    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 and 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.

        Paragliders were also used to attack civilian targets like Kfar Aza. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67065205

        Jesus, how can you read that fascist slop without vomitting:

        The residents of the Israeli border communities expected periodic rocket attacks after Hamas seized control of Gaza in 2007. They accepted the danger as the price of country life in a tight knit community which still had traces of the pioneer spirit of early Zionist communities.

        The article is full of horrific stuff like this.

                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.

                Knives are still number one because some of us can't afford a car!? Mass murder isn't the cushy gig it once was, between enshittification, inflation, corporate greed, etc.

                        My thoughts as well.

                        It makes me wonder about my own fears. How many of them were put there by propaganda?

                        For one, there's journalists picking the dumbest tweets and pretending it's news. Then screenshots of the "news" article of a dumb tweet getting propagated on other fora.

                        It's ragebate, conditioning us into a default distrust in and condescension of others.

                          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"? 🤔

                              Don't forget that in WW2 UK civilians were taught to pay attention to other peoples' shoes because of rumours of hairy-handed nuns in Fallschirmjäger issue boots. This kind of shit is nothing new.

                              There genuinely were German spies in Britain though.

                                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.

                                  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.

                                  1. How much anthrax do you think terrorists have that they could afford to mail it to you, a random person in the US?

                                  2. 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.

                                        The paragliders were used to attack Israeli military bases.

                                        You made this comment implying that paragliders were not used to attack civilian targets. Which is not true and was very easy to verify. I choose to provide a link from the BBC as it is rated as high credible and close to centre.

                                        Because I am capable of critically reading an article without blindly internalizing it's contents.

                                        But back to my original point, paragliders were used to attack civilian targets. This fact does not excuse any of the IDF's atrocities.

                                          And you said that "paragliders attacked small villages" which even even your pro-genocide suck-job excuse of an article doesn't actually reach the point of claiming.

                                          I choose to provide a link from the BBC as it is rated as high credible and close to centre.

                                          If you read that article and say "yeah, this is highly credible and close to centre", you are a fascist.

                                          Because I am capable of critically reading an article without blindly internalizing it’s contents.

                                          Clearly not, given you claimed it as "high credible and close to centre." Do you also go around 'critically reading' other openly fascist news sources?

                                          This fact does not excuse any of the IDF’s atrocities.

                                          Actually the atrocity propaganda of far right, pro-genocide propaganda outlets like the BBC is exactly what has been used to excuse the IDF's atrocities.
