I am kind of a lukewarm SNP supporter right now but seeing this kind of stuff on ukpolitcs basically everyday makes me wanna say fuck it and vote for them even more lmao, also English people have some nerve after voting Conservative for 14 years.

  1. Welcome to the tribalism of politics where it takes more than a lot for a Party or its leader to lose credibility from its voters.

    Go for it

  3. The SNP are plonkers though. Life after Saint Krankie will be an interesting watch.

  4. If it’s any consolation, UKPol has been specifically molded to be the way that it is.

    Most pro-indy posters have been permabanned over the years, and even when we were on that sub it was basically severe downvoting, bad faith wall of text nonsense responses, getting comments and pro-indy articles removed by pissy mods etc

    The same treatment applies to any topic to the left of Blairite politics.

    Reddit is basically hasbara central. Always remember that.

  6. I’ve noticed in the last 8 years since the vote leading up to Brexit that anti-Scotish and Anti-Irishness has risen sharply and I first noticed it on sky news, then in comments on YouTube.

  7. Most UK subs are pretty good, but r/Britain and r/ukpolitics are cancers

    ukpolitics because they’ve become a bunch of shit edgy memelords despite UK meme subreddits already existing and r/Britain for being a bunch of echo chamber ban for differing opinions shithole, can’t even praise British police or soldiers in that sub without breaking their “bootlicking” rule and being banned.

  8. True though , although not enough mention of Palestine on any of those comments to make it onto r/Scotland

  9. I don’t really have a leg in this particular race, I’m Irish, but I am familiar enough with that sub to know it’s a complete cesspool.

    Proudly perma-banned from there for saying something not particularly flattering about Nigel Farage – probably says everything that needs to be said about the place.

  10. 1 and 2 – no. 3 – I could see some people here defending them for those actions.

    I’m not sure the people on r/ukpolitics have been voting Tory for 14 years, they seem to dislike the latter even more than this sub. That said, it does seem to have moved to the right a bit since 2021 or so (either that or I’ve moved to the left). Still, it’s not reached r/europe levels yet at least.
