I try to catch you outside but timing is never there. One of these days!
I wasn't going to chime in on this thread, but I don't think it's necessarily BECAUSE of social media, but social media hasn't helped that people have been more rude/crude/in-your-face. My counterpart at work has recently been absolutely awful to pretty much everyone to the point I was about to abandon my workplace of 16 years. Luckily he's now in HR's hands, but it's crazy how wild people have become over the last ten years or so.
Old people have been complaining about young people's manners and culture for centuries, a tale as old as time. I don't think this generation is any worse or better than the ones before it or the ones that will come after.
This is very much true. In my experience as a young person, what I've seen is that there are lots of older people who draw out and highlight immaturity in people younger than them and generalizing a whole generation. Of course it's validating to degrade someone to uplift yourself. I think if you truly don't like how young people tend to act then why are you complaining and tearing them down instead of guiding the younger generation?
What I have noticed is you can't have your own opinion anymore and if you do your wrong. Before people didn't care. Now OMG how can you say that and they will give you a thousand reasons why your wrong and try to convince you of their way of thinking. Example If Chick-fil-a wants to give money to anti gay groups so be it. That's is their right. I don't have to agree with them. Either I don't go and support their business or I say it's their right to think that and all I want is a chicken sandwich. That's it nothing more nothing less about it but people will carry on about it and make a major deal about it.
Yes, it bothers some that there are hate groups out there. So, they advocate against anti hate and that is their right too. When hate advocates threaten or endanger others, or cause discrimination there will be others who speak up against it. Thinking something or having an opinion and advocating are two different things.
There are some amusing comments on here.
I’ll tell you what the problem is. Young whippersnappers! No drive. Afraid of work. When I tell them I had a 1967 chevelle and a 2 bedroom house while working part time at wonder bread downtown. All they’ve got is excuses and “ok Boomer”
Agreed. Simply because a person or business takes a certain action that doesn't support another group, organization or cause does not necessarily equate to hate. Automatically jumping to using the term "hate group" for an organization you don't support is, in and of itself, a form of hate.
The false equivalency is a common tactic used to diminish real problems and people that are the target.
Groups that advocate adverse and harmful actions against groups merely because of who they are born as is exhibiting hateful behavior and are hate groups. Believe what you believe... great. But to go try to create problems for others based on your own opinions is egregious. When opinion turns to harmful advocacy, it is hateful. Targeting groups based on political or religious beliefs are a gross abuse of free speech and an attack on moral civility. Identifying those advocates as hate groups is not hate, it is putting light on them for what they are.
Adverse (depending on your definition) and harmful acts vs. simply not agreeing with, and/or not supporting are two very different things. I don't think any of us have any patience for individuals/groups advocating harm to just about anyone.
People who knee-jerk react to someone who disagrees with them or has a different opinion by going straight to personal attacks or casting ridiculous extreme narratives are, themselves expressing hate. That is something that has exploded in the age of social media. You can see it every day where character assassination comes before discussion.
Yeah, l think he does because you used it yourself in your post. I was going to bring it up as well as you contradicting yourself, but decided not to. Moving on......
And you guys just keep proving my point. Lol
