I mean nothing wrong with making privileged teens work in some shit job for a while. Rather than never doing remotely difficult work (even a shit fast food job) breeds the most ghoulish boug children.

Obviously not kids, but 17-20 is prime time for this shit

There is 0% chance any policy championed by the likes of Clarkson would primarily inconvenience the rich and privileged.

Let's be real if this law ever passes it'll gatekeep social housing and the NHS behind hard labor on a farm or some shit. Rich kids will just ignore it or there'll be a carveout for college or something.

Search your feelings, you know this to be true.

Oh no I know, but acknowledging the dignity of all labor (and educating everyone on it through some kind of youth service) is something we should push for.

He's not the torchbearer, but that doesn't mean we can't use him to potentially get people on our side by simply stating that this kind of thing is good and that it should be more general.

Btw I'm not familiar with brit politics, just clarkkksson as a piece of shit.

Idk, I feel like the same kind of caution you'd have to apply towards MAGA communists and Nazbols also applies here. You might get more support in the short term, but at the cost of forever tainting your movement with their bullshit.

Caution I think is the right word. It's like, if there's an opportunity to convince someone who's a worker who is like "wow that Clarkson has good ideas about national service," we should educate them that he's drafting our (better) ideas.

ON TONIGHT'S PROGRAM, we explore "accelerationism with Jeremy Clarkson characteristics," James May joins Train Gang, and Richard Hammond test drives a combine harvester around the Nürburgring

Richard Hammond test drives a combine harvester around the Nürburgring

Ironically, one of the safest circuits he's driven

Yea this take happens to coincide with him buying a farm to cosplay as working class.

This isn't "Young people should gain a work ethic and appreciation for the people that hold up society" this is "I should be able to make bratty teens work for me for free and honestly rhe government should probablly pay me for the oppurtunity"
