I don’t know what motivates people besides pettiness and resentment

I think this is basically wrong. If you know what motivates you, you will generally find other media to express yourself, not blogging. Like Twitter. Blogging tends to clarify very illegible motives into less illegible ones.

By "blogging" I mean specifically something like the meaningness project, your "gonzo density", manifesto-building etc.

Yeah, chip-on-shoulder is not very workable for that. It can power things like standup, music, entrepreneurship, polemic, journalism, etc. Taleb is a rare longform resentment/spite guy.

Entrepreneurship/polemic/journalism is roughly the exact combo I'm going for. Good disentanglement.

Except in the rare cases of actual Count of Monte Cristo style actual revenge against people who provoked the resentment/spite, the emotion is generally an instant-gratification one, like scratching an itch, not an anticipation-based one in striatum circuitry

We should deconstruct "resentment". I mean something like "desire to fight", which seems heart of all writing/shakering.

That seems too broad. I tend to associate it with a particular pattern: individual narcissistic injury --> group identity grievance. A kind of toxic sublimation. One woman rejects you, you redpill and join community of anti woman resentment type of pattern.
