Who do we hate this week?

Ohhh Nooo

...and now it's a trans thread... 🤣

People who use being “woke” as an excuse to damage children.
What do you mean?
Despite your post about the meaning that “Woke means empathy and emotional intelligence”,
“woke” is also used to describe those who advocate or are supportive of early surgical or chemical treatment of children who wish they were the opposite sex.
Not being “woke” is used as an insult for those who disagree.

Yes.

I have posted on another thread.

Woke means empathy and emotional intelligence.

Very odd to use it as an insult.

Judging by some responses on another thread we hate tactless old ladies who get it wrong in a woke world. We're allowed to hate them of course because they're white.

Best just to leave them to it.

But then this very loud and shouty minority can tell themselves they are a majority. They are not. Most people couldn't give a damn who they chose to hate today but it can influence our lives.

That's exactly how we got into the mess we are now. Haters leading those who love to hate. Extremists are small in number but hate gives them far too much influence.

So many subtexts on this thread 🤣

I seem to remember in the book 1984 people switched on the radio for the "Morning Hate" and were given their instructions.

I hate twitter.
It does untold damage.

Anyone who leaves a banana skin in shopping trolley.

The planning committee of the local council. I'm starting to think talk of brown envelops could sadly be true. And are they really all in the same free mason lodge? Is it called a lodge?

I don't think I do hate. It's a mixture of anger and despair for me. There must be some good people in politics and in the media but the trash is all we get to see.

If I hate it's for real evil....anyone who is cruel to children, rapists and the like.

The players of “music”over dialogue on tv.

People who ring you and try to scam you. I have stopped answering the phone to anyone who’s name doesn’t appear now. If they don’t leave a message, bad luck.

Hate is such a strong word that seems to have reduced in strength over recent years. I have never hated anyone or anything, not even people who have done me harm . I might be in a minority but life’s too short to hate something you have absolutely no way of changing or influencing 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think the OP was more about "hate" as in what the newspapers (and some on GN) think we should group together, blame and hate.

It's a very old instrument of propaganda which we seem to have seen much more of in the last dozen or so years.

I don't hate the football pundits.

They just annoy me and I do have an off switch.

I blame the Internet

come not some

The government as a whole. Chocolate teapots some to mind.

Last time firefighters had a strike the right wing press loved to tell us that they spend their days playing snooker and head off to their second job after their relaxing shift.

British Gas for their inefficiency.

Firefighters are probably a new entrant as a group.
