UK Politics
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.

Probably because they're written by a person who's suffered abuse. That kind of trauma leads to all sorts of artifacts in composition such as passive voice and downplaying the horror of the experience. How about we take a deep breath and don't fucking discect a SA survivors story.
I disagree with the ban but things like this do happen and it's more proof that comprehensive sex ed is more important than ever.
Yeah, but they all look the same... Its not that its off, its that its off in the exact same way that everyone else is off. Do you get me? Youre right, trauma can manifest in writing things out in weird bursts. Disjointed, weird syntax, etc etc. People usually point to being artistically powerful, rather than "weird". But its not uniform. Its not like someone experiences trauma and just starts typing this way.
Its like reading something written by AI. It looks fine, but then you start noticing that it uses the same way of writing everything. A pigeon will be inserted for some reason. An analogy or metaphor will involve "secrets". Once you see it, you cant unsee it. And its the same thing here. Ive seen this writing a million times all over reddit. And its always robotic and bullshit.
Honestly, it looked like bot talk to me too. I thought you kinda broke it down in a way that I couldn't find words for, so I appreciated it
