Good question. Someone could write a thesis or two about it.
Gravity Is A Social Construct, And That’s Ok YT
Edit: I see you’ve already linked the video downthread.
@disguy_ovahea has no idea what he’s talking about. He apparently attended a couple of protests and thinks he’s now an expert on social change.
A horse race has about as much to do with women’s right to vote as Stonehenge does with climate change, but that didn’t stop Emily Davison’s direct action at the 1913 Epsom Derby from being a watershed moment in the struggle for women’s suffrage.

AFAIK the Economist’s Democracy Index and the Human Development Index use methodologies and statistical methods generally respected by social science.
Ad Fontes is a grift posing as a public interest institution to re-package the horseshoe theory and sell it back to gullible people for $500 memberships while promising institutions greater ad revenue if they play along with the con. It’s another tool of the consent manufacturing industrial complex. Are you even aware of their methodology? It’s a joke.
You take credibility advice from an organization that proudly identifies itself as right of CBS News and The Weather Channel?
Isn’t that a little bit biased?
If you think the article is lying, say so. Don’t hide behind the ‘impartiality’ grift.
Long live roof ninja!
TIL that Trump’s Russian patronymic name is Fredovych.
Do the thing that makes the thing tell you when she’s published a thing!
Associating that sack of shit with people who need wheelchairs is an insult to all people with a disability.

The Untouchables Union Station shootout scene was inspired by the Odessa Steps Massacre scene in Battleship Potemkin, making the 33 1/3 scene a parody of one of the oldest tropes in film-making.
Who’s laughing now whilst holding The Orb?
You can see beehaw has a lot less activity now then it had last year.
Fediverse Observer and FediDB show a drop in active users, but the pattern of peak in July 2023 and then a slow regression isn’t unique to Beehaw, and is a pattern seen across the Threadiverse.
You left, but Beehaw being willing to give teeth to the concept of defederation is the reason I joined. I don’t think the decision hurt their user-count. It definitely helped distinguish their culture from the rest of the Fediverse.
According to the Hurun Global Rich List 2023, China housed the highest number of billionaires worldwide in 2023. In detail, there were 969 billionaires living in China. By comparison, 691 billionaires resided in the United States. India, Germany, and the United Kingdom were also the homes of a significant number of billionaires that year.
I was trying to find an alternative to the current but paywalled Washington Post article - apparently they’ve paid another settlement about the same case. I assumed it was the same event, and didn’t check the date.
I didn’t see it when I posted, but the Guardian newsfeed you shared is really good.
