Don’t let it affect you it’s mainly people with nothing else to do only try to drag others down with them. They mainly agitate for something the rest of us are quite happy to take or leave. One word answers are usually the way to deal with them then move on.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.
Twitter and YouTube are the worst for trolls who delight in pulling you into there warped sense of right or wrong. It’s toxic out there
