United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.
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.
There's a fairly big gulf between civil disobedience and a revolution.
While many have described Rosa Parks' refusal to obey racial segregation laws as revolutionary it was only figuratively so, not literally. There was no intention to incite the populace to take up arms and violently overthrow the government on her part anyway.
Civil disobedience of unjust laws is exactly what we should raise our children to do, otherwise we are no different to those preWW2 Germans who turned a blind eye (noting of course that not all did, many principled stands were taken as well).
Civil disobedience against injustice is a duty, not a cause for censure, it's one of the few methods short of violent revolution that provably works.
