This article from The Kansas City Star is amazing. If we’re talking about “fragility,” there can’t be any better illustration than this. A bunch of college students who profess to be scared and traumatized because someone tweeted a joke about George Floyd.
They actually marched. They left their homes and marched because of a tweet. Signs and everything. Because of a tweet.
Here’s a grown woman who was incapacitated and unable to perform her duties at work because someone tweeted something she didn’t like
80 percent feel physically jeopardized from the tweet
Counseling services have been offered for those traumatized from the tweet, butt he students say it’s not enough. They don’t want to have to live with bad tweets. They want all the bad tweets to go away.
Yet the side that features people who crumple to the floor in tears over a tweet will still accuse others of “fragility.” Talk about stones and glass houses. My God.
