Hacker News Reader

I (seriously) get triggered when i read arguments like yours. I was just about to come back with insulting retorts and my heart rate went up. Is that not enough to classify your argument as a "trigger", or is it that only certain political views get the privilege to be "triggering"? If we are going to classify all arguing as triggering , then we 'd better all shut up.

Yes. Above and beyond things that are horrifically traumatic, those groups who have been marginalized in society ought have that privilege. When you spend decades or centuries having the deck stacked against you, it is a completely appropriate approach to attempt to swing the balance back in the other direction.

My apologies. It's my mistake, as I forgot who the _real_ marginalized people are in society - Hacker News posters. Please forgive me.

Oh good. I see you have a list already.
