Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Yeah, you're right. Do the same thing over and over again and definitely get different results this time.

History is a cycle. I'd rather not be in the shitty part of it, thanks. We are not there yet but we are in a turning point. And people like you are harmful. Maybe not by intention but that's the result.

As in 1997, a pineapple could beat the Tories at the next election. Nobody needs you cheerleading the Labour right as if everything will magically be fine if only they're in power. It won't. It'll be a fucking disaster for generations to come. That's the best of your least worst options and the very least you can do is make it clear that you are not fucking happy about it.

@JoBo @lasagna curious assertions. And I think neither correct nor clever.

Oh, this is what interacting with Mastodon means. I don't get notifications for the tags.

And that's okay, mate. I haven't tried to look clever. I don't consider myself clever. As a matter of fact, I'm a moron and I'm happy to be seen as such. Welcome to my level, by the way.

I'm not used to things like Twitter much. Do people just not provide insight when they post? Your posts reads like "And I think neither correct nor clever. But I'm not going to say why because my head lives in my ass."

If you're still claiming that I think the Labour will magically fix anything then I doubt you have understood anything I said. Again, no surprise. I'm not saying any of this to convince you. From my perspective, you're a lost cause. I'm not even sorry to say that. Get your shit together. You look sound like our water companies right now. Dumping toxic shit wherever they can.

Stop cheerleading for more competently implemented fascism. FFS

You gotta be kidding me, mate. Do you lack even the most rudimentary understanding of government types?

At the very least, try and understand what fascism is. You're an insult to the people who have suffered under fascists.

Current Labour is incompetent and corporate cockglobers. Facists though? Are you one of those who believe we are led by underground lizard or some bs of equal magnitude?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do know what fascism is. And I know why liberals usher it in whenever there is the merest hint of a threat from the left.

Do more reading and less cheer-leading.

No. That link only proves that you know how to google and find articles that fit your narrative. Back in your days, did schools accept such blatant plagiarism?

And liberials? The fuck is this. We are not discussing American politics. Get out of here lmao. Are you a troll or some shit? This is so fascinating. If you are, you fooled me good and I just have to say that I'm damn impressed.

If there are differences in opinions, it's best to address them respectfully without resorting to accusations.

The fuck is wrong with you?

There's nowhere to even start with this. You think linking to a very famous essay is plagiarism and "liberal" means what USians think it means. FFS, you absolute clown.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Here is some common sense for you: linking something doesn't prove shit about your knowledge. Have you ever written anything in school or university? You can cite but to show you have learned a damn thing you still have to use your own words.

As such, I don't believe you know what fascism means. Let me give you an example mate:

I'm as smart as Einstein. Here is why.

Do you believe me yet?

And you're the one who brought all this up, funnily enough. Since you're so talkative, why not tell us how Keir Starmer is a fascist. Hell, you could even convince me here since if I were to vote for him it would be because he is the lesser devil.

Or you know, just go on about your nonsensical ramblings.

What the actual fuck? How old are you, 12?

(with apologies for defaming 12 year olds, some of whom are remarkably well read)

As far as your comprehension skills go, it looks like I might as well be 5.
