I checked with my U.S link and he has admitted he was flippant when he told me this morning it was semi-based on a real event .... (eyeroll)

many of the devoted freedom conspiracists left have made this their world view and think we are the ones not in the real world. its sad and concerning at the same time

I told her to say that the 'boy' could be a school only friend. But turns out she is going to pull him from school to teach him "real things".

yeah I was hesitant , but hearing a little too much recently that these covi-era anti- folks don't really exist anymore.

I was hesitant to post this TBH but I also feel we cannot shy away from this bubbling pot.
I also had a friend tell me yesterday that her son wanted a new friend to play at their house. His mother came around insisting on checking the backyard for cabal tunnels so her child wouldn't get taken.

sadly these types of things are very difficult to call a threat. Intent and capability etc. This is just ONE of the examples. Yes I did report a few of the more potent ones.

@joshroose.bsky.social Well done on your efforts despite the shocking determination.

I wonder if this is a systemic comfort influence - wherein forensic psych is a familiar approach in court systems and extremism/terrorism is harder for them to comprehend (and is inherently political). I hope there will be a review as it dilutes the wider extremist challenge that persists.

I am not discounting those influences, I have a forensic Psych degree, but this finding easily infers every type of violent extremism with small groups is delusional not terrorism. Delusion can be structured and informed by an extremist ideology, and more importantly activated by that ideology.

Thesis mode: ACTIVATED. Send snacks and good vibes, I'll return soon..............

Excellent point

Might have something to do with the reality they cut their expert contractors and thinned down state sector knowledge by cutting state employees.
