General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, 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. (These things should be publicly discussed)

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.

That is correct, fires don't happen in vacuums because fires require oxygen I am very intelligent

Is it unironic that he posts this on YouTube, one of the platforms most responsible to sending people down the far-right rabbit hole?

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think so? Makes sense to have the rebuttals to insanity on the same platform that indoctrinates people.

[–] klu9@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fair point, I hadn't thought of that.

For all the evils that YouTube's algorithm causes for the world, it's got by far the biggest reach of any video platform.
