Instead of "reds under the bed", it's "there's a bogeyman at the door"

It's also an accessibility feature so people don't have to do the invariable up and down from kerbs into the road when using mobility aids or pushchairs with kids/shopping etc

One problem no one has mentioned, is that it also makes life a lot harder for homeless people.

But to those who organise those systems, they're not consumers with disposable income or a credit line to spend. They are happy for them to fall through the cracks and people not using cash penalises them further by eradicating charity and widening divisions.

It is functioning as designed.

I never experience that when cycling in Europe, only in the UK but then Europeans don't have that culture war bullshit of "the war on motorists" that's leaned into heavily by the right wing press.

The DM will now go into overdrive for the next 5 years. Nothing they love more than being opposed to the party in power, accusing them of failing while taking no responsibility for creating the environment they created themselves

I'm pretty sure that dropping a 2000lb bomb on a refugee camp is deliberate.

Is this what he's like when none of male prostitutes around Washington will go near him anymore?

Western SM is already in the pocket of the state and any content that goes against their values is suppressed.

Pro-Palestinian content on Tiktok can easily get traction and receive over hundreds of thousands, if not millions of views.

Considering that younger people are not watching regular media news, channels like fox just do not have comparative reach and they aren't buying into the zionist propaganda like previous generations.

There are a lot of content creators who are articulate, succinct and organisation has come out of it. People have created sites & apps that list all corporations and products to boycott because of their support for Israel and it's had an impact.

Sure, TTs algorithm can easily push you down unpleasant rabbit holes but that's the nature of algorithms, not just specific to TT.

So there might be similar content on western SM but it's being held down and isn't showing on people feed 'organically'.

One of them was already jailed back in 2021 and the others were awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty

Testimonies coming out now paintt the attack in a different light:

Residents of the kibbutz said that Hamas fighters told them not to be afraid as they were there to fight the IDF, and they state they were not harmed by Hamas.

In fact, they state that the Israeli military fired so much and so indiscriminately that it is very likely the high number of casualties were down to them.

Footage emerging shows Apache helicopters absolutely obliterating everything at the festival and the photos of the damaged vehicles could not have been caused by the weaponry that the Hamad fighters were armed with.

More than half of the original figure of 1600 killed were IDF, with that total being revised down to 1200 with only 1 child under 5.

You've been fed bullshit by a military that has a long track record for lying though it's teeth and bought into them hook line & sinker

British WW1 propaganda was that the Germans eat babies so it's a regular thing to use

If the end goal of either side isnt the redistribution of the countries wealth, increasing health, education and housing programs then they can both get fucked
