Could they really get enough people to participate to exceed the cost of the Tesla?

Hell it probably would have been better to use that Tesla to just deliver the food.

On the Moral Panic page theres this pearl

After a series of high-profile dog attacks on children in the United Kingdom, the British press began to engage in a campaign against so-called dangerous dog breeds, especially pit bulls and Rottweilers, which bore all the hallmarks of a moral panic.[75][76]

This media pressure led the government to hastily introduce the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 which has been criticised as "among the worst pieces of legislation ever seen, a poorly thought-out knee-jerk reaction to tabloid headlines that was rushed through Parliament without proper scrutiny."[77] The act specifically focused on pit bulls, which were associated with the lower social strata of British society, rather than the Rottweilers and Dobermann Pinschers generally owned by richer social groups. Critics have identified the presence of social class as a factor in the dangerous dogs moral panic, with establishment anxieties about the "sub-proletarian" sector of British society displaced onto the folk devil of the "Dangerous dog".[76]

Your post reminds me of a thing I noticed...

Right-wing riots are motivated by "disinformation" and "misinformation".

View attachment 7506071
Left-wing riots are motivated by "real" issues. And notice how BLM riots do not include "looting, valdalism, arson or racist attacks", unlike rightwing riots. Yeah, all those patriotic groids looting new airs...

Love how they have to put both misinformation and disinformation to make sure the reader knows it was bad. GET IT CHUD?! DO YOU GET IT?!

Disinformation is intentional spreading of false information, misinformation lacks the knowing intent, but really much of what is called either nowadays by the media is just inconvenient facts.

Just because it's true doesn't mean it isn't disinformation - it's being told without vital surrounding context that it's actually a good thing.

Just because it's true doesn't mean it isn't disinformation - it's being told without vital surrounding context that it's actually a good thing.

That has another suitably Orwellian name: malinformation. For shit that is true but "presented without necessary context or in a bad faith way" or some shit like that.

This might just be a hunch, but maybe people were staying inside because there was a fucking tornado outside?

This might just be a hunch, but maybe people were strong inside because there was a fucking tornado outside?

The tornado deserves some credit for saving people from COVID-19.

This article is awful the first half is alright but the second is a verbatim ripoff of an Encyclopaedia Britannica article using the words "odorous principle" was perfectly fine for the turn of the last century, unacceptable for an article today especially when the very same encyclopedia has an article on the principle constituent with its modern chemical name its very dumb and the janny's reading this should feel bad.

 

[The greater a'tuin]

For a moment I thought I was on Uncyclopedia with how they made the article.

I find these over-dramatic conflict infoboxes fairly amusing actually. They used to have one for the emu war treating it like an actual battle. But in hindsight this incident was a warning on how astroturfed Indiaslop is.

One thing I noticed is that the 2024 UK riots caused no deaths according to their own site, in contrast with the George Floyd Riots causing 19 deaths. So why one is seen as worse?

Because one was RACIST, duh. You know that.

I had been looking up some history stuff a while ago and ended up on the Japanese Wikipedia page for Mongoloid. I decided to check the English page and I had a small chuckle at how massively different the two pages are.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongoloid
The English page is like 90% finding different ways to say "This term is RACIST and DISCREDITED and OBSOLETE and DEBUNKED" over and over again. And there's this little section put in there just to make sure you know Wikipedia's approved view on things.

Current scientific consensus​

See also: Race and genetics

After discussing various criteria used in biology to define subspecies or races, Alan R. Templeton concludes in 2016: "[T]he answer to the question whether races exist in humans is clear and unambiguous: no."

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/モンゴロイド
Then you have the Japanese page which is goes a bit into where the term comes from and debate on whether some races outside Asia should be included, and then otherwise has a wealth of information about the genetic makeup and physical traits of Mongoloids, their migration history and branching racial tree, what kind of environments contributed to the natural selection of Mongoloid traits, and even a section on what races are racial mixes between a Mongoloid race and non-Mongoloid race.

The most it has similar to the English page is this one singular sentence that basically says "By the way, there's some people who opine that the Mongoloid concept is based on outdated racist views by Europeans and modern science doesn't support it." before going into all that information I mentioned.

なお、「モンゴロイド」という概念は、数世紀前のヨーロッパ人による主観的な人種差別に基づく古い分類であり、最新の科学的な根拠に基づいていない分類である、とする見方もある。
