Things like this will increase in frequency as long as the culture war is seen as a viable strategy by the right wing. We’ve worked hard to make this country more accepting, we can’t let it slip back.

I think it’s when you single out one group of people that you dislike and pin everything that you don’t like in life on them. Often it will be met with support from like minded people. Kinda football team mentality - my team is better than your team.

For example:

  • You don’t think like me you’re a Tory toff.
  • You don’t think like me you’re a Brexitier.
  • You don’t think like me you must be a transphobe.
  • You don’t think like me you must want to privatise the NHS.
  • You don’t think like me you must be a communist.

That sorta thing.

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.
