HATING THE
HATERS!!!!!!!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/neilsingapore/

2. I LIVE IN SINGAPORE

3. LAST NIGHT THERE WAS A
RIOT

4. IN LITTLE INDIA

5. I WON’T GO INTO SPECIFICS
‘CAUSE THOSE CAN BE
GOOGLED

6. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED AFTER

7. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE

8. IMMEDIATELY SOCIAL
MEDIA WAS ABLAZE WITH
NEWS

9. AND ALMOST AS QUICKLY,
NEWS BECAME OPINIONEDITORIAL

10. AND A TSUNAMI OF UGLY
IDEAS CAME OUT

11. SOME OF IT WAS RACIST

12. SOME OF IT WAS CLASSIST

13. SOME OF IT WAS SEXIST

14. AND RIGHT ON THE HEELS
OF THE HATERS, CAME THE
HATER HATERS

15. THEY CALLED THE HATERS
DISGUSTING

16. THEY CALLED THE HATERS
IDIOTS

17. THEY CALLED THE HATERS
PAROCHIAL XENOPHOBES

18. WELL, I BET YOU CAN
IMAGINE HOW THE HATERS
REACTED

19. DO YOU THINK ANYONE
CALLED A DISGUSTING
XENOPHOBE SAID…

20. OH DEAR.

21. I GUESS THEY ARE RIGHT

22. I‘D BETTER CHANGE MY
ATTITUDE

23. NO

24. I TOO DOUBT THAT ANY OF
THEM SAID THAT

25. ANYWAY, IT GOT ME
THINKING

26. AND BEING A
MANAGEMENT
CONSULTANT

27. IT GOT ME THINKING
ABOUT COST-BENEFIT
ANALYSIS

28. ABOUT THE COST-BENEFIT
OF BEING A HATER HATER

29. AND IN THE END

30. HATING HATERS SEEMS A
REALLY INEFFICIENT AND
INEFFECTIVE STRATEGY

31. EVEN IF IT FEELS GOOD TO
BE A HATER HATER IN THE
MOMENT

32. AND HERE’S WHY

33. HOW TO DEAL WITH A HATER
HATE THEM BACK
BITE YOUR LIP AND
SHOW COMPASSION &
GUIDANCE
BEST
They ignore you & Things get better
CASE
keep hating
WORST Things escalate & They ignore you &
CASE
more people
keep hating
pulled into the
hating vicious
circle

34. ANYWAY, THE REAL REASON
THAT BEING A HATER HATER
IS NOT SO GOOD

35. IS THAT THE PEOPLE IN
LITTLE INDIA

36. TURNING OVER ALL THE
CARS AND BREAKING
THINGS

37. INCLUDING OTHER PEOPLE

38. WERE FORGOTTEN

39. WE’VE BEEN SO
DISTRACTED BY ALL THE
HATING

40. THAT WE FORGOT ALL THE
PEOPLE IN THE STREETS

41. WITH REAL RAGE

42. SCARY RAGE

43. NOT ILL-CONCEIVED BELIEFS

44. BUT REAL, METAL-PIPEWIELDING RAGE

45. AND THAT RAGE, TO BE FAIR

46. WAS BASED IN SOME
ILLEGITIMATE REASONS

47. BUT IT WAS ALSO BASED
ON SOME LEGITIMATE ONES
AS WELL

48. AND SO, WITH ALL THE
EFFORT SPENT ON HATING
AND HATING HATERS

49. WE’RE WASTING SO MUCH
ENERGY NOT CHANGING
WHAT MATTERS

50. ANYWAY, HAPPY HOLIDAYS
FROM SINGAPORE!
