  1. Observations after the Singapore Riot of 2013 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 OPINION-EDITORIAL

  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

  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-PIPE-WIELDING 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!
