Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age'
mjr@infosec.pub 2 days agoWhat do you feel is “a decent minority” that could prevent it? I think I’d say that Farage’s recent poll numbers are easily sufficient, but if his latest alleged corruption is found to be real and it halves them, then I’d say that wasn’t enough to prevent class consciousness.
In other words: I really disagree with your generalisation being permanent. Things change in politics and sometimes it’s even for the better.

I honestly hope you are right. We are well overdue for change in the UK.
I just feel pretty hopeless about the whole situation as I honestly don’t feel like there has been a time in the UK where the working class were not being manipulated by politicians in conjunction with the tabloids to make out that the enemy of the working class is anyone but the rich.

You have to turn that hopelessness to motivation. I have been reading about resistance. I’m moving through anger towards determination and figuring out how I can personally contribute to change, What I can influence or control.
I defo feel more empowered.
