The events of the last week have left me feeling gagged, de-voiced. Here on Facebook, it feels as though unless one subscribes to an entirely binary view of society, faith and humanity – good/bad, true/false – it is assumed that you support or believe in the other side of that duality. Nuance, consideration and thought are pushed out, replaced by ruthless assertion. Any attempt to achieve an understanding of events is caricatured as giving succour to the other side, whatever side is perceived as the enemy – and dont get me started on how one defines the enemy in the first place. Ive really had enough.
