General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Nah. I refuse to buy into the system. Eat shit and die, capitalist.

Labor is not exclusive to capitalism dumbass

That your default insult is “get a job” is telling. You want my labor value but you don’t want my free will. What you’d like is for me to be so invested in expending my labor elsewhere I don’t have the time or energy to question and confront you and your values. Not gonna happen.

I’ll provide my labor when and where I see fit and to causes I feel are worthy of the effort, not because some random person on the internet demands it or attempts to undercut my argument by implying making it is a misuse of my time. Like all people, I am free to do with my existence as I please, when I please, and while I value what we can achieve together as a society, it’s still a mass of individuals and not a mindless collective. You keep taking the time to respond, why are you here saying “get a job” and not focused on your own “job”?

I’m aware you don’t care, that’s why I’m here to remind you and everyone else that you don’t actually care about individuals, only what they can provide.
