How Dare You Tweet

Is this tweet “nasty?”

Amanda Marcotte thinks it is:

The SBA List, one of the country’s most prominent anti-choice groups, promptly retweeted this nasty tweet that not only takes a swipe at Black Lives Matters but at victims of sexual abuse or bigotry who create “safe spaces” to talk about their experiences.

What has her so upset this time? People tweeting about topics she doesn’t approve of especially on days when they should be tweeting about topics of which she does approve.

Last week while most of the news was focused on two police shootings, pro-life groups continued their focus on what matters to them…all life. And Amanda will have none of that! If you don’t tweet about topics that Amanda wants you to tweet about you are “co-opting, language creating, undermining, hijacking, and demonizing” (lots of scare words) those that are.

The article is long, but if you want a good chuckle, I suggest reading it. As usual, much of the article is about her desire for consequence-free sex, but my main take away from it was how furious some on the left like Amanda get when conservatives use Twitter and other social media for their causes. I think they truly believe social media is for their use only.

A lot of the surge is due to a coordinated effort by PJNET, a loose confederation of online conservative activists who do thinks like hold Twitter rallies, such as the Wednesday one for #UnbornLivesMatter. These coordinated actions are an effort both to get these hashtags trending and to inject right wing talking points into the social media conversation.

Amanda, as always, proves yet again that she is intolerant, angry, insecure, ignorant, and hates freedom.
