I don't suffer PTSD-like symptoms.

Sure, American.

EDIT: aka A casual way of saying: yeah I didn't read shit and was 'upset' by the title, in your strictly defined (snowflake like) way of framing the word 'triggered'.

It's literally what triggered means. Specific words or phrases trigger memories of a traumatic event, which freaks out the triggered person. Thus trigger warnings, etc. It doesn't mean what you're using it to mean, and by the way redefining words was the tactic of the villain of Orwell's 1984.

"There's glory for you!"

"I don't know what you mean by 'glory'," Alice said.

Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don't - till I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument for you'!" "But 'glory' doesn't mean 'a nice knock-down argument'," Alice objected.

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more or less."

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be Master - that's all."

Cool for going off topic and all, you know, how is this article 'bashing Americans'?

There is no reason to think so, if you've read it. Yet you freaked out by just the title, going on a assumption spree with an attempt into guilt tricking. Flash-back:

Why the gratuitous bashing of Americans? Feel good?

How is this not a 'freaking out' response? You claiming you don't have PTSD isn't the way PTSD diagnosis works either.

bracing myself for another off-topic response indicative of a junkie confronted with their addiction and self-destructive behavior; claiming the 'others' are the ones who have a problem

It's not a freaking out response. It's a tired response to a hateful headline. People love to bash Americans for not being perfect. It makes them feel good and diverts attention away from their own inadequacies.

The triggered response would be to collapse into emotional breakdown and turn off the computer. I can see you have no idea what you're talking about.

Q.E.D. you were and still are triggered. 'Hateful headline': now that's some SJW shit tactic :p

Hateful headline!? HOW? Normal people don't know what https:// means, that's the problem, not a problem in as "hur hur they are dumb dumbs", a problem as in "this is easily exploited by cyber criminals".

But no: "the headline is hateful, I'm not triggered, I have no PTSD, I don't turn off my computer, see I just proved I'm not triggered and you don't know what you're talking about" going on for 4 comments now, I bet you still haven't read the damn article.

This whole victim perspective you have your tantrum about is a clear sign of being triggered, nobody can check whether you have or not have PTSD (something you claim one must have to be triggered) nor that you did or did not turn off your computer (yet another thing being triggered consists off). But MAN, this is the most clear case of being triggered, it gets clearer with every response.

I can see you have no idea what you're talking about.

Why this hatefulness against my lowIQbrianz? Feel good?

jk

This is hilarious.

You have zero idea of what triggering means. Go talk to some sexual assault survivors and get back to us.

What has sexual assault have to do with this:

Triggering is a set of PTSD-like symptoms that arise when Leftists encounter contrary opinions.

Your words, but all of a sudden you take it to the 'sexual assault level'. You're really shifting the goal-posts here buddy.

You know full well about the 'triggered' meme , yet you choose to drag in another off-topic thing; sexual assault...

Go talk to some sexual assault survivors and get back to us.

I seem to be talking with one butthurt fellow already, are you alright mate? Dragging in 'sexual assault survivors' just to fail to prove you are totally not triggered, pfiew. . How can you think that dragging in sexual assault survivors makes you seem less triggered?
