daniel s.@pkrugman it's a good article but I hate that you embrace the term "twitter refugee" because switching websites doesn't even remotely compare to the hell a refugee endures
Taylor Lawrie@selfagency @pkrugman There are thousands of people using the term Twitter Refugee every day. It sucks that you have good reason to feel triggered but your personal crusade won't change anything in how people use this term.
@ttlawrie one tweet = "personal crusade"
jesus christ you fucking clowns are fragile
Kayo@selfagency @ttlawrie Actually you’re the fragile one attacking everyone trying to have a civil discourse with you. Words are borrowed every day and juxtaposed with other words, that doesn’t diminish the importance or cruelty of that word. People just seem to look for something to offend them.
@selfagency @ttlawrie I agree with you on that point. Sometimes let’s just take a breath and chill for our own mental health.
@selfagency @ttlawrie Absolutely right. Sadly that’s the world we live in now. Have you seen legions of people, mostly poor who fastidiously defends inhuman billionaires?
@selfagency Actually I was responding to you telling the first responder to shut the fuck up. However , I take your point. On reflection "upset" would gave been a better choice of word over "triggered". It may take a bit of time for me to come down from Twitter
@ttlawrie i'm pre-loaded against reply guys who tell minorities they're unjustly policing the rich and powerful
@selfagency fair enough but we don't attack millionaires just because they are millionaires. They need to be caught doing something wrong first. Like it or not Twitter Refugee is firmly in the lexicon at this point
@ttlawrie uuuuuuh yeah sorry my dude i'm an anticapitalist and um there are lots of shitty phrases in the lexicon i don't have to tolerate the use of
