I feel like the UK is waking up faster to the need to tax the oligarchs than most.

I hope they also wake up to how much reactionary propaganda affects their life and that e.g. trans people just want to live.
by the way, i'm curious, what does "reactionary" even mean?
is it re-action in the sense of acting again? is it reaction in the sense of responding to somebody else's actions?
Reactionary in politics often means going "back to the good old days". Stuff like back in feudal/monarchy people used to have honor, courage, and respect. We didn't used to exploit nature. People were more happy etc. etc.
When in fact, LGBTQ rights were abysmal, rascism and slavery was the norm in "good old days".
We should criticize the current system and move further ahead not backwards
oh yeah that makes sense, thanks
My understanding is that the term means an action that happens in response to a previous action: a stranger slaps you in the face, you will very likely have some kind of response to being publicly slapped; if you don’t do anything in response to being slapped, you had no reaction.
taxing wealth instead of work is also an economically sound decision if you want to boost productivity and your economy's revenue.
As a general rule, when taxes on products are lower, that means these products cost less to the consumer, so consumers buy more of it [rule of supply and demand, also speaks about the connection between price and traded quantity]. So there's more revenue and more products sold, which boosts production.
For sure and what always get deliberately left out of the productivity metric is that, wrapped up in those figures, we include how much money has to be paid out to lazy landlords and workshy shareholders in order to get an hours work from a British person.
Essentially, the financial obesity of the super wealthy is crushing everyone below them and stifling productivity, ruining the productivity metric.
Musk turned up at a Reform rally and everyone was cool with it. We'll see
~~Racists~~ Reform voters were ok with it.
That's hella selection bias though. I'm more concerned with how many people are Reform voters (even if the majority of them aren't so deep that they'd attend a Reform rally)
If they really wanted a party that helps them they'd vote Green. Instead, they vote racist.
They're more popular than you think, and far far more organized than the totality of the left. No one's voting Conservative, Labour's circling the toilet, everyone's looking for other parties
Yeah its a little concerning seeing polls that show how popular they are. I hope its some kind of inaccurate/misleading polling but I really don't know. All I do know is my friends are clearly no way representative of the country or even the area I live in - almost all voted green.
The first three questions are answered by the last one I think.
Because they were allowed to.
Maybe, but posters go up without permission too.
There's a term for the art movement of this, Subvertising, a compound of Subvert + Advertising
But no it's the bloody immigrants arr
Because if there is a punishment, it's a small fine and nobody responsible goes to prison.
I remember reading somewhere that the Irish "low tax" area was deliberately accepted by the EU as a sort of reparation payments for the irish potato famine, which was largely caused by english politics.
but idk whether that's actually true or just a rumor.
The Irish aren’t getting that much tax revenue from the big corpos either tbh. Everyone loses here IMO
Yeah, My last company setup an office in Dublin as a tax haven. It gave them a hundred jobs, but they payed jack all in taxes while funneling hundreds of millions home.
