I stopped believing that a long time ago. The left are every bit as bad as the right.As part of my job I deal and work with a lot of people who you’d describe as being very left wing. I’d describe my own politics as being liberal and modern, too. I had an EU flag flying from my living room window in 2016!
But over the last few days I’ve seen some awful, cruel things being said on social media and around my workplace. Really inappropriate nasty stuff. And those on the left are supposed to be the nice, tolerant ones?
It’s all quite upsetting and overwhelming to be honest. The last time I saw such horrible things on social media was during brexit.
I’m not even a flag waving royalist. I just think people should have a bit of respect and understanding.
It’s like unless you’re a Corbyn supporting “hang them all!” socialist your opinions and feelings aren’t valid, and you’re somehow fair game to be subjected to piss taking and bullying.
I’m trying not to engage but it’s very hard. These people live in a radical left wing bubble and lots of them don’t understand that there’s a whole world and spectrum of valid opinions beyond their own.
I don’t even want to go into work today it’s that poisonous.
I find people with great interest in politics who are towards either end of the spectrum to be very bitter and nasty individuals with nothing good to say about anyone if don’t fall exactly on the same political point as them.
