🇬🇧 Hundreds of INVADERS , Muslims armed with weapons on the streets in the UK screaming “Allah Akbar” hunting British patriots! No 24/7 courts and “full force of the law” statements by Kier Starmer for this lot

Is there an actual explanation for this aesthetic trend at the time, or was it just the right time period for that particular vibe in video games, design, advertising, etc?

The worship of lower life disgusts me

Young men will go swimming in a public lake Then Boomers will try to drown them over a town ordinance.

The "male loneliness epidemic" thing is kind of bizarre because it was basically one article from years ago and the concept is not a remotely common talking point in male/right-wing circles. Yet among women it's been a mega-viral meme for like 3 years running

In 1696, the British government decided to tax sunlight. Under the Window Tax, households were charged according to the number of windows in their homes. To avoid paying, many people simply bricked up or boarded over their windows, choosing to live in darkness rather than hand money to the state for daylight. The tax was presented as a fair way of taxing wealth, since larger houses tended to have more windows. In practice, it proved crude and damaging. Tax inspectors were given the power to enter homes and count the windows, which was widely resented as an invasion of privacy. The consequences were severe. Poorer families, in particular, bricked up windows to reduce their liability, leaving homes darker, damper and poorly ventilated. This contributed to higher rates of disease, including tuberculosis and rickets. Architects began designing houses with fewer windows to minimise the tax, resulting in buildings that were less healthy and less pleasant to live in. Far from being an efficient revenue raiser, the Window Tax distorted behaviour, harmed public health and became increasingly unpopular over time. Yet it remained in place for 155 years until it was finally abolished in 1851. The Window Tax required invasive enforcement and created more resentment, hardship and economic distortion than revenue. It is a classic example of the unintended consequences of taxation.
