I’m getting high school law class flashbacks with a little corruption sprinkled in.

Nope. Just as illegal as Israel’s.

Mostly FB wasn’t a trove of far right shit and it was before a lot of the scandals pointing out to what extent our data is sold.

searxng? Anyone?

Okay I worked on my post. I believe everything in the title is backed up by what’s written in the article. I need sleep now, goodnight.

Ah okay this is more an error on my quoting the article as opposed to the title. I tried to write my title in relation to the entire wikipedia article but I see I overquoted from the stampede section which makes it seem like it’s only talking about stampedes and not crowd events in general.

One quote from the article that lets me paraphrase in more certain terms than what you provided is in the leading paragraphs “Such incidents are invariably the product of organizational failures, and most major crowd disasters could have been prevented by simple crowd management strategies.[4]”

Could you suggest a better wording that fits into the word limit? I had great trouble fiting the gist of the point within the character limit (I’ve only got two characters left). And had to remove a “might” and “usually” to be able to fit it all in.

I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything really. Just trying to share something I learnt on wikipedia and help lemmy feel more full. But I’m aware I can never make everyone happy.

Unfortunately at that point if you try to move you can risk a crowd collapse which can be just as deadly. So you should be real careful about knocking people off their balance if you try to move around.

Perhaps I should have included this quote from tne article too?

most major crowd disasters can be prevented by simple crowd management strategies.[22] Crushes can be prevented by organization and traffic control, such as barriers.

This is talking about the cause I think. Panic can worsen the situation, but it almost never is the cause. And the panic is nearly universally justified.

The most recent US based example might be Astroworld. And there 10 people died right in front of the concert stage while the thing kept going on. Entire groups of people yelled “stop the show” and climbed up trees and fences to make space. Someone even made it up the TV operator tower and was pleading the operator to notify the authorities people were dying but was completely ignored.

There’s always a new country to destroy and use it to blame the west.

Joke parties have existed since the beginning of western electoral democracies.

This wikipedia article is a pleasant read.

My favourite current one would have to be germany’s mildly successful “Die Partei”. With their best policy proposal being to. “Wage a war of aggression against Lichtenstein in order to force democratization and abolish serfdom”

Pro russia party great.

Welcome to the Hungary/Slovakia club austria.

Austro-Hungarian vibes are strong.

Also, if you want to feel internal disgust. Note that the FPÖ (which is the winning party here), was formed by former ranking Nazis in the 1950s.

VT. Don’t gamble on single stocks. But since capitalism rules and all of congress owns stocks, you can be fairly confident the market will go up in the long term 10+ years horizon. And compound interest does miracles.

Hey Fidecz you autocratic buffoons. Please move to Russia if you want to live in it so much. Hungarians are sick of your garbage.

That’s not my point. Everytime they deface something, we start talking again about stopping oil production. Sure we talk about it without that push too. But this means we start talking about it more.

Then we wouldn’t be talking about stopping oil production right now.

Damn that works nice thanks.

That’s not the point I was making. Just that the wheelchair ramp comparison doesn’t work.
