaggerated, it becomes one of the most toxic of all modern cliches- preaching contempt for all institutions.
1. Does it refer to resentment?
2. Could you help me with the meaning of the bold words? and also the meaning of the whole underlined part?
Thanks a lot.
