Is this not just another example about the stupidity of "WOKE" ideology. The Woke brigade take exception to the Norway football world cup squad being photographed as Vikings, about to board a Viking Long Boat. They have been branded, by the WOKE as being Neo Nazis.

Erling Haaland and his Norway team-mates under fire for their remarkable 'Viking' World Cup squad photoshoot - as critics call it 'chauvinistic' and link it to neo-Nazis | Daily Mail Online It appears that Woke is not only in Policing but being adopted, by idiots, for idiots with no knowledge of basic h…

These Auditors has they call themselves, I have watched some on you tube, I watch with amazement, how businesses and security and even police officers turn these video into cash cows. It would help if they knew the subject, and law they talking about, and it very clear in most cases they just don’t. The only reason these videos get views, is solely because of these people making themselves look silly. These would all stop if these interactions stopped, because videos would get no views, no views, no income no more interest.

https://reclaimthenet.org/ireland-digital-id-app-social-media-access-data-breach-concerns Ireland’s government is preparing to require citizens to use a state-controlled “digital wallet” app to access social media platforms and adult websites, even as its own departments continue to suffer repeated data breaches. We are getting closer and closer to the Panopticon, the Home Secretary has even literally said she wants a system like that where 'the eyes of the state can be on you at all times'. But then a lot of people genuinely don't seem to mind. Everywhere I go, I see people wearing smartwatches or FitBits, which are one of the worst things for spying on you min…

https://news.sky.com/story/doctors-warn-of-horrific-impact-of-tech-and-devices-on-young-peoples-health-13495803 Doctors and medical experts have warned of the growing evidence of "health harms" from tech and devices on children and young people in the UK. I don't know about screen time itself, but I've always thought that social media in particular is quite harmful to peoples mental well being.

I don't think it's natural.
