Don't Look Up

I remember the early 2000s when basically 90% of all Americans were absolutely certain that jihadists were going to attack their local supermarket any minute now because Power Cable, Nebraska was such a strategic target.
Heck, there was a bomb scare because of an advertisement campaign for Aqua Teen Hunger Force that involved placing PCBs with LEDs on them that would display characters from the show. Because surely Al Quaeda would put conspicuous LED displays on their bombs.
News media want people to panic so they keep tuning in. Panicked people tend to come up with remarkably stupid scenarios like "Al Quaeda have unlimited resources and can show up anywhere to shoot people at random" or "Hamas want to take Dorcester as a strategic location to strike at Israel from".

Holy propaganda victim
victim of mass media brain rot

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
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.

Those poor paragliders
I know there's no such thing as overkill, but JFC. You're gonna need a microscope to identify the remains.

Even aside from that, I see 12 guys in the picture. If we assume this is a stock photo and the actual number was 5 times higher that's still only 60 people. If a foreign country or terrorist organization was invading you with 60 dudes in parachutes you could almost call the local shooting club and let them handle it. That's hardly worth the label "invasion".
Well, there was Operation Red Dog by 13 (3 being agents so really more like 9-10) people who tried to take over Dominica and make it a white ethnostate...

I'm not familiar with that bit of history but I'm guessing from your phrasing this was unsuccessful which reinforces my point a bit haha

Bunch of Klansmen(some who knew Ron Paul and one of those started Stormfront) really overestimated themselves, yeah. They got caught before they even left the US kinda hilariously.

Well tbf i woke that morning and saw the head lines on the news and thought what the fuck when did the cold start again. Then. Minutes I learned there is a country named Georgia

I literally had an old lady tell me that black lives matter was going to take over destroy the UK and take over Britain. Like the organisation. There are some people that are so deep in right-wing newspaper and Facebook shit that they will unironically spout something like that.
That is literally frightening. I honestly feel bad for her. That is not a good life. Pushing hate like that requires a lot of internal suffering.
Don't do social media, kids.

Paraglider pilot here. A paraglider would be literally the worst way to invade/attack/terrorist-whatever any target. You need the right wind conditions to launch (or you have to have someone tow you up, but that only gets you so high); if there are no thermals, you can’t travel any kind of distance (unless your target is on a coastal ridge with onshore wind); you pretty much have to “attack” during the day (for above reasons); you move incredibly slowly (trim speed for your average wing is around 25-3mph); and you need both hands to operate the controls (I guess you could have a tandem passenger to work the weapons or whatever, but then you’re 2 people for every one weapon you have). Paramotors (paraglider plus big ass fan) makes all of this even less ideal, since you’re still very slow moving, and you’re loud.
In conclusion, this lady is a nutcase and badly needs a hobby.
I disagree on some spots. There are electric motors for paramotors which are significantly quieter..
You could use it in the night. With still air you also don't need to have the breaks in your hands all the time.
I still wouldn't use it as an attack vehicle.

Oh no! If they take out Doncaster, who will eat all the Gregg's?

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.

I mean, we're also using social media but can still recognize that she's delusional. There's a lot of different factors contributing to people's delusions.

In Nate Bargatze’s recent standup special he talked about how he, a water meter reader at the time, was tasked with protecting his town’s water tower after 9/11. With a flashlight. He did a much better job making it funny than I can, but I remember that level of fear. “It’s called terrorism because they make you afraid they can hit anywhere!” I remember hearing.
Which is silly in retrospect, Al Qaeda only hit major, symbolic targets in the US and never did “hit anywhere.”
