Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

That's an interesting contrast to the new polls out of the US

American media gives the impression of the public being far more progressive than it actually is

British media on the otherhand gives the impression of the public being far more conservative than it actually is

But the most interesting element is the proportion of white people; 76% UK vs 62% US, in other words further confirmation of the unique class character of settler colonialism and it's vicious inherent drive toward fascism

Or for the fact that propaganda in the USA is working better, of for the fact that the war against organisations of the working class in the USA was more succesfull.

48 per cent) of those aged 18 to 27 thought that Britain was a racist country

Now, how many brits think that, but also think that it should be even more racist? We're living through times where people are celebrating that they don't have to pretend to care about minorities anymore.

I've thought about that to, but I don't believe that this fenomenon is big enough to have such an impact on a nationwide poll. Every racist I've ever met in my life, vehemently denies to be a racist. Plus, this hypotheses isn't in agreement with the results on all the other questions.
