Real talk, we have to figure out how to handle this kind of chronic fear and paranoia, because this shit ain't normal, but it is frighteningly common.

Like yeah this is a hilariously over-the-top example, but the amount of people you and I both know who go through life genuinely thinking that they're going to be the victim of a kidnapping or worse at any given time is astounding. And it's not without impact either, because this is exactly the unfounded sense of fear that conservatives/fascists seize on to manipulate the population.

I don't know the solution, but a world where everyone is afraid of their own shadow is a literal hellscape.

Holy propaganda victim

for a second I thought this was a fucking onion article lol

That picture is not Doncaster, It's Devils Dyke in Sussex, UK. It is facing East toward Chanctonbury Ring (furtherest hill in the distance). Behind the photographer will be a pub and a carpark. Its a drive of about 230 miles between there and Doncaster. #justsaying

These are the same types of idiots that think they're going to be targets of a terror attack in some small backwater town.

These types of propaganda methods really resonate with boomer types.

I remember someone that thought that they were going to be mailed anthrax back when they had the anthrax scare in the US.

1. How much anthrax do you think terrorists have that they could afford to mail it to you, a random person in the US?

2. Why do you think you're so important that you're going to be targeted?

You need to either be clueless or really full of yourself to think these scenarios apply to you.

The only time you're possibly going to be caught up in something is if you're going to an important or significant place, or you're interacting with people much more important than you are.

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

Odd woman yells at ~~cloud~~ paragliders.

Well she is from Doncaster so that explains a lot of her delusional thinking.

Oh yeah, hamas is very well known for their incredible Airforce and paramilitary units and operations

"Slams"

😐

Stupid ass

"AAAHHH! Hamas are attacking... Doncaster?"

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

They found a photo of the leader

D O N C A S T A H

o no they got SLAMMED

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.
