1. The purpose of this article is to inform us about the Triggering \u2013 a social media movement to reveal the truth to social justice warriors and people on the extreme left politically. <\/p>\n
2. We know this because in the second paragraph it talks about how SJWs block off people whose opinions differ to theirs \u2013 use of mass block lists\u2019. Also in the second paragraph it talks about \u2018politically incorrect home truths\u2019 which means that sometimes the facts aren\u2019t always necessarily in line with the PC ideas on racism, sexism or ageism. <\/p>\n
3&4. The target audience would be other adults who agree with the Triggering. We know this because the writer\u2019s tone throughout appeals to these people with humour. He calls the social justice warriors \u2018precious snowflakes\u2019 which makes them seem weak and pathetic. He also calls the Triggering \u2018hilarious\u2019 which shows he finds the movement really funny as it antagonises leftist people. <\/p>\n
5. The writer\u2019s word choice of \u2018cry baby\u2019 is effective in par 1 as it suggests that the SJWs moan all the time. The word has connotations of taking an extreme upset reaction to very small things that shouldn\u2019t really affect us. <\/p>\n
6. The metaphor of \u2018echo chamber\u2019 to describe social media is very effective. All the different types of social media are the echo chamber and all the different posts become the echoes. Social media takes a point and ends up amplifying it as it gets retweeted just like an echo bouncing.<\/p>\n
7. \u2018Precious snowflake\u2019 is an effective descriptor of the SJWs. The writer uses this ironically. The \u2018snowflake\u2019 suggests these people are delicate and the precious suggests they are worth looking after. Because his tone is ironic we know that he actually means that these people need to become more resilient.<\/p>\n
8. The dash adds information about the SJWs not having their ideas confronted. The writer says this is a good thing as if they knew someone was challenging their thoughts then they would sue or seek psychiatric help.<\/p>\n
9. The word \u2018merely\u2019 suggests that the \u2018we hunted the Mammoth\u2019 website is trying to downplay the importance of the Triggering by making it seem small and unworthy. <\/p>\n
10. The writer clearly supports the Triggering and thinks it\u2019s a good thing. He says it is a good way to \u2018reassert the right to broadcast\u2019 which shows he thinks taking back freedom of speech is a good thing. He also calls Lauren Southern a \u2018libertarian activist\u2019. If he didn\u2019t support her ideas he would probably have insulted her, instead he supports her for starting the Triggering. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
