This take is pretty gross. People are allowed to have families, and those families should be safe.

Oh gosh, an occupied country wants independence, this has never happened before.

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.

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".

Why are you doing 7 hours of homework as an adult?

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've mentioned this before but I worked at a zoo and we provided all kinds of plants to primates that were medicinal for just this reason, they're very clever and often treat their illnesses before the keepers even know they're sick. Not just great apes either, capuchins and lemurs that aren't nearly as bright do it too.
