“AAAHHH! Hamas are attacking… Doncaster?”
These are the same types of idiots that think they’re going to be targets of a terror attack in some small backwater town.
These types of propaganda methods really resonate with boomer types.
I remember someone that thought that they were going to be mailed anthrax back when they had the anthrax scare in the US.
-
How much anthrax do you think terrorists have that they could afford to mail it to you, a random person in the US?
-
Why do you think you’re so important that you’re going to be targeted?
You need to either be clueless or really full of yourself to think these scenarios apply to you.
The only time you’re possibly going to be caught up in something is if you’re going to an important or significant place, or you’re interacting with people much more important than you are.

Stupid ass
for a second I thought this was a fucking onion article lol
They found a photo of the leader
Dont u dare conflate hg for pg >:[

the british have to be the most over sensitive people on the planet, for some of the shit I’ve seen them complain about that made the news cycle.
How did we go from one dumb tweet picked by a “journalist”, to “what’s wrong with all the british people and why are they the most sensitive people on the planet”? 🤔
Allow me to introduce you to Americans…
Nothing real ever happens here. So me picking bits off the scab on my left knee has a good chance of making the national press.
Real talk, we have to figure out how to handle this kind of chronic fear and paranoia, because this shit ain’t normal, but it is frighteningly common.
Like yeah this is a hilariously over-the-top example, but the amount of people you and I both know who go through life genuinely thinking that they’re going to be the victim of a kidnapping or worse at any given time is astounding. And it’s not without impact either, because this is exactly the unfounded sense of fear that conservatives/fascists seize on to manipulate the population.
I don’t know the solution, but a world where everyone is afraid of their own shadow is a literal hellscape.
There were people who went out an shot at water towers during the radio airing of War of the World’s. Floridians will routinely try to make hurricanes go away by shooting at them. Police get hundreds of calls about Venus every year.
There’s no fixing this type of stupid. All we can hope for is to keep it from spreading too far.
God damnit, stop making the case for eugenics already. Let RFK’s absurd health advice do its thing, weed them out, and we can hand out the Darwin awards in a few years.
When I said no fixing I meant it. Not even genetic manipulation can fix this kind of stupid.
That’s still eugenics, just as side effect
The way to handle it is to find the “The Architects of Fear”, getting rid of them, and making sure no new ones take their place.
I don’t think you’ll ever be able to get fully rid of religion and terrorists
The solution is multi-factorial and will take a generation to implement. Expand the social safety net, expand public education to encompass critical thinking skills and researching skills, restrict private media monopolies that hold public consciousness in a deathgrip.
If I were a betting man, I’d wager this woman spends a lot of time scrolling through right-wing posts on Facebook about the “invasion” of Britain. A Brexit type, if you will.
That’s just speculation in this specific case, but the amount of fear-mongering right-wing content on social media is absolutely a contributor to this kind of worldview more broadly.
A contributor? I would call it a primary source, tbh.
Aw naw! They’re comin’ from Bradford!
That picture is not Doncaster, It’s Devils Dyke in Sussex, UK. It is facing East toward Chanctonbury Ring (furtherest hill in the distance). Behind the photographer will be a pub and a carpark. Its a drive of about 230 miles between there and Doncaster. #justsaying
Well, duh. The photo isn’t of Doncaster because it’s already fallen to Hamas.
So you’re #justsaying that the chickenshit woman is also full of regular human shit?
More likely the ‘journalist’ just grabbed a stock image (it even credits Getty Images) of paragliders.
Ah yes, because paragliders obviously are a very good invasion method. How indoctrinated do you have to be to think this???
also before i clicked the imagine i thought it was the flag of estonia of a sec
AFAIK It did happen in brittain… in ww2.
tbf,
the fact that a handful of paraglider managed to overcome one of the most advanced and well financed military on the world, through one of the most militarised and surveilled borders in the world, into one of the most militarised countries in the world, is quite impressive.
There is a trick to bypassing the Israeli defenses. Just make sure what you’re doing will be giving the unhinged leader of the genocidal regime a casus belli to launch a war of conquest that they can sell as a defensive war, and suddenly you’ll find you can do anything.
We should study her brain
Maybe, but I think there’s something much more insidious going on here than a random person with weird delusions. I think this is a symptom of the panic narrative that’s being boosted all over the world by far-right parties and candidates, social media, and incompetent - or at least misguided - news networks.
If you keep hearing about how the big evil is all around you - it’s your neighbors that looks different, your colleagues with a weird accent - and that that evil is coming to get you sooner rather than later, then when you see something that looks different than usual, what are you gonna think it is? The big evil you’ve been hearing so much about, of course.
This time, it’s some old lady thinking paragliders are Hamas, but many times it’s some other people saying “the gays” are trying to spread communism and infect the children.
This was my takeaway. Shes so spun up with fear she sees on TV she thought it possible it could show up at her door.
It would be more useful as a paper weight
Sorry to Americans, but at first I thought this must have been from the US.
Dont worry. The Brits are dumb as fuck too.
There would have been mention of some of the paragliders shot.
Don’t forget the GoFundMe for the mental anguish of arbitrarily murdering someone…
Takes me back to the early post-9/11 days where lots of random shit is terrorism. Not back to anyplace I wanted to be, but it does take me back.
I hope he can see this, because I am doing it as hard as I can.
Do you know what else terrorists use all over the world? Cars! How long will we allow these dangerous contraptions to be freely available?
So that’s why the US banned Toyota Hyluxes.
It’s not. The real reason is so much stupider. IIRC it happened partially because of eggs.
Well classical lobbying then.
Ahh that’s right. Chickens not eggs.
That depends on which came first
Don’t the chickens come on the eggs?
That’s fish.
Anyone who knows how evolution works and thinks about it for two seconds KNOWS that the egg came first.
You are now an admin on /c/fuckcars
Cars have legit gotten somewhat popular as a rampage weapon in Europe. I think knives are still number one but there’s a trend for sure.
Those poor mass murderers just couldn’t get their hands on a gun. So unfair!
