I thought they were opposed to "hand outs".

Also feeds into the boomer narrative that their children exist to support them when they get old

I've talked on the verse about having a malignant narcissist for a mother and how our society is so busy worshipping mothers, that it doesn't stop to think some of us haven't got one. Or had one who was awful.

Pay attention around Mother's Day. All the ads, all the products, all the social media about how she gave you everything, how she's a hero, how she's done everything and would do anything for you.

Writers trying to capitalize on what some people don't have is so evil. I hope tat Simone never sees this.

Here is a fun narrative I imagine when I see stuff like this.

Some poor asshole who is struggling to pay off student loans and thus has no luxury in job opportunities, sadly accepts a job as a rag company like this. Their boss, who lives in similar conditions sadly tells them that they need to write a hit piece of Simone for "corporate overlords demand a blood sacrifice" both the writer and manager hate themselves in this interaction. Then the writer finds the article from his own company about Simone Biles parents abandoning her and feels sad he has to shit on someone who life has already shit on enough. Finishes the article, goes home, gets the alert on his phone its published, logs onto his burner account to post the context on the article he himself wrote just so he can have any level of control over his life.

Sort of like a Rube Goldberg machine of this guy

So how does the "readers added context" work? They vote for shows up?

These are the people who kept pushing stories about the "Parasitic poor" with "Entire families living of Social Security" using as example the 3 families in the whole of Britain (so a handful of people out of 67 million people) were that was actually the case and portraying it as if that was common amongst poor people.

Unsurprisingly the newspaper is owned by the 4th Viscound of Rottermere, a billionaire who inherited it and last time I checked used the Non-Domiciled legislation in the UK (which is a quite unique piece of legislation in the World that lets somebody live there but claimed to be Domiciled elsewehere for tax purposes) to pay pretty much no taxes.

Fascism in the UK is not the loud goose stepping brown shirts kind, it's extremelly wealthy people with posh education from every expensive Private Schools, often with inherited titles, using the Press to spread deceitful Propaganda about out-groups such as the poor and immigrants.

(The tendency amongst the British upper class to love core elements of Fascism, especially the idea that some people are born inherently superior to others, is pretty old - there's even a picture o the late Queen Elizabeth, back when she was a girl, being taught how to do a Nazi salute by her uncle who was the King at the time).

The "Daily Fail" living up to its tabloid name.

Since when are Birkenstocks something that people flaunt as a symbol of wealth? There are just solid, well made shoes. I have a pair that are 6 years old and it was cheaper for me to buy them than to replace a shitty knockoff every year.

'Of course I would accept her help,' Shanon told DailyMail in an exclusive interview. 'She hasn’t [offered] it so far. I’m here. I’m okay.'

She said: 'I would like to make amends with Simone personally – I'm just waiting for her and Adria. I speak to Adria more than I speak to Simone. I would just ask her to forgive me. Can we move forward? Don't judge me on my past. Let's move forward.'

impressively tone deaf. doing a tabloid interview and saying "don't judge me on my past" after your last conversations didn't work is like the pushiest and least remorseful thing you could do

Why does anyone care what she does with her money? Get a life!

You’d think she could afford a Defender instead of some poncy Chelsea tractor from all that though.

The Daily Fail...

Outrage!
