The victimhood of "it would not cost anything..."

Reprimand, scold, qualify as an idiot, make a mistake publicly ugly with self-sufficiency and waiting for the ovation of the stands... The national king of sports has taken over social networks and does not close for holidays. Not even the August heatwave invites those who are jumping to lower the sails. Down with reflection, up with the easy trigger!

Twitter is the platform for dialect battles. If it was already sour with the logo of the innocent little bird, what won't happen now that Elon Musk's X invariably says good morning to us. Some people see in that letter a mysterious and futuristic connotation, an element associated with the unknown and the exploration of new horizons. Others do not overlook the ideological charge of its typography: power in the shadows, lurking totalitarianism..., the ferocious wolf.

So pimping on Twitter is going to have extra connotations now that each tweet arrives with the overlay of the X in the front door. The bile will have to find a balance and not get carried away. Because this new “pro-rights” society that dictates gag laws against all dissidents is the same one that spreads the rug for victimhood in the souk of identities.

And for law, the right to nail flags and put the lace. If possible, using union tags. It is already a pity that arguments, finesse or intelligent malaise do not become fashionable. No. In these August sales, taglines such as “besis” or “I love you too” continue to be carried on Twitter to sign a sour message. And also that "it wouldn't cost anything..." or "it doesn't cost that much either..." that is used to recriminate, for example, that someone's Catalan identity is hidden – that is, not on record. Even if it's a big mistake.

An example: “It wouldn't cost anything to say that Calixto Bieito is Catalan” –and not from Burgos, despite his birth and childhood in Miranda de Ebro–, said a tweeter when faced with information that he believed to be malicious. Since then, the victimization tagline has extended to all that error referring to the name of Burgos, such as the one that claims that Alicia de Larrocha was from Burgos.

"It wouldn't cost anything to say that he was from Barcelona," launches a musician on the social network. Obvious. And above all it should be stated that he was not from Burgos. Whatever it takes.
