As an outsider, I’m curious why there is such a focus on liberalism in leftist circles? It seems every other meme here is hate for liberals. What’s the relationship between liberalism and leftism?

Politicians are supposed to plan for the future

Where did they get that idea from?

That says it’s for students.

Why only in the US? Why not international?

I care about other people senselessly killing creatures that don’t have to die because they like the flavor.

I think with this statement you’ve uncovered the heart of the issue. Your interest in other people’s diets is unwelcome and those who do not welcome your interest are simply returning the favour.

If one pokes one’s nose in other people’s business, one should expect negative responses.

Edit: pretty ironic that you accused me of putting my head in the sand and then downvoted this comment with no response.

O_o

when Farage blames immigrants for the housing crisis, the BBC reports in it but the companies like Blackstone, who buy up vast swaths of Britain’s housing to rent, rarely, if ever, get mentioned.

It’s true that the media are a problem but that’s not to say immigration doesn’t also cause problems with housing. Last year (2023) there was a net 685,000 more people in the UK. That’s a ridiculous amount of people who need housing. I can say from experience that it’s an utter nightmare finding anywhere at all to live, and was so even before those hundreds of thousands of people turned up.

NPTO?

I really hope they are able to be effective with a “busting the gangs” strategy

No strategy to bust gangs is going to work while governments, including Starmer’s Labour government, insist on putting £10 billion a year into the hands of criminals through drug prohibition.

we all know how it ended

It ended?
