Yup, people are underestimating the threat of these kinds of conspiracies thinking only dumb people fall for them. I’m sure if challenged, that engineer would think you’re too dumb to understand his new views.

No, that’s something you learn at school. It’s not something you’re born with.

That’s a really simplistic take. He’s an intelligent man but he’s fallen into an echo chamber of nonsense, it’s easy to say that only dumb as shit people are radicalised but just look around, that’s bullshit.

I don’t understand how so many people would VOTE for someone who reliable falls for and promotes so very many obvious conspiracies.

They don’t think it’s conspiracies though, my brother has recently fallen down this hole and he’s fully convinced that all the papers are complete lies, TV news is just fiction, and he knows what’s really going on. In this world millions of kids are being sold to hollywood sex rings and Biden is covering it up, and they’re terrified that their kids will be next. They believe everything he says.

While this is an interesting article, I feel like in the current state of twitter Alt right accounts are promoted whatever you like. When I was on it I followed feminist type pages, local news, some left wing comedians, I was still frequently offered Andrew Tate and the like.

Awful woman

My local nextdoor has an issue with non white people in vans. Like normal builders eating their lunch and Sharon down the road is posting “Anyone know why this man is here? Stayed there for 45 minutes, very suspicious, might be stealing dogs”.

While I see the good bits of Proportional Representation, it does give extremism a foot in the door. Remember this is the voting pattern in a FPTP system, one of the tabloids even encouraged reform voters to switch to the Tories because of tactical voting. Changing the voting system gives these far right anti human rights parties a much better chance.

I’m always surprised by governments who keep the same leader for a long time. In the UK we got 3 in a year once, none of them do a full term, or not for a long while.

She tried calling the dog, then used an electric collar, and NOTHING worked?? Those are two things that are known not to work, she hasnt even made a tiny attempt to train the dog, then got annoyed when a hunting dog, specifically a bird dog, wasn’t safe around birds.

So what you’re telling me is she’s incredibly stupid as well as evil?
