Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

[ChesterBlue]

I've had to hold off replying to him all day. And you are right, it is just a collection of things with nothing in common. "R.I.P. United Kingdom You are too soft." Bizarre

Funniest part is him calling the UK too soft, then listing the harsh living conditions most people have to live with lol

This was the post on my FB this morning from one of those very people::

R.I.P. United Kingdom You are too soft. You raised the cost of living so high that both parents are always at work, rather than spending time with their children. You took God out of schools. Parents were told 'No you can't discipline your kids'. Well, United Kingdom You shall reap what you sow, and we have lost a whole generation and turned them into rude, selfish, disrespectful brats who have no respect for people, property or authority! You deemed people with terminal illnesses and some with only a few months to live…fit for work!!! You allow our veterans of war to go homeless and hungry but give out millions to foreign aid!!! You stop people’s entitlement to welfare benefits thus leaving them so desperate that they commit suicide!! You bend over backwards to be politically correct, too scared to say enough is enough, in case you offend. You put the retirement age up so people must work until they drop!! People depend on handouts and food banks, whilst we give aid to others. Our retired generation rely on inadequate state pensions, their thanks for working hard. Things need to change!
Copy & paste if you have the guts too!!!


It is a work of art in itself

This isn’t an uncommon view point. Heard it plenty of times. People blaming foreign aid and foreigners, when in truth, they should be blaming failed governance.

What's he doing in school? Surely he knows everything already? Weirdos.

Court mandated he had to learn physics after the debacle where he tried to force 2 of every creature on the earth onto a boat

Yeah, it's the classic "you have nothing and you know why? The people you imagine to not be like you are taking it and denying you what is yours".

This is the truth and they've been fooled into blaming everyone but.

You can say that but people have also chosen to believe this despite any evidence to the contrary

So the quintessential Tory voter.

One of those copy/paste things. I have seen that posted by someone on my friends list here in Oz who is from the UK.

 

[Charro]

Don’t know why people bother with Facebook.

Twitter is bad enough but Facebook always seems to be even worse.

I’ve seen families fall out over things that have been posted on Facebook. Not worth it really is it.

Yep, it makes it worse imo, these people are not even questioning the source, just hitting like and share and it moves on. Social media is insane

A lot of what stuff people post is lies.

A crappy photo with a list of statements that are not correct and its rinse and repeat.

I saw one about Angela Raynor yesterday saying she can't manage her own business accounts and how can the country trust Labour with the countries finances.

Upon further inspection the account she setup to fund her deputy leadership bid was in the red for 160 quid.

It's amazing

Absolutely, and, as is so often witnessed on here even, rumour becomes fact very quickly.

I don't know how we get out of this, entire demographics political and thought process' being influenced by a bot somewhere. Very difficult to control
