Holy propaganda victim
victim of mass media brain rot
My thoughts as well.
It makes me wonder about my own fears. How many of them were put there by propaganda?
For one, there’s journalists picking the dumbest tweets and pretending it’s news. Then screenshots of the “news” article of a dumb tweet getting propagated on other fora.
It’s ragebate, conditioning us into a default distrust in and condescension of others.
We should study her brain
It would be more useful as a paper weight
Maybe, but I think there’s something much more insidious going on here than a random person with weird delusions. I think this is a symptom of the panic narrative that’s being boosted all over the world by far-right parties and candidates, social media, and incompetent - or at least misguided - news networks.
If you keep hearing about how the big evil is all around you - it’s your neighbors that looks different, your colleagues with a weird accent - and that that evil is coming to get you sooner rather than later, then when you see something that looks different than usual, what are you gonna think it is? The big evil you’ve been hearing so much about, of course.
This time, it’s some old lady thinking paragliders are Hamas, but many times it’s some other people saying “the gays” are trying to spread communism and infect the children.
This was my takeaway. Shes so spun up with fear she sees on TV she thought it possible it could show up at her door.
I’d watch this Red Dawn reboot.
Do you know what else terrorists use all over the world? Cars! How long will we allow these dangerous contraptions to be freely available?
You are now an admin on /c/fuckcars
So that’s why the US banned Toyota Hyluxes.
It’s not. The real reason is so much stupider. IIRC it happened partially because of eggs.
Well classical lobbying then.
Ahh that’s right. Chickens not eggs.
That depends on which came first

Don’t the chickens come on the eggs?
That’s fish.
TIL. Flying fish or…? How do they reach the chicken eggs?
Cars have legit gotten somewhat popular as a rampage weapon in Europe. I think knives are still number one but there’s a trend for sure.
Knives are still number one because some of us can’t afford a car!? Mass murder isn’t the cushy gig it once was, between enshittification, inflation, corporate greed, etc.
Those poor mass murderers just couldn’t get their hands on a gun. So unfair!
the british have to be the most over sensitive people on the planet, for some of the shit I’ve seen them complain about that made the news cycle.
Allow me to introduce you to Americans…
Nothing real ever happens here. So me picking bits off the scab on my left knee has a good chance of making the national press.
How did we go from one dumb tweet picked by a “journalist”, to “what’s wrong with all the british people and why are they the most sensitive people on the planet”? 🤔
Man some people just aren’t trying anymore; according to the weather forecast it’s going to rain Hamas on 17 October 2025, not 2023.
PS: Should probably mention that this is The Onion.
Bruh. Omw to post this in not the onion.
for a second I thought this was a fucking onion article lol
Did any of them have those dumb little, loud ass engines attached? Because, if so, I understand a little more.
I don’t think so. The other article literally just mentions this person lives near a paraglider school. I’m assuming beginners don’t fiddle round with paramotors.
Gotcha. I was just somewhere and didn’t realize those things existed until I heard one. It’s like the inventor of gas powered leaf blowers just wanted to ruin some more people’s days.
There are some electric ones but yeah the gas ones are an absolute horror.
Stupid ass
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.
I agree with the “nutcase” diagnosis but I think she just can’t tell paragliders and parachutes apart and thought these were paratroopers. Which Hamas somehow has now.
I disagree on some spots. There are electric motors for paramotors which are significantly quieter..
You could use it in the night. With still air you also don’t need to have the breaks in your hands all the time.
I still wouldn’t use it as an attack vehicle.
sauce?
Junji Ito for sure
Gyo, it’s the same guy who created Uzumaki
forgot there were sharks thought it was just the fish with the spindly legs
Sorry to Americans, but at first I thought this must have been from the US.
Dont worry. The Brits are dumb as fuck too.
There would have been mention of some of the paragliders shot.
Don’t forget the GoFundMe for the mental anguish of arbitrarily murdering someone…
Well she is from Doncaster so that explains a lot of her delusional thinking.
“Slams”
😐
Woman performs double suplex on paragliders
Those poor paragliders
I know there’s no such thing as overkill, but JFC. You’re gonna need a microscope to identify the remains.
Sir, !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works is leaking out and beginning to spread
