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.

This is just so evil. The hubris and ignorance behind this shitty manifesto…

Everything about Palantir is baffling, but I just want to point out one section. It is so disgustingly self-serving. It is the ideology of a child playing king with his little friends:

“The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public"

Oh how very convenient for those despotic assholes. It’s insane for someone to articulate such blatantly self-serving discourses. And it’s even more insane how people on X will be licking Palantir’s boots gladly.

Just… gimme a sec. Gotta take a deep breath and go touch grass or something.
