We should study her brain
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.
It would be more useful as a paper weight
Well she is from Doncaster so that explains a lot of her delusional thinking.
sLaMs
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.
They found a photo of the leader
Dont u dare conflate hg for pg >:[
Do you know what else terrorists use all over the world? Cars! How long will we allow these dangerous contraptions to be freely available?
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.
Those poor mass murderers just couldn’t get their hands on a gun. So unfair!
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
Anyone who knows how evolution works and thinks about it for two seconds KNOWS that the egg came first.
Don’t the chickens come on the eggs?
That’s fish.
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.
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”? 🤔
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.
Yeah, I’ve taken drugs, too.
Oh yeah, hamas is very well known for their incredible Airforce and paramilitary units and operations
Even aside from that, I see 12 guys in the picture. If we assume this is a stock photo and the actual number was 5 times higher that’s still only 60 people. If a foreign country or terrorist organization was invading you with 60 dudes in parachutes you could almost call the local shooting club and let them handle it. That’s hardly worth the label “invasion”.
Well, there was Operation Red Dog by 13 (3 being agents so really more like 9-10) people who tried to take over Dominica and make it a white ethnostate…
I’m not familiar with that bit of history but I’m guessing from your phrasing this was unsuccessful which reinforces my point a bit haha
Bunch of Klansmen(some who knew Ron Paul and one of those started Stormfront) really overestimated themselves, yeah. They got caught before they even left the US kinda hilariously.
I mean the island of Sark was unsuccessfully invaded by a single dude in 1990 (apologies for the terrible linked source, its just one of the first search results that wasn’t a random reddit thread or other even less reputable source)
The local volunteer Constable, the only law enforcement on the island, being informed of the invasion thanks to the notices, decided to take the threat seriously. On the morning of the invasion, Constable Perrée began to plan the island’s defense, which was a two stage scheme. First, he went looking for Mr. Gardes. He found him sitting on a park bench in army fatigues preparing for the massacre that was about to befall this island. As the Constable approached the invading army (a.k.a. Gardes), he saw Gardes loading his automatic weapon.
The first “showing up” stage now complete, Mr. Perrée executed the second stage of the plan. He complimented Mr. Gardes on his choice of gun and convinced Gardes to remove the magazine and let him see the instrument of the island’s assured defeat, so the constable could better admire it. When Gardes acquiesced, the Constable took the gun and punched him in the nose. The invasion was over. The gun used in the attempted coup now sits in the Sark Museum next to old ships and a dedicated exhibit to one of the island’s two original telephone calls.
Edit: I’m a little disappointed there isn’t a Wikipedia article on the subject with a list of belligerents, details of the strength of forces and a tally of the casualties and losses like this:
Paramilitary, paragliders, I never made the connection before!
Oh no! If they take out Doncaster, who will eat all the Gregg’s?
“Slams”
😐
Woman performs double suplex on paragliders
Those poor paragliders
Sir, !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works is leaking out and beginning to spread
I know there’s no such thing as overkill, but JFC. You’re gonna need a microscope to identify the remains.

Stupid ass
sauce?
Gyo, it’s the same guy who created Uzumaki
Junji Ito for sure
These are the same types of idiots that think they’re going to be targets of a terror attack in some small backwater town.
These types of propaganda methods really resonate with boomer types.
I remember someone that thought that they were going to be mailed anthrax back when they had the anthrax scare in the US.
-
How much anthrax do you think terrorists have that they could afford to mail it to you, a random person in the US?
-
Why do you think you’re so important that you’re going to be targeted?
You need to either be clueless or really full of yourself to think these scenarios apply to you.
The only time you’re possibly going to be caught up in something is if you’re going to an important or significant place, or you’re interacting with people much more important than you are.
