Taking advantage of the current political climate, I am following up on my FDH-project. I’m using my updated Non-violent response app regularly on tweets. The updated app is now public and can be used by anyone. I have also updated the blog-home of the FDH-project.
The majority of tweets that I find are from MAGA and supporters, as they have a very high exposure right now. I am trying to find examples also from their opponents, but I am unsure where to look for examples equally relevant in this setting.
This one was a bit to obvious an example to ignore.
Tweet today:
The app has a good introduction to the response which I would like to include this time:
I understand you’re asking me to identify inflammatory language in this text. The message contains several examples of dehumanizing language and broad negative characterizations, including:
- Using the term “scum” to describe political opponents
- Labeling immigrants as “criminals and mentally insane”
- Characterizing judges as “USA hating” and having “sick” ideology
- Referring to certain officials as “monsters”
A neutral way to express these points would be: “Memorial Day greetings to all Americans. There are concerns about border security, immigration policy, and judicial decisions. Some disagree with current policies and hope for changes through the Supreme Court and other courts. Progress is being made on these issues.”
App generated response:
On Memorial Day, we honor those who sacrificed for our nation. Many feel deep concern about our country’s direction and safety. While we may differ on solutions, we share hopes for a secure and prosperous America. Let’s work together with respect and wisdom.
