I see this so often that I think it might qualify as a law:
The time people take to notice demographic trends is equal to the time required for the results to materialise.
In other words, however obvious the maths might be, we cannot or will not see it coming.

Trump thinks immigrants will destroy Europe. The truth is the opposite.
This column is about the long arc of population change, the hybridity of European cultures, and the widely-misinterpreted results of demographic momentum.
Big issues we need to understand.

The facts are stark: Europe must open the door to migrants, or face its own extinction | George Monbiot
These are the facts: plummeting birth rates mean that without attracting immigration, many countries are sliding towards collapse, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This is a really appalling editorial error on BBC Question Time
"Apparently one in three children don't speak English as a first language, why does this matter?"
Chair says "have English as a second language"
Caption changes the meaning entirely
"Don't speak fluent English"

The fascists are organising a carol concert in London to "draw attention to unchecked immigration and the fading of our cultural heritage".
What would Woody do?
Write an anti-fascist Xmas carol and sing it at the counter demo.

How many times do we need to point this out?
By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it.
While weakening your own position.
There's a vast amount of academic research showing this.
But Labour will not listen.

Here is Pete Hegseth, on several occasions in 2016, lauding the military "ethos" that means they will refuse to follow unlawful orders - which he reckons is treason, now that they are his orders - because "there have to be consequences for abject war crimes".
Deserves to go viral.

Heavy stuff but it’s been a couple years since my dad took his own life. He was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam, and mom found boxes and boxes of slides he took. Going to start digitizing everything to preserve them. Feels important. These are just shots from the tv since I’m waiting on a card reader
