We have bad/corrupt governments sometimes, that doesn’t mean we should get rid of governments. (Though maybe the libertarian Fraser institute might disagree with me there.)

Fascism under Mussolini was envisioned as the merger of state and corporate power.

I always find it interesting that right wing “libertarians” never seem to ask themselves what would happen if you abolished the state and left a power vacuum for corporations to fill, with no one capable of stopping them.

Says while citing “studies” from the fraser institute, a libertarian think tank registered as a charity. Fuck them and fuck you for spreading their propaganda.

The vote did not pass and Amazon is laying off workers at every level. Automation is coming faster due to unions

Whose the clown? 🤡

you.

you are the clown.

Also, I know English isn’t your native language, but “who is” contracts to “who’s”.

“whose the clown?” would be asking “to whom does the ‘the clown’ belong?”, which doesn’t make sense on multiple levels.

Except most developed countries have strong unions and guess what, most everyone is happy with them and the workers actually have rights and get paid a fair wage. Only in the worker-trampling corporate-hellscape that is the US someone would think this nonsense.

Create post

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

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.
