Oh this is exactly what I expect from the sun. Plus one vote from me on banning them.
Publications that can’t describe things even close to neutrally and factually should be forbidden by law to cover real conflicts.
The authoritarian left and the liberal left have so little in common that it’s frustrating the term “left” encompasses both.
“Fear the brown foreigners.” expanded to 2000 words and with some fact-inspired stuff shoved in sideways.
This is Stochastic Violence and the Sun can get fucked. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_terrorism
Assuming you are not trolling:
The Sun is being criticized for:
Let’s say I want to report on “Police finds wanted man hiding in sofa” (currently on BBC with that headline)
My hateful newspaper do a quick check of his Twitter, and go with “Wanted criminal TRANS ALLY found CRAWLING inside leather furniture”
It is indeed a systemic issue, but his government is the strongest player in making sure this system is strenghtened rather than weakened.
In addition to all the bad stuff, there has also been more and more people pushing to make things better: Reduce laws and influence from religious fundamentalists, return land claimed by settlers and spread an understanding that they are doing evil, peace and trade with neighboring countries, etc.
And he is afraid of them. That is why he is trying to move to what is practically a dictatorship and go into perpetual war.
With the current government gone, there is at least hope that the non-fundamentalist politics can take the wheel.
I’m stretching the word “hope” to near breaking point here, I know. It would go from “impossible” to merely “impossibly hard with decades of hard concessions” to fix things.
There are other, more introspective, ways to react to widespread and ongoing negative reception.
Norwegian here. Blame entirely justified. Our greenwashing is gross and dishonest.
Gossip, not news.
You and what army?
Thanks for answering! I was afraid it would be taken as sarcasm but I genuinely wanted to know.
If you were to give an estimate: How many of the people fundamentally disagreeing with you online are rational and honest people, and how many are US federal agents or in their employ? Percentage-wise.
It’s like a strawman made from artificial grass.
Also in article, Elon Musk shits himself loudly again hoping someone will pay attention to him.
It’s a shit voting system. But the election is happening. How to effect a mass general strike large enough to change the voting system and introduce a new candidate with a chance of winning within two months?
Because that is needed in order to safely tell people not to vote.
In real, actionable, practical terms: What is the alternative you propose people choose, that will reduce the likelyhood of a fascist government right now at this election?
That is a valid question in isolation, but bringing it up in discussions on where to vote is not leading to discussions or actionable improvements. It only functions to push voter disenfrachisement.
Not saying it’s your intention, but it is your effect.
Voting least bad is important. Don’t discourage it.
Working for better voting options is also important. Do push for that too, but find a constructive setting for it.
My new political platform will be like Fascism but built on demonizing the dead instead of living minorities. They are easy targets. Buncha freeloaders.
That’s an unnecessary loaded headline.
He is offering to hire a professional team to dig it out at no cost, plus reimburse the city with £41 million for the trouble, and the post title makes him sound like an entitled baby demanding the city fixes his problems.
