What the fuck do we do about all the propaganda

Genuinely, what the fuck do we do?

The UK has a mind-numbing propaganda problem and I don't think we can get anywhere without solving it.

The two most striking examples are the sustained campaigns agains trans people and immigrants. Immigrants have always been a punching bag for dipshits, a tide of mewling hatred that ebbs and flows and never really disappears. We take it for granted and we really shouldn't.

When you ask people what political problems face the country right now, immigration comes out on top. But when you ask people what problems they face in their own lives, immigration barely features. Stagnant wages, high energy bills, NHS waiting lists – those are the actual issues.

This is not new. When people are struggling they want comfort. It's comforting to blame someone. It's comforting to blame someone with less power than you. Blaming immigrants offers the false promise of a simple solution, we go back to it again and again.

But the propaganda against trans people, while not new exactly, has grown and morphed dramatically in a really short amount of time.
