Researcher Clarke suggests that left politics is often characterised by “a form of tribalism, which treats the political spectrum as a moral spectrum. This approach assumes the left is where virtue lies, and that self-interest and spite are the only reasons why anyone would take a different view.”

    I'm guessing you didn't read the article?

      And yet I take the time to read the articles. Or at least to click through. Before commenting.

      That's because it's part of your job as a paid social media influencer. You've got all the time in the world, being paid to post.

      You think a paid social media influencer would spend time on a thread where at most 10 people are going to read it?

      That's your analysis?

      What a blatantly wrong line of reasoning. Are there any opinions that you have that aren't obviously wrong and stupid, or should I just pop you on ignore?

      So, how do you know Saidit readership, and that it's not worth spending influencer time on? Who among us is familiar with what's worth deploying paid trolls on? That's a pretty suspicious take.

        I'm talking about the article that this thread links to. Which is about the current British Labour party. And nothing to do with your comment.
