@ubiquitousnewt The problem is that it's a generational curse and a result of abysmal parenting that seems unique in the UK. It won't be changing anytime soon, with our nanny state getting ever more involved.
@UltrawokeMK Hence, some of us never voted for Farage. He literally said he wanted Indians over Poles many years ago. I'd sooner vote Starmer again than Farage.
@Britgirlnuked My former friend's family took in a Ukrainian woman with open arms very shortly after the invasion. Her parents are some of the kindest people I know. The woman said to the council that they were being abused, solely so they could get a council house as quickly as possible.
@chakravartiiin The reality is these shit factories exist everywhere, unfortunately, for the lowest of society. Our local meatpacking factory is staffed almost entirely by Filipinos (it used to be staffed by Romanians and Poles). They are soul destroying at the core.
@AscendedYield It's a semblance of the classic British class system. The rich get rich. The poor stay in their place. The rich turn the poor against anyone who tries to climb the social ladder. There isn't supposed to be a middle in this system.
@RokoMijic It's a fucked system that pleases no one. Who thinks it's a good system where one works extremely hard to afford an overinflated place to live in, all to be next door to a bunch of welfare junkies?
@Theobult@JackHadders 25k is also what non-secondary school graduates with questionable pasts make in warehouses in the UK. The unfortunate reality is that the middle class is squeezed thin in the UK.
@oppynionsmyown @BMM1882 The reality is that, with deindustrialization, many working-class people in left-behind areas (not just the north, despite what some like to think) were forced to become the welfare class.
@BMM1882 Tbh I feel empathy for some of the non-working underclass. Like it or not, the majority of the younger ones were failed by absolutely everyone. That being said, there is a minority of them, while small, that genuinely aim to spend the rest of their lives on benefits.
@BastardChiton The left are just idiots. Say what you want, but they're not doing what they do out of malice, but rather just delusional suicidal empathy. They will get eaten alive when the Islamists take over the greens.
@Michaeldudufudu A mix of puberty being a genuinely awful experience alongside an identity crisis, really. More often than not, it is a combination of those two. It's also why most detransitioners are ftmtf.
@PolitlcsUK@thetimes Out of all the things the party could shift left on and the one thing Labour may do is shift left on immigration? It is an issue even most of the left that aren't young, green voting students have agreed has gone too far in the last few years.
I miss when "feminine boys" meant beautiful prince-like boys and ethereally georgeous bishonen men and not ugly gross femboys wearing amazon thigh highs and going "nyann >< its not gay to fuck my trap bussy :3"
@TheHughAnthony The left opposed immigration up until the 90s, although the rot started with the new left of the 60s and 70s. Gone were the days of labor rights; the days of identity politics had begun.
@Lewis_Brackpool Ban them all genuinely. We're supposed to be a nation of animal lovers. One of the best things about this country is our love of animals and high standard of welfare for them
@reddit_lies People like these are genuinely lost. There's no point in beating a lost person when they're already down and out. Our society failed them. We are living in an identity crisis because hyperindividualism has eliminated any sense of community or duty we have to one another.
