I remember when people were getting suspended from Twitter for telling journalists to “#learntocode” after a bunch of them got laid off [0]. It was characterized as “targeted harassment”.

Which was ironic as several months before the tone deaf journos had been writing articles encouraging former coal mines to learn to code.

I'm sure you understand the difference between intent of what you're saying and the actual meaning of the words you're using. 'Let's Go Brandon' does not in fact mean people are cheering on an individual named Brandon, and often #learntocode wasn't used to actually help people learn to code. It was a bunch of people hijacking a slogan, hashtag, whatever in order to annoy a group of people they disliked. Much like 'Let's Go Brandon' is used by people that are, I don't know, afraid they're gonna get assassinated by a Democrat or something?

I am pretty sure these journalists already do lot of targetted harassment against people they don't like.

Karma?

Let's go Brandon is used when you want to express 'Fuck Joe Biden' but in polite company.

Only GOP congressional baseball players are afraid of getting assassinated by Democrats.
