I hate Politics.
Fact: The only people who can make politics interesting are Ian Hislop and Paul Merton. Everyone else will just talk about some little insignificant occurance and then either a) tell people its the best thing to happen in politics ever or b)Rip it to metaphorical shreds and accuse the people who came up with it of some kind of improbable smear campaign against them. Neither of these will make me care about the fact that taxes were lowered by 4p.
Holy shit! FOUR WHOLE PENCE!? Pah. Even if I paid taxes on my shitty paying job, you know how long I’d have to work to make 4P? Little over six seconds. But at least I could spend my 4p on something else, say, four of those little banana sweets from Pick and Mix.
I’d rather talk to my Nan about sex than have a political debate. Unless the person you’re talking to agrees with everything you say, there’s a 99.99998% chance they’ll take personal offence and end up not talking to you for the rest of the week, just because you said something like “I don’t agree with abortion”. What you thought was a casual throwaway comment ends up alienting you from your over-enthusiastic friends. Am I a bad person for having opposing opinions to you? No, so CALM THE FUCK DOWN, ITS NOT A BIG DEAL. Especially when you’re sixteen and you can’t even vote. Arguments cause dislike, intolerance and divorce. Why would people seek them out?
I hate being drawn into political “debates” I don’t care about. I hate people who make out the media to be evil and are “covering up” things that either didn’t happen or did but is not a big deal to 95% of the population. I hate the right wing people who say stupid things like “computer games cause MURDER!!1!SINEOVERTAN!! I hate the left wing people who convinently ignore a certain Mr. Mao when raving about how great they are and talk shit about “revoloutions” that will never/don’t need to happen, or would chicken out if they did. I hate politics.
… you hate the people who have political ideals, or their ideals?
Cause there’s a rather big difference there.
The answer is…neither, actually.
Its hard to simply hate ideals, because witout people they don’t amount to anything. They’re hypothetical. However, it would be hypocritical (and racist) of me to hate someone because of their ideals or beliefs, because we all have them. they might not be political ideals, but ideals all the same.
Take a closer look at the last paragraph and you’ll find I state quite cleraly the kinds of people I have a beef with, and this is because of their BEHAVIOUR rather than anything else. Don’t confuse “I hate the left wing people who convinently ignore blah blah…” with “I hate left wing people”.
A shame; politics has heard of you and admires your work.
You conveniently forget those left-wingers who think Mao was the best thing since perforated bread. Probably best not to draw your attention to them though, since you already have a well-populated hatespace.
[Hatespace is now (C) my word].
