Can we PLEASE make peaceful "debate culture" a subject in middle school?!
I'm a millennial from #Germany, we call it #MittlereReife or #Realschule. I'm one of THOSE, and HERE I AM, COMPLAINING, in proficient English!
WE NEEDed those lessons, below the #HighSchool #Gymnasium tier, a century ago! In my not so humble opinion! 🤬
People ARE SHIT AT DISCUSSING things peacefully, in a CIVILISED manner! ...on #SocialMedia!

Here's a little tip if you don't want to confuse people on social media:
When you write something, please provide context if possible.
I've gotten into the habit of no longer responding, or only very rarely, to cryptic toots when they lack context and I don't understand what they're about.
And yes, I know the urge to just blurt something out without context. But please think about the people who read it and are left guessing.
