General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, 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. (These things should be publicly discussed)
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.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
Why does everyone forget about the Steele Dossier and the Muller Report? How fucking dense are we collectively that we cannot see this clearly?
I'm so exhausted by all of this.
So, I consume their media so you don't have to. The short answer here is that from the moment it came out they've called it fake. Now they actually say that the government itself found the report to be fake. So, yeah they won't listen. Even if tomorrow a full report with names and links and bank accounts came out. Everything you could want...they would think it's fake and as soon as THEIR media starts confirming that they'll forget about it.
He has a cult like grip and it's scary. Supporters seem to just believe what their version of the news says. My friend went from "Mueller exonerated him!"to "largely exonerated him" to "MUELLER WAS WORKING FOR THE DEMS".
Funnily enough, some right wing guys have tossed the cult narrative back by calling left wing people cult members. Tim Pool does it all the time. They use all the buzz words. That talk about information inoculation. It's half believable if you don't chase primary sources.
Yep. Tbf a lot of cults are political so it's possible
