Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Scenes of racist gangs targeting migrant houses in NI is very depressing viewing. People putting signs and flags in windows to identify their nationality to the mob is like something you read about in a history book and wonder how it ever happened.

It makes me so sad too. I feel that Trump and social media are the enablers of this. This next bit is my own personal theory. I think COVID changed society for the worse. Somehow compassion and humanity got lost during that period of isolation in spite of the examples of doctors, nurses, care workers and others, who gave so much. There seems to be a me me me mob mentality now amongst a large section of society and we took many steps backwards. Or am I just getting old?

I can’t stand him. Even though I’m not from Liverpool his accent sounds completely false to me. They are playing Picture This by Blondie (one for you @peteblue ) so things are looking up.
I’m from Walton too, not that one though!

It’s really worrying- I feel it’s bubbling under the surface in so many places. There definitely seems to be a part of society that are selfish, bullish and confrontational. There seems to be no room for debate or understanding of other’s situations. Polarised views and if you don’t agree you’re wrong, stupid, etc. It’s a mess really.

Johnson and Trump famously twisted science and reason so very badly to suit their agenda during Covid that many people lost faith in science, reason, established education and the society that promoted it. They did such a bad job during covid that it added fuel to anti-vaccers and reinforced the delusions a lot of badly educated people have, that they know best. Its certainly resulted in more people isolating themselves from normal social thinking and towards greater selfishness. Its not been helped by increasing poverty and the example being set by those few who have very obviously collected the planet's wealth for their own hoards.

I went to an old fashioned all girls high school- our teachers were medieval and as well as the usual we had lessons in embroidery (never did get the hang of it), cookery and country dancing. I must admit feel a bit pre war at the moment though 😂
