Keyblade Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Just now, DCJonah said: I wonder how many decades time it will be when everyone pretty much agrees how badly social media **** up society. It's so bad. It used to be bad, but only affected terminally online weirdos and was relegated to certain sites. But now everyone is affected. You can talk to what you think is a regular person now and already see the brainrot from social media. Twitter in particular is just spectacularly ****ed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Elon Musk was sucking up to Tommy Robinson yesterday - who also personally intervened to have his Twitter ban overturned.

When Elon agrees with someone and wants to boost their BS to millions he replies below with exclaimation points. He did that for Tommy yesterday in response to the stabbings and his unfiltered racist BS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's many red flags about who he interacts with on Twitter, not to mention his very weird alt accounts too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you say something he agrees with, he'll either steal you tweet if it was a meme and post it himself or say something like "Concerning!", "Exactly!", "!". It's all far right stuff too so I'm not the least bit surprised about him replying to Tommy Robinson. That's just what he posts publicly, he has made likes private now so who knows what he likes and boosts privately. Pretty sure it's Nazi shit, and I'm not even being dramatic.

More riots booked in for tomorrow, including in my city. I'll be staying far away from that place. Nottingham and Manchester, isn't it? Joys.

bickster Posted August 3 Moderator Share Posted August 3 It’s quite clear that the best way to put a stop to the riots is for everyday normal people to come out onto the streets and do what Liverpool did yesterday and always does when the shitheads come to town It hasn’t happened since Covid, last night was the first but if they try again it’s almost guaranteed that next time there'll be three times the people in the streets to defeat them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 "A black female soldier who fronted British Army recruitment campaigns has spoken for the first time about how years of racist abuse and bullying made her life whilst serving “a living hell”. Kerry-Ann Knight, 33, took her case to an employment tribunal and accepted a substantial settlement from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) last month. She says when her complaints weren’t taken seriously she began secretly recording conversations - including one where laughter could be heard after a white male soldier said “just [expletive] tar and feather her, it’s what they used to do in the old days”. ... The hostility began with what some in the Army might wish to dismiss as “banter”. ... “I wanted more individuals of colour to join, because I just thought, the Army cannot continue like this - it really can’t”, she says. She knew women and ethnic minorities were under-represented groups and says she was selected to front campaigns because of this. Women make up 11.7% of the UK's armed forces and ethnic minorities 11.2%. But, when the 2019 campaign went public, there was a backlash, which was was reported at the time, external. British soldiers accused her online of “playing the race card” and of being just “a tick in the diversity box”.
