Edited by Stirlingsays (30 Mar 2024 10.12am) The politics of fear is a useful mechanism for controlling a society. Stoking fear of a situation or another country enables authorities to push the boundaries, whether that be by restricting freedoms so as to ‘protect’ us, spending taxes on specific projects that would otherwise fail to pass scrutiny or using unsavoury rhetoric. hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing.

Yep, we have seen in recent years the old truism that fear wins over reason most times. There has been a huge effort put into dubious fear mongering towards the trustful non political normie. A restriction of alternative viewpoints. Imagine what it would be like without Twitter. Edited by Stirlingsays (30 Mar 2024 10.38am) 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith.
