Ya. This is what America deserves. You won’t like hearing it but this is the find out stage after fucking around for years.
They let tik tok tell them what’s important to them, so now you’ve got young people cheering for terrorists halfway across the world while their rights are being stripped at home.
This is exactly as planned and Americans won’t do a damn thing about it because they’ll get distracted by the next viral dance or dead gorilla. RIP Harambe.
The article and the events it covers are from the UK. You should probably read the article before commenting on it. I also highly recommend never trusting an Independent headline at face value; they’re infrequently backed up by the body of the article. This is a rare exception.
I’ve started to make a habit of reading every article I click entirely before reading let alone contributing comments. Now I see social in a whole new lens… the conversations… Nobody reads the articles.
The Independent was that trigger for me in 2016. I kept seeing headlines that were outrageous and fit my perspective. I’d get called on it and have to read the article only to find out it was pure clickbait. Often the article supported the opposite perspective, especially if you followed its sources. I wasn’t used to that, especially from papers of record. Usually blog posts that get big in the tech space don’t make outrageous claims they can’t back up.
I had The Independent filtered on Reddit for years. It’s the only QoL feature I regularly miss from Reddit clients. Once Lemmy apps add domain filters I’ll be back at Reddit client levels of functionality.

This is for the UK
Doesn’t change my position.
Way to double down on your terrible take when confronted with your blatant ignorance. Pound sand, you utter bellend
