I'm attending @jowolff.bsky.social event online, and I have to say, I think I may have pulled the longer straw. It's great :)

Immigrants aren’t the problem. Othering immigrants is a deliberate strategy to encourage people to hate each other rather than examine what severe wealth inequality is doing to our societies.

Every 'difficult' decision to cut welfare is at the same time a decision to leave other things - including obscene levels of surplus wealth - as they are.
'Other levers' needs to be spelled out: 🔊Tax 🔊The 🔊Richest 🔊More.
It won't hurt them, it will help millions, & fair 💰tax has public support 🎯

If you're interested in how wealth and wealth inequality are represented and what these representations contribute to campaigning or critical media content, then you could also check out this report that @michaelvaughan.bsky.social and I did for JRF: www.jrf.org.uk/narrative-ch...
Changing the narrative on wealth inequality

We find: news media tend toward images of luxury and consumption (e.g. cars + yachts); civil society have more contrasts between rich and poor. We also look at two tropes which show how tricky this domain is: ambivalent representations of the super-rich, and birds-eye aerial photography.
