Fuckface needs consequences.
This article is slop. I read it to try to find out what was going on in the UK, and how musk was involved and there were less than two sentences about the event being covered. All the rest was about the US and how we are about to imminently fall. If you're going to make a headline like that at least explain to readers what happened. You can't assume that the entirety of your audience already knows.
So you're commenting on an article about a subject that you haven't been following. Cool.
It's the first I hear that there was even a riot in the UK. I was specifically interested in finding out musks involvement. Since the article was drawing the comparison, it's on them to actually explain what they are comparing properly. And yes, randomly finding an article is it perfectly valid way of trying to catch yourself up on a news story. If the author can't be bothered to post summary, they should at least hyperlink to something that does.
So you're upset that the title of the article accurately describe the contents, is that right? Cuz what's your describing is absolutely what the title implied. It's not an article about the UK, it's an article about the US. They do not hide that in the least.
Any article that draws a comparison like that should explain both ends of the comparison. I'm not from the uk, and while I do try to follow UK politics somewhat, there are some things that slip under my radar, like apparently a riot that Elon musk was involved with.
I'm sorry I just having trouble having any sympathy for someone who just is so willfully ignorant.
