First things first the delay in sentencing before the election was a joke

He’ll have died by the time he is sentenced to everything. He’s got more trials to face than years left to live.

People are panicking because they are dying of asyphyxiation.

But according to the wikipedia article the media tends to report on it as if the panic caused the deaths. When it’s the opposite.

From the wikipedia;

 Incidents involving crowds are often reported by media as the results of panic.[16][17] However, the scientific literature has explained how panic is a myth which is used to mislead the attention of the public from the real causes of crowd incidents, such as a crowd crush.[18][19][20]

Crowd crushes which are often wrongly called stampedes still happen, even if “first world” countries. A recentish US-based example would be Travis Scott’s Astroworld concert.

Basically if you read the whole wikipedia article nearly all of these so called stampedes are actually crowd collapses where people are packed in too tightly and when a couple people lose their balance and fall it almost has a domino effect and people often die of injuries or asphyxiation. And panic doesn’t cause these, it’s having crowds at too high of a concentration.

At even higher concentrations, you have crowd crush, where people who are standing upright get so packed they are unable to breathe and are asphyxiated to death.

My favourite map without NZ, was a map that included the southern island but not the northern island. So the country was unrecognisable.

80% of the US population is in the East. The high plateus of the US and the rockies are extremely sparsely populated

Yes I was to be honest. I didn’t imagine I would be accused of being a nazi because I detailed war crimes against them.

Not to mention I’ve made similar posts in the past about nazi war crimes against the allies, I believe one was specifically about the soviets, and people were quite respectful and intelligent in the comments.

I was reading through wikipedia on world war two, and found out that over half a million german prisoners of war died in soviet gulags after the end of the war.

I’m pretty well read on world war two and I’d never heard that before, so I decided to post it on “today I learned”.

There’s a real problem with Neo-nazis, less on lemmy, but it’s increasing worldwide. But you’re accusing the wrong person. I mean I am literally signed up on an LGBT+ Rights instance.
