My recent observations on K-twitter:

1 - A lot of repetition. In the sense, a lot of same old azadi talk without any growth or deeper understanding. I am not criminalising any such expression though (especially among those learning and those who are new here).
The goal of writing (for those who are political here since long), in my opinion, should be deconstruction. Deconstruct how the state works and what it means when it speaks. These things help others understand what's going around better than hollow tweets.
(Just to be clear, I do not mean all we should do is deconstruction. Just that when these write on K, they should bring new things to the table. It is only for those who are writing on K/Politics since long and claim to have some hold over it through their actions or words.)
2 - At the same time, people who are learning need to make good use of google and put work into what the want to learn. Don't expect others to spoon-feed you (seen a lot of it). Also, do not believe in cult-worshipping, ye che aasi zabardas bemaer.
Don't put your weight behind somebody else. Rather, find your own path. Share the work and suffering that comes with it. It will also keep you open to questioning people when they mess up. Also, do not take people for who they are online.
3 - Every now and then, a tweet comes up on my timeline which makes completely no sense and with it also comes a rebuttal. As the correction has been put forward, I feel no need to do the same but a lot of us do not differentiate between intended and unintended nonsense, sadly.
For the sake of twitter brownie points and being 'savage', we target some of the most clueless people and drive them away from circles of learning and exposure. So please, don't jump the gun. Differentiate first and then gang up if you want to, these things can scar people.
