When a bunch of white men form a militia, it's not attention they seek. It's because their privilege doesn't grant enough power.

why do you talk gobbledegook?
-
If you ask nicely (this Tweet didn't really do this) the lovely Emily might reframe this in language you're better able to access

-
'better able to access' ?
-
Better able to access = easier for you to understand. I apologise, I could have written this more simply and clearly.
-
I think the problem is that you are using American English without realising it . 'Access' for instance rather than simple 'get' or obtain
-
"language you are better able to obtain" <-- this makes no sense "language you are better able to get" <-- colloquial
-
"Access" has similarities with "accessibility," which makes sense in context, both in my thread and our domains of expertise.
-
In any case, I find it HILARIOUS to accuse her of speaking American.

I think these guys must feel freaking powerless. And I want to ask them, "What the Hell do you want?"
-
I'm white. I'm male. I'm hetero, etc. Most of what I want feels out of reach on a good day but I don't see how Nazis would get me closer.

You live in a different world, most probably, one that complicated & has no simple solutions, me thinks.
-
They live in one where the power rush of guns, male posturing combines with simple friend/foe thinking...
