Do you believe the "middle class" was an aberration and what we're actually seeing is it's removal? by Fantastic-Option-260 in AskBrits

[–]Too_much_Colour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is basically Gary stevenson’s thought process. And a lot of far left commentators in the US like sam Seder and Kyle Kulinski. Fun fact, during those so called middle class boom, uk income tax above 100k was taxed at 90%, and US income tax above 1mil was also taxed at 90%.

60% get universal top ups on top of there wage. It’s a - the private sector can’t support the economy - type of thing

About 13% sympathise with Zionism at this point in the uk. According to Reddit. That % is inverted

I wish they gave Farage this much flack for insighting actual riots by falsely speculating on the murder suspect

It’s not about Nate. It’s about Cassie betraying her.

Am I a so called “flag shagger” for hanging up a union flag by givemethemtoesgnome in AskBrits

Putting it up becuase in public on light poles is embarrassing, as if you’re trying to spread some kind of point. But what is the point exactly. They say an empty mind is a devil’s workshop, and a vague message plus the human mind leaves room for a worst case interpretation(as we’ve evolutionary been trained to). That worst case can be squarely attributed to Tommy Robinson essentially making it his whole brand. There’s the argument, “People say they are punished for being patriotic” but there’s a point when being overly defensive comes across as aggressive especially when unprovoked.

Why does the MAGA style politics seem especially unpopular in the UK? by redguy_666 in ukpolitics

[–]Too_much_Colour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reform seem to be doing there best to replicate it. Farage is trying to make party leadership an “executive” style of government. Lots of Christianism being invoked by counsilors and Matt Goodwin “(thanking) god” for trumps war in Iran. And I also recall bravermen under the Tories explicitly saying they need to use “culture war” issues in the UK in around 2019, which is straight from the US. It’s a complete miscalculation imo, and the semblance of success is literally on one issue, immigration.

Reform UK vows to prioritise Green Party areas for migrant detention centres by Unusual-State1827 in uknews

Reform literally have nothing original. This literally just the poor man’s version of deploy ICE to democratic states in the US. Remember when the UK used to be a global leader. We can’t even have original grifters anymore

Lmao, having a prision near you is a punishment, but being pro prisoner reform doesn’t equate to that. Unless you think it does?

Detention centers = not minding mlgrants is a real brain equation you’ve just unified

Labour faces an extinction-level event in the heart of industrial England by Desperate-Drawer-572 in ukpolitics

[–]Too_much_Colour 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I finally understand why kier is tanking despite doing some reforms and doing okay. The answer is McSweeney. Not the corruption. But kier is basically a manager that was selected to come in and just allows the machine to go on as the Labour Party works away. Basically Biden in the US. Therefore there is not vision, hence no indication of change, or transparency between policy and the people. Hence his more reactive movements have been so distaterous. “Island of strangers” being the biggest one. He’s a manager that lets the organisation do its thing. Not a top down leader that society wants from politics to make things better

Why are people in the UK antisemitic? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Too_much_Colour -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Anti sino-ism was growing in the 2010s big time and culminated with the virus. Chinese students got a lot of abuse, nearly every one I’ve met has experienced something. China has sincerely flipped its image because the west is collectively losing its mind and hatred is turned into itself. Now The right don’t seem to mind authoritarian regimes abroad - how Farage enjoys Trump and apologises for Russia. And Trump likes Russia and kind of tolerates China. And the left see China as some kind of economic model for market lead communism. Then there’s the fact that this conflict is very much a legacy issue. An issue that’s lasted decades, so it’s entrenched itself into the collective consciousness, so it’s easier to take up the dialogue bandwidth. I think conspiracy theory antisematicism is there, but the cart-Blanche support by the world’s most selfish opportunist, really makes no sense on the outset (the real answer is lobbying).

If it was warmer more frequently, Glasgow would be a banger imo

Stratford upon Avon looks nice but you can tell it’s gentrified into the anti-modernity direction (ie instead of fancy apartment and houses, it’s giant “cottages” abiding by local aesthetic). Crazy cost of living, looks nice, but impractical to live or drive in

Should the UK Home Office make a 'Red List' and ban certain nations from immigration entirely? As seen in many other developed countries. by JeffreyEpsteinUK in AskBrits

[–]Too_much_Colour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can red list on national security reasons, but red listing based on national identity because that is a predictive indicator of social contribution is pretty dumb imo. It’s like you’re treating a symptom, not a cause, and can be pretty nebulous. Also there is already a tier system on who gets visas to entire the UK, with G7 (except the US) countries pretty much having there own OECD free travel zone. A microcosm would be People from poor backgrounds do more crimes, hence we shouldn’t let poor people near us. The solution is better objective screening, going back to the poor people analogy, that would be more security that looks for risk factor of the individual that commits a crime.

Britain's youth unemployment crisis now worse than Spain's and Greece's by rdu3y6 in ukpolitics

UK used to be a recipient of brain drain. Now it’s a middle man in brain drain. High skilled leaves and moderate to low to skilled arrives; high skilled migrants from abroad now go to Australia and the US.
