@protecttruth absolutely - the fascist manipulators of the uneducated and the disenfranchised just use it as a dog whistle to stir up "passion" (inevitably manifesting in violence)
Freedom from Want is so eloquently discussed here by #DarrenMcGarvey in his compelling #ReifLecture for the #BBC

16 followers · 99 posts · Server home.social#DarrenMcGarvey offers a phenomenally nuanced perspective on the necessity for personal responsibility and recognising the need for any civilized society to provide for the truly needy. What I found utterly compelling (and somewhat alarming) is how progressives and so-called libertarians claim him as their own.

Seonaidh 🏴 · @MacNaBracha
293 followers · 387 posts · Server mastodon.scotHave been listening to #DarrenMcGarvey 's audiobook of The Social Distance Between Us. It's a long but compelling listen. Well written and narrated by Darren himself. Despite my own father coming from grinding poverty and my own work with kids in a deprived area, this is a fascinating insight into how and why the UK has it wrong.
And aye, #ScottishIndependence would be a chance to close the gap and start anew.
