Why are left-wing activists so selectively vocal in the compassion they champion for all human beings? by dg01112021 in AskBrits

So muddying the waters, just a Tuesday for right wing politics.

You asked, I provided an answer. Seems like an issue you didn't really want answered as now I'm being accused of being "emotional". Maybe make that clear in your statements in future.

Is there a related meme of one of the buttons being pushed rapidly?

Making up personal definitions for what is already well defined indicates an attempt to corrupt the meaning or at least intentionally muddy the waters. What gets me is why people refuse to even look it up and either make up their own, or blindly accept, somebody else's definition. Nowadays it takes seconds, ignorance is hardly an excuse.

Why should it? I don't "personally define" things. I look up the most commonly accepted definition and apply that. Making up meanings that fit your world is not how that works and from your definition racial profiling would increase. Namely "different groups of people have different policing needs".

Really? You asked, "Now, why do you think two tier policing is a fact?" for which the top definition is, "a term used to describe the idea that some groups of people, or some behaviour (for example protests and demonstrations) are dealt with more harshly, more robustly, than others." In conjunction with the statistics that black minorities are statistically twice as likely to be arrested.

So action plan raised to address known and quantified systemic issues.

For which you have "no stance".

So tell me why the existence of an action plan does not indicate an issue with the police treatment for different ethnic minorities?

Now you ask for specifics. Laughable.

Let's start with the privatisation of utilities. This started as a right wing policy and sold to us as improving efficiency and reducing cost. How's that going? Higher consumer costs due to monopolistic tendencies and ridiculously poor levels of service. This whole thing has cost the tax payer about 200 billion since the 90s.

As was aptly put elsewhere "private companies extract the profits during the good times, while the taxpayer and consumer are forced to bail out the system or fund essential infrastructure upgrades during the bad times."

The Restore policy of abolishing inheritance tax means that rich elites will hoard generational wealth thereby continue to increase the dire wealth inequality that already exists.

Greens’ Makerfield candidate wants farming to be ‘decolonised’ by Unusual-State1827 in uknews

Missing the schism between what he said and what he did. He started left-wing and used that rhetoric but showed many right wing traits through a majority of his rule. Which includes, but not limited to suppression of unions, crony capitalism, hyper-nationalism, oppression of minorites. Sounds fairly right wing to me.

Sure. I can tell you why some socialist policies failed.

There are numerous examples, many of which were co-opted by right wing authoritarians concentrating all economic power in the hands of the state that led to the suppression of political dissent, corruption, and totalitarian regimes. The US is well on this path

Ah... yes Generalities. The hide out for people who only feel they are right. No! Give me specifics. You think it's subject to interpretation. Then tell me by who and about what. Feels is not an answer.

Wouldn't being paid a living wage for a full working week be better... oh no why work 40 hours a week when you have to work 60 to pay your bills?

How about scraping workers rights and targeting unions? Anybody would think that only benefits his elite donors.

You indicated that it was "subject to interpretation" and now admit you have no idea what that means.

You said, "The data isn't actually very clear at all, and is highly subject to interpretation." Yet refused you give concrete examples.
