What on Earth is going on in the world today? It's gone mad

[britbox]

This is both creepy and not unexpected. I wonder if @britbox knows anything on this?

That was a few weeks ago. It got no mainstream news coverage but if anybody so much as sneezes outside a mosque or synagogue then it's plastered on the news cycle 24/7. Anyone still believing mainstream news in this day and age needs a good shake!

As for why this is happening... Agenda 2030. You destroy the old order to bring in the new. Every country on the planet has signed up to it. Yes, even those countries people think are "enemies". All a stage. Has anybody on here actually gone onto the UN or WEF websites and gone through the policies and aims yet? It's not like it hasn't been suggested for the last five years or so.... then people may stop being surprised and bewildered as realities change... there is nothing grass roots about any of it, all top down.

I’ve seen videos of large gatherings like this in Times Square, Norway, Turin. If you pray in public with a rosary beads you’ll be put in the tower. People are idiots if they think uncontrolled immigration from the ME is “diversity” and nothing more sinister. Idiots. It’s a catastrophe and an uncontrolled riot waiting to happen.

Meanwhile, why are these “activists” always masked and culturally appropriating the scarf?

Jews being stopped from entering Yale..

Oh, I don't disagree mate. Except I think that is all intended to generate the response.

The fascinating thing about Andrew Tate is that mixed in with all the nonsense he actually makes a spark of sense some of the time. This is what is so dangerous about the era we live in right now. I thought you would find this quite interesting @britbox Let me know your thoughts!

He's right on all those counts mate. I was told a lot of this stuff in the 80s but wasn't in a position to evaluate it - neither did I want to at the time. However, the stuff I was told then has all come true and there is a mass awakening on so many fronts - finance, law, governance, health... and all these groups are cross-pollinating. The thing with all this is that once your eyes are truly opened then they will never shut again.... and we're now in the millions, not just a few crazies.

What Andrew Tate doesn't offer is solutions. He seemed to spring up out of nowhere a few years so I'd suggest he's likely a gatekeeper of sorts.

I've been following this guy for the last few years - Michael Tellinger who is all over the money side of things:

He created his own promissory notes to pay corporate debts - using the banks own methods against them.



He has lots of good ideas for building new systems, and has a lot of people onboard - there are many others like him.

Because we are born into the system we kind of accept it. I mean if we look at mortgages and how the money works then it's just a massive fraud.

This is very interesting. I noticed on Google there’s an AI answer given at the top of most searches, but I never heard of Google Zero, which is the moment when Google becomes an answer machine instead of simply a search engine - and stops sending searchers to third party websites. Naturally, there will be terrible consequences:

WTF is Google Zero?

Coined by The Verge’s Nilay Patel in 2024, the term refers to the moment when Google stops functioning as a gateway to the web and fully acknowledges being an answer engine. The shift is being driven by AI Overviews — Google’s generative summaries that appear before traditional results. They offer just enough context to satisfy a query without sending the user anywhere. The more accurate and prominent these responses get, the fewer clicks make it out. For publishers that means fewer referrals — and in some cases, none at all…

The fallout is already visible. Business Insider, which recently laid off 21% of its staff, has seen organic search traffic drop by 55%, according to The Wall Street Journal. Naturally, ad dollars are shifting in response. eMarketer predicts that by 2029%, U.S. advertisers will shift over $25 billion — around 14% of total search budgets — into AI-powered search. CMOs see where this is going.

This man did a stupid and horrible thing. But what’s the cause of the international malice and anger that decided to hound him in work and threaten his life and livelihood?

We really are living in times of great boredom. The comment section is always where the action is, and certainly in this case, so many heroic and noble souls have proven how “good” they are.

Someone will kill themselves someday over something stupid like this, and the original pitchfork mob will have forgotten what happened.

I have zero pity for this guy mate. What he did was wrong and dumb. And when he was identified his first thought was to threaten legal action, so clearly he wasn't sorry. Only when his business was threatened did he back down. This is the world we live in now. If you do a-hole things, and act like you're proud of it, don't be shocked that people don't want to have anything to do with you. He fucked around and found out!

Yeah I agree but people were like the worst of the worst, wishing him death, saying he should lose his job, his home, his family. We have no sense of proportion on the internet. But yeah, he doubled down, as big a clown as the trolls. I despair of people, sometimes..

there will always be keyboard warriors. See most of them in meat-space and you'll be shocked how timid they are

Exactly!

There’s an excellent book by the journalist Jon Ronson called “So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed” about internet backlash culture, written as long ago as 2015. He hunted down people whose lives have been ruined by cancel culture. One example is the girl who tweeted a joke in private group with friends before she’d took off in a ten hour flight to India, I think. A friend in the group outshared the joke and by the time the plane landed, the girl had lost her job and the mob weren’t even finished with her.

Another is the journalist Jonah Lehrer who misattributed a quote to Bob Dylan. Somebody in all innocence asked for the source of the quote..and a thread was made lose in Lehrer’s comfort blanket and his life unraveled, with his attempt at redemption playing out like an episode of Black Mirror.

It’s an incredible book, hard to believe and easy to believe too, unfortunately. People behaving like termites..

for sure the internet is a dangerous place. I don't think we're really equipped to deal with it still, truth be told

Remember the guy on Twitter who was hounding the British boxer Curtis Woodhouse?

English Boxer Tracks Down Twitter Troll, Shows Up At His Doorstep To Confront Him

Curtis Woodhouse isn't the first professional athlete to be harassed on Twitter, but the British boxer may be the first to flip the script on a keyboard warrior

www.si.com

Then of course, you do get a few who are actually so delusional that they believe what they are saying. That Boxing troll Charlie Z who used to turn up at gyms throwing cheap shots at pro boxers.

this is actually quite interesting... and hella disturbing..

Have you seen the baseball Karen? Look what they did to her

Yeah I saw that incident but not this meme. She’s now toast. Gollum gal!

To all those idiots trying to appease Russia, and claim Ukraine was somehow at fault for provoking Russia, what's their excuse for these recent Russian drone incursions into Poland? I hope the Idiot in Chief Trump starts to finally understand what Chamberlain never did. Play nice with a tyrant and they'll only think you're weak!

Yeah. Like we were saying last week, to understand what Putin wants, just listen to what he says. He’s quite explicit about his life aims. He’s a tyrant living his best tyrannical life…

This should hands down be the biggest news this year... heck! The biggest news in the 21st century, perhaps even in human history, but I bet most folks don't even know it. Scientists have found that there was once life on Mars (there still might be, but that's not been determined). That in itself is a big deal, but if you think about it, and take it a step further, the fact that our neighbouring planet shows evidence that life once existed has profound implications in a galaxy with billions of stars and even more planets. We are probably not alone.

Can anyone give me a truthful and useful reason why these insincere attention seeking posers shouldn’t become roadkill?
