There are people out there, many people out there, who cannot seem to derive their own happiness from life unless it is done through the subjugation of others. Power, Control, Respect - primal tribal metrics of success that we're all susceptible to as soon as we get any inkling of it.

If you truly do not respect someone, worship them as a god until they believe that whatever small advantage they have through their dice roll of life was bestowed upon them by the universe as a result of their actions. It's hard not to sniff your own farts and see others as ants when people keep telling you how great you are

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.
