The Kidults Are Emotionally Incontinent.
Throwing their toys out of the pram isn't unusual . Ask Jacob Rees-Mogg. He Supports Free Speech.
I see the adult, or should this be Kidult nappy wearing brigade are at it again with outpourings of emotional incontinence (something of a skill when spouting from both ends of the anatomy simultaneously), at Cardiff University following a visit from the Wee Smog, as I call him. Yes, the investment in their expensive further education will, if nothing else, prove useful to any future employer who requires bilingual skills if speaking from both ends at the same time is specific to the job role.
According to some, I do this all the time. On the plus side though, at least it hasn't cost me maybe £30.000, or similar to find out. So, who's the mug now?
Anyway, putting to one side the fact that far-left social agitators are using the pro-Palestinian cause to whip up a convenient frenzy of division and hatred and that students are a convenient and easy target for manipulation to justify their pro-Communism subtext. As so the thought of putting them on a plane to Gaza so they can properly fight for the cause they're so embedded in because Hamas would love them for it as useful idiots if nothing else, again I turn to language, and the misuse of.
Some years ago, to my best and most vivid recollection, there was a series of advertisements for the insurance company Legal and General that used the strapline "We Don't Make a Drama Out of a Crisis." Well, the millennials and their progeny seem to waste no time at all in doing both on any occasion and in no particular order. So, when it comes to the manipulation of terminology to suit whatever fit justifies the cause, unsurprisingly people will all jump on the same bandwagon together so that it becomes normal narrative. Well, to them at least.
One example of this has become the fetishisation of 'genocide'. Now, let's be clear in that while I'm not defending Israeli action where innocent people are being killed (such is war), compared to say, the Cambodian war, where up to two million people were subject to persecution and death, let it be said that if the proscribed terrorist organisation Hamas weren't using innocent people as shields for their activities civilian deaths would be fewer. So, when it reaches, if at all, the stage where Israeli forces are deliberately carpet bombing Gaza in its entirety and the population is wiped off the face of the earth, then, and only then can it be referred to as genocide. Up to this point, it's war. No over-egging of the pudding is required.
Semantics this may be, I agree. However, perhaps what's more pertinent in the context of terminology is its source, and I'd be inclined to point the finger towards the pro-Communist agitators who would be better served to replace their sickle and scythe emblem with a big, fat wooden spoon. But, keep it red, by all means as it would still serve the pernicious cause.
I cannot leave this piece without reference to what must be the pearl among oysters of language misuse nowadays, and that's the word 'trauma'. Well, if I don't find myself stuck somewhere between an OMG and a LMFAO! If having the emotionally incontinent wasn't bad enough, they're now joined by the emotionally crippled - worst still, a combination of both! Woe betide anyone having a fingernail break, to be misgendered, or choosing (yes, choosing) to take offence at something or other, and it translates as a 'trauma'.
Get a bloody grip, fools! Have your leg amputated following a road traffic accident if you want to experience what trauma really is, then you'll appreciate the meaning of the word. Otherwise, you're hijacking it for nothing more than a bit of attention seeking.
So, grow the fuck up and stop acting like poor helpless little children. Because, believe it, or not, there are far bigger problems in the world other than your minor hissyfit to consider!
