A: American dark money; Russian disinformation; vast majority of media operated by right wing; disinterest of social media platforms to prevent disinformation; and falling educational standards which result in poor critical thinking skills across vast swathes of populations.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, 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. (These things should be publicly discussed)
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.

I think the US oil companies straining every last drop, instead of jumping onto the solar/wind gravy train is incredibly short-sighted.
I genuinely think this is just China/Russia disinformation and money used to ensure that in the next energy race for supremacy, the US has its shoes tied
Those with wealth want it to be.
And recent huge increases in wealth inequality. Means no one else has the resources to override their properganda.
Because oil companies are trying to sell more oil
...because it was labelled as the reason for increasing energy prices.
Who labelled it that way? People with vested interests in the continuation of burning fossil fuels.
That and job losses, oh and some kind of left wing global conspiracy.
