United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, 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.
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.

The Crunchy-to-Alt-Right Pipeline isn't a long one and it shouldn't be too big a surprise considering the Volkish movement that laid a lot of the groundwork for the Nazis had a lot of people involved in ideas of health, subsistence agriculture and the occult.
From Wikipedia:
It's absolutely bonkers to me that it always boils down to antisemitism at some point along the way. It's always misogyny, LGBTQ+ phobia, racism, and antisemitism. The last one always tends to tag along on the tail-end of the others, like it'll start off as "trans people preying on children" going into "building shadow governments to take over the world" and then it's always "funded by the jews."
It doesn't make any sense to me. Why specifically jewish people?
People promoting an us vs them narrative tap into a primal tribal undercurrent - migrants, Jews, various colours of skin over the years, the Irish, Gypsies, an on and on. Often it's less important who, just as long as you have someone to blame.
