my economic views (Britain needs to become protectionist and fully embrace coal) are probably held by such an insanely extreme minority I can't even estimate just how small the amount of people who share them. you literally need a double contrarianism combo where you reject BOTH climate change *and* liberal free trade as being bullshit evil fake lies in order to arrive at them
there are probably people who think this way, but it feels like it's just me
@skells the entire working class and most of the country blame Thatcher for deindustrialisation, but the real reason was the economic pact that was set up at the end of WW2 that made the UK economically subservient to the US and forced us to dismantle the imperial preference tariff scheme we set up in the 30s. Churchill is really to blame for the death of Britain, but doing that would threaten the boomer truth regime so it never happens. we all have to pretend this fat evil fuck who destroyed our future is really some kind of epic hero
@augustus a lot of truth there, but without Churchill we'd have joined Vichy without a jackboot hitting the beaches
Kinda surprised he staged a comeback after Gallipoli tbh
