I think Facebook has some responsibility because they're such a large platform. The problem is constant positive reinforcement of everything, even things that are unacceptable. Part of the reason those people grow up "wrong" is because they're growing up on social media where the feedback they get is unnaturally skewed to agreed with them.
I don't think it's intentional, but I think it's going to be impossible for Facebook to solve with watered down feedback like the "empathy" button. They need a way for people to express disagreement, but it's going to be difficult to do that without reducing engagement, so it probably won't happen.
