Can you use bad language while Defending on Social media ?
Defending on Social Media - Mind your language PL.
These days news is mainly shared on Social Media. The free use of twitter, Instagram, face book, LinkedIn, WhatsApp is done to share news.
The social media is also used to air one's opinions.
Earlier people used to write to Editor of Newspaper. After scrutiny of such letter by editorial staff if deemed fit it used to get published. Then there was very little response by other readers and matter used to die down there itself.
However now due to presence of electronic media 24X7 and access which it gives to air opinions there is argument and counter argument happening on social media. On twitter there is something called getting trolled. If you write something and people disagree then you get multiple messages back and you get trolled.
Another thing which has started is that certain group of persons are constantly watching news which involves leader of their liking. Moment anyone comments on what leader has said they immediately start pouring messages defending leaders action. This defense goes on blindly and lot many wrong facts are put and reference is given about similar thing done by other party leaders.
Sometimes I wonder whether such long messages are drafted in Cyber Cell of political parties and circulated among their grass root workers to make it viral.
However, those defending their leaders need to do little introspection. Every leader is human being and may not be right always. Many times, leader withdraws his statement and supporter who is unaware continues to defend.
In recent past there are many ModiBhakts or BJP supporters who continue to defend in every matter actions of BJP party. Earlier also there are instances in which people used to say " Indira is India “. There was so much following which Late Smt Indira Gandhi enjoyed. The supporters praised in her every action whether it was Emergency or separating from main congress and forming Congress-I and war for liberation of Bangladesh. In Other instances, leaders like NTR, YSR, Jayalalitha, Bal Thackeray, Madhav Rao Scindia, Charan Singh also enjoyed staunch followers who supported their leaders and stood by them always.
In other countries there are instances like Castro in Cuba, Mandela in South Africa, Garbochov in Russia, Mahathir in Malaysia and Kim Jong Un of North Korea. All these leaders have also good following.
While followers are free to defend actions or quotes of their leaders
many times, line of decency is crossed on social media. In one case the Governor of State was compared to loyalty of dog. In another case opposition party members were referred to as reptiles, insects etc.
One is required to be careful about what one is writing and whether it would offend anyone.
While defending on social media one should realize that like them others also have their opinion. Indian constitution has given right to everyone to express their opinions freely. You have right to disagree but you do not have right to insult.
