You Are Triggering me! The Neo-Liberal Rhetoric of Harm, Danger and Trauma

This word, neo-liberal, I don't think it means what you think it means.

I just think it's funny that the author of this article is basically doing the exact same thing by using an economic term describing conservative, small goverment, globalized, free market enterprise to mean "leftists that are under the age of 20."

Let's keep the discourse around here to a uniform academic standard. Let's not appropriate words that mean something completely different (like, say, the word trigger) because we like the way they sound.

The thing that annoys me is that people who have suffered trauma can legitimately get flashbacks and the like from random experiences, but it is being badly exploited by these trigger claimers to sensationalize and pump up their various forums and outlets.
