@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

@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

@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.

@kayshow @ttlawrie civil discourse doesn't involve telling people that they're "triggered" and on a "personal crusade" because they made a single comment saying they dislike the use of a term

@selfagency @ttlawrie I agree with you on that point. Sometimes let’s just take a breath and chill for our own mental health.

@kayshow @ttlawrie i'm just sayin' paul krugman is a multimillionaire ny times columnist who doesn't need a slew of people rushing to his defense because someone disagreed with a single sentence in his op-ed

@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?
