The cruelty isn't the point, power is: the power to use other people in cruel ways, to be sure, but also the power to float above other people's pain, sorrow and concern. The rich dream of a world where "personal responsibility" is code for "total lack of empathy."

Everyone should also know about the relationship between sophisticated & near invisible corporate propaganda & the neoliberal policies embraced by successive UK Govts for the last forty years, which have led to the multiple crises in Britain & beyond.

🔴 REVEALED: Train companies paid out nearly £800m to shareholders last year before telling rail unions that employees must take a real-terms pay cut for them to stay afloat https://bit.ly/3zZ9Yug

British Airways used the pandemic as cover for a massive fire and rehire scheme, which cut workers' pay by 10%.
Then when you factor in inflation knocking another 10% off the value of their payslips? No wonder they're going on strike! https://twitter.com/SkyNewsBreak/status/1539968572016828416

As surprising as it is, and as much fun as it is, to see a working class man with the rhetorical skills to show up these wooden-tops, the real question is why does our media (and indeed our country) function in this manner
