It’s fucked up that these assholes used triggered as a slur. Soldiers suffering PTSD get triggered. People who have delt with trauma these people could never handle, get triggered. These fucks use it to brainwash young men. They make it seam that weak people are triggered, unfortunately weak people don’t survive long enough to be triggered.
appropriating words that mean something else from what they were supposed to be in a tactic of politicians and media . Like the word Woke – right wings are throwing around the word Woke to describe anything they dont like without realising it had a specific meaning – to “stay woke” is a survival phrase used by Blacks and eant being aware of social and political injustices, specifically racial injustice and systemic threats against Black people.
