HATING THE
HATERS!!!!!!!
OBSERVATIONS AFTER THE SINGAPORE RIOT OF 2013
http://www.flickr.com/photos/neilsingapore/
I LIVE IN SINGAPORE
LAST NIGHT THERE WAS A RIOT
IN LITTLE INDIA
I WON’T GO INTO SPECIFICS ‘CAUSE THOSE CAN BE
GOOGLED
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AFTER
AS YOU CAN IMAGINE
IMMEDIATELY SOCIAL MEDIA WAS ABLAZE WITH
NEWS
AND ALMOST AS QUICKLY, NEWS BECAME OPINION-
EDITORIAL
AND A TSUNAMI OF UGLY IDEAS CAME OUT
SOME OF IT WAS RACIST
SOME OF IT WAS CLASSIST
SOME OF IT WAS SEXIST
AND RIGHT ON THE HEELS OF THE HATERS, CAME THE
HATER HATERS
THEY CALLED THE HATERS DISGUSTING
THEY CALLED THE HATERS IDIOTS
THEY CALLED THE HATERS PAROCHIAL XENOPHOBES
WELL, I BET YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW THE HATERS
REACTED
DO YOU THINK ANYONE CALLED A DISGUSTING
XENOPHOBE SAID…
OH DEAR.
I GUESS THEY ARE RIGHT
I‘D BETTER CHANGE MY ATTITUDE
NO
I TOO DOUBT THAT ANY OF THEM SAID THAT
ANYWAY, IT GOT ME THINKING
AND BEING A MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT
IT GOT ME THINKING ABOUT COST-BENEFIT
ANALYSIS
ABOUT THE COST-BENEFIT OF BEING A HATER HATER
AND IN THE END
HATING HATERS SEEMS A REALLY INEFFICIENT AND INEFFECTIVE STRATEGY
EVEN IF IT FEELS GOOD TO BE A HATER HATER IN THE
MOMENT
AND HERE’S WHY
HATE THEM BACK BITE YOUR LIP AND SHOW COMPASSION &
GUIDANCE
BEST CASE
They ignore you & keep hating
Things get better
WORST CASE
Things escalate & more people pulled into the hating vicious circle
They ignore you & keep hating
HOW TO DEAL WITH A HATER
ANYWAY, THE REAL REASON THAT BEING A HATER HATER
IS NOT SO GOOD
IS THAT THE PEOPLE IN LITTLE INDIA
TURNING OVER ALL THE CARS AND BREAKING
THINGS
INCLUDING OTHER PEOPLE
WERE FORGOTTEN
WE’VE BEEN SO DISTRACTED BY ALL THE
HATING
THAT WE FORGOT ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE STREETS
WITH REAL RAGE
SCARY RAGE
NOT ILL-CONCEIVED BELIEFS
BUT REAL, METAL-PIPE-WIELDING RAGE
AND THAT RAGE, TO BE FAIR
WAS BASED IN SOME ILLEGITIMATE REASONS
BUT IT WAS ALSO BASED ON SOME LEGITIMATE ONES
AS WELL
AND SO, WITH ALL THE EFFORT SPENT ON HATING
AND HATING HATERS
WE’RE WASTING SO MUCH ENERGY NOT CHANGING
WHAT MATTERS
ANYWAY, HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM SINGAPORE!
