Emma Barnett is not a journalist. She’s a political zealot disguised as one. Plucked from such politically neutral places as the Torygraph & Sunday Times, promoted way above her competence because her ideology fits Tory Tim’s to a ☕️
I find the astonishment being expressed in defence of billionaires here extraordinary, really. I don't think it's outrageous or even radical to aspire to live in a society without excessive wealth, any more than it is to aspire to a society without excessive poverty. (1/2)

Not a good look Stand Up to Racism
There is a reason Anarchists warn you about SUTR*. If it's not usurping established call outs, holding performative displays, peace policing and shutting down autonomous action, it's this shite. (Picked this up in a group, not sure where it's from, if anoyone knows OP/context?)
