@DrLindseyFitzharris I do despair how tribal people are, including in principle more liberal and tolerant people. Is it ‘the human condition’? I sincerely hope not….
Have a nice evening👍🏻

@DrLindseyFitzharris yes I absolutely found some of it enlightening. But I’ve seen quite a lot of the little Englander attitude on here to ‘newcomers’. I don’t like seeing that for obvious reasons. And that quote is over the edge to me.

@toa5t @CountBinface I think you might find that is language used pretty much everywhere. We don’t need arrogance or tribalism on here.

@DrLindseyFitzharris I got as far as ‘The Twitter people believe in the same fantasy of a "public square" as the person they are allegedly fleeing. Like fourteenth century Europeans, they bring the contagion with them as they flee’
Then gave up on their tribalistic and divisive nonsense. In fact reactionary nonsense. Welcome people, explain calmly, have patience. People are people.

@stux Class. Full credit due!

@EmmaKennedy do it!

@dminghella I personally don’t think a CW should be used for ANYTHING political. I would use for the more divisive issues (maybe around Trump, Brexit, immigration?).
But we do need a radical culture shift else this place will just go down the same grubby rabbit hole as the other place.

@Magnumificent wow!

@ruud I’ve blocked him and won’t engage with you in future. Regards.
