The awfulness of the "Be kind" social media mob

The real authoritarians are the SJWs. I am so smart. The real freedom lovers are anti-trans, any-gay, anti-immigrant, anti-traveller, anti-womens-rights. But you never hear any of that ever voiced on here, because of the censorship. Again, I am so smart.

What about incorrect use of "quotes"?

I think it was Jerry Springer who did the 'Be kind to yourself, and one another'.... even when that episode had featured people beating the living snot out of one another.

Laura Whitmore has a #bekind tag in her social media... she set the dogs on some journalist, who she named. Said journo had all sorts of abuse sent her way, a few death threats too. Horrific, nasty stuff. Respectable newspapers, such as the Washington post, came out in support of the journalist. And Whitmore was called out on her hypocrisy.

But tbh, this stuff has all happened before, it will happen again. We saw it with literally religion or spinoff of a religion, we saw it with charities that were pocketing the funds, such that homeless charity where the founder of the organisation was raping homeless men.

Or probably most infamously (in recent times) Lance Armstrong using a cancer charity for kids to 'dissuade' journalists from investigating the many allegations of him doping and cheating. 'But look at what he's doing for these kids'.

Happened before, sadly will happen again. Human's are flawed. To varying degrees.

Not too sure what’s going on in the OP, in relation to the thread “title”. Seems to be a complaint about their complaint not being taken on board by others, when there seem to be a bigger issue being addressed.

Anyway, with regards to the “be kind” side of things. Just seems to be a lot of anger out there. A lot of negativity too. I don’t see the harm in trying to spread a little positivity. Everything doesn’t have to be “doom and gloom” all the time.

The world is changing, “society” changes and, as always, certain sections of the older, and middle aged, members of society don’t like it. Some never accept it.

You get lots of talk about the young people not knowing what life is like and how they have it too easy, a sort of “I had to suffer so they should too”. It’s very unhealthy and extremely negative. Crab mentality stuff.

Unfortunately, these angry lads seem to outnumber the, more, normal users on sites like these. An outside “observer” viewing this site would be well within their rights to think Ireland was a backwards country that hated foreigners, LGBTQIA+, women, POCs and Muslims.

I never really get how some people can get so butthurt over others showing the slightest bit of solidarity with those in less fortunate “situations”. Or just trying to spread a little positivity.

Maybe they think “vice signalling” is cool, and edgy, now but that’s not very likely, considering lads in their late 30’s to mid 40’s bracket aren’t known for having their fingers on the pulse of what’s cool. Guess they just want everyone to be as stuck in their ways, and angry, as them.

Was it not Jerry Springer?...

Yes, i can hear you Clem.....oooh wait, what is that 'T'......as if you weren't enough of a prat already!

I think they both said it. So yeah he probably said it first since his show was on the air first.

she isnt/wasnt a domestic abuser

Louis Theroux is the latest I've noticed to jump on the woke doctrine as you call it. I guarantee he's trying to mask some controversy that he's desperate won't surface.

His own documentation of his friendship and close working relationship with Jimmy Saville worked out well for him in the end.
