It bothers me to an absurdely strong degree that random words are capitalized.

Not random. They are capitalizing words for emphasis, similarly to if they said it as big of me or hold grudges — using title case like that also makes it seem like it's a sort of monolithic idea worthy of a formal noun, like Always remember to Brush Your Teeth!

Even then...those are weird parts of the sentence to emphasize.

The way I read it, being the bigger person and holding grudges are ideas that are so ingrained in society that they treated them like proper nouns for emphasis. Which seems appropriate for a meme-y delivery format like a tweet. Sort of like Patriot Caps, but less haphazard and more self-aware.

Yeah, it's weird but not as weird when you notice that only the keywords have the first letters capitalized.
