How absolutely appalling. How mindbogglingly awful. I have no words.
I simply cannot believe how wrong this is. It made me so cross when I saw it. This is not the way things should be.
Sadly we're seeing a lot more of this kind of thing these days. That's why I always share it when I see it, so I can add my voice to how unacceptable it is. Who are the idiots behind the circulation of this outrage?
When I saw this latest abomination I became so angry that I needed to tell everyone how angry I was. Not to express my indignation would make me complicit in the sharing of untruths, indeed to adopt a passive neutral position would be morally unforgivable. Every one of us is honour bound to call out misinformation whenever we see it, and to tell the perpetrators what we think of them, rather than allowing this malicious deception to be circulated unchecked.
I do not understand how anyone else could look at this situation and not come to the same conclusion the rest of us have undoubtedly reached. That's what I think, and I know you think that too.
Does it not strike you as odd that these people are saying one thing, when what they should be saying is another. I literally screamed when I heard it, as their weasel words cut deep into my very soul. My gut reaction was to yell back and tell them how very wrong they were, to put them right, to set the record straight. But I recognised I could only achieve this by replying and sharing that reply with everyone else. A rebuke shared is a judgement settled.
I disagree with these opinions in the strongest possible terms. There is no evidence whatsoever for any counterargument. We must not allow ourselves to be lured into an irrevocably unjust society by the siren voice of popular thought.
I mean, let's look at the facts, which are clear and plain and unequivocal. All these are self-evident truths, based on my interpretation of reality, and no other reading of the evidence is possible. We all know what the facts are, and yet some people still go out of their way to deny them, and it makes me mad.
The manner in which the person in question has reacted is disgraceful. No right-thinking person could ever condone what they said, that much is self-evident. There's only one way to interpret what they said, which is to find it morally repellent. I'm ashamed now that I may once have given this person the benefit of the doubt, when it turns out they held such offensive views all along. Their moral compass is seriously flawed, and I will never take anything they say or do seriously again. With this one single outrageous statement, they are dead to me.
I condemn their position unreservedly. Where is the sense of tolerance our national conversation demands?
Why do so many people continue to believe such indefensible things? We all know that a complete spectrum of opinions exists, but some viewpoints are so incorrect that it makes no sense to hold faith in them. For centuries humanity has been split along ideological lines, but I know the day is coming when the partisan will see the error of their ways and come down on the side of truth, and I'm convinced my pithy comments will help seal the deal.
And you never see any of this reported in the media. People carry on spouting these lies but nobody ever holds them to account, nobody presents the opposing point of view. I know the BBC's rigged agenda refuses to inform the public about what's really going on. Their silence only goes to reconfirm the institutional bias at the rotten heart of our so-called national broadcaster, and I can no longer countenance any of their output I disagree with.
We all know racism when we see it. We all recognise irresponsible opinions on the Israeli-Judeo-Palestinian situation. We all understand the only defensible attitude to Islamophobia. So how has it become so difficult to define the obvious dividing line between right and wrong?
The state of media regulation has become a matter of constant shame. Hateful comments which plainly break disciplinary rules are left upstanding, while colleagues of mine who only want to share the truth are brutally silenced. The ease with which unbridled misinformation and intolerance can now be circulated shames our very existence. As our civilisation slips blindly into vindictive animosity, never let it be said I kept my powder dry.
My inner monologue rages against the injustices of collective communication. How dare people make their contrary opinions known, and twist the truth in full public view. I am distressed by the thoughtless hatred being expressed in our world today, and I thoughtlessly hate those who express it. Why must they always seek to distort reality, rather than reinforce my core beliefs?
I despair at our civilisation's direction of travel. The voices of those who should be silenced are instead being amplified by the mindless over-reactions of others. We must not offer a platform to malevolent rabble-rousers who seek only to corrupt the mainstream.
Nobody wants to see this sort of thing in their timeline.
