disconnected

I respect that some of the netizens see it as a patriotic duty to play an alternative role to the mainstream media, but somehow or rather, I get an uneasy feeling that most are really a group of disconnected citizens.

There is nothing good about Singapore, nothing to live and to fight for, if we were to believe and accept everything the alternative says. Every post and article is a criticism to the country and the way it is run, even in policies that actually do benefit. Every Singaporean is brainwashed. Every citizen has poor social etiquette. Everyone is a coward, so much so that some worship a mat salleh who lords himself as a saviour to an enslaved citizenry cowing in fear.

Is there nothing to celebrate, nothing to be proud of? Medals we have won, artists and small-time entrepreneurs with lauded ideas, but that which needs your support? Why so ashamed of your fellow citizens and your own country?

Or maybe it's that disconnected holier-than-thou facade that needs to be dropped.
