Experiments show that when bees are exposed to microplastic pollution, their memory gets so muddled they may forget the scents associated with sugary rewards. As a result, pollination may fail — which is bad news for flowers and crops.

Microplastics may confuse bees and other insects, hurting pollination

Recent studies have shown that tiny pieces of plastics can make bees more susceptible to bacteria and viruses.

Our democracies are strong — but only if we resist falling into the traps of division and fear. And that applies to Canada just as much. I sincerely hope Canadian voters remember how precious their free, democratic society is — and choose to defend it.

What does this mean for us? ➡️ Don’t rush to conclusions. ➡️ Don’t spread rumors. ➡️ Stay alert to how the media and politicians frame the event. ➡️ Watch carefully who tries to politically profit from it.

110

unflustered.modest @unflusteredmodest.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

But history shows us: Even when the original motives are unrelated, such events are politically exploited — often aggressively. And almost always, it’s the forces who thrive on fear, division, and demands for a "strong state" who benefit the most.

100

unflustered.modest @unflusteredmodest.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Important Clarification: There is currently no confirmed evidence that this particular attack was politically motivated. The idea that incidents like these are used for election interference remains speculative.

110

unflustered.modest @unflusteredmodest.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Germany witnessed similar patterns before its own elections, and investigative journalists were able to trace financial flows — in some cases — from Russia to terrorist groups. Other countries might be acting similarly.

100

unflustered.modest @unflusteredmodest.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

We can no longer ignore it: It’s becoming increasingly plausible that such tragedies are used as tools for election interference.

100

unflustered.modest @unflusteredmodest.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

And, unfortunately, a troubling pattern emerges: Before major elections, attacks and "chaos moments" seem to spike. These incidents can be deliberately used to: - Spread fear and insecurity - Further divide society - Strengthen right-wing or authoritarian forces

100

unflustered.modest @unflusteredmodest.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Why does this matter – beyond the immediate tragedy? ➡️ Canada is holding early parliamentary elections on April 28, 2025, much earlier than originally scheduled. ➡️ The political atmosphere is highly charged, fueled in part by the ongoing trade war with the U.S. under Trump.

100

unflustered.modest @unflusteredmodest.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

But one thing stands out: Once again, an attack occurs right before a major election — Canada’s parliamentary elections tomorrow.

Shocking Incident in Canada – and Why We Must Pay Close Attention 🧵 A tragic attack occurred at the Lapu Lapu Festival in Vancouver. At least two people lost their lives. Many others were injured. ➡️ The driver was arrested. ➡️ The motive remains unclear.

Reminder Please remember that politicians will ALWAYS give you a new bogeyman to distract you from the fact that they are not at all interested in giving you a solution. They just want to keep splitting so they can push their agenda and the rich can keep accumulating money.

Sounds naive? So once did the end of monarchy. So once did democracy. So once did the abolition of slavery. Empires fall. Let’s not build a new one. Let’s build something better.

unflustered.modest @unflusteredmodest.bsky.social · 25/04/2025

But what if we broke the cycle? No more empires. No more systems built on domination, extraction, and fear. Instead: Systems built on dignity. On justice. On global cooperation—real, not rhetorical.

The U.S. empire is faltering. Its power and influence are subsiding. It falls. But what comes next? If we’re not careful, someone else will rise to claim the throne: 📉 Authoritarian regimes 💼 Corporate technocracies 🧠 Post-truth empires of control and manipulation Different mask. Same game.

They always tell the same story: Expansion = peace. Domination = order. Wealth = virtue. Collapse = someone else’s fault. And when they fall, they leave a vacuum—one we rush to fill with the next empire.

Every age had its empires. Each thought it would last. None did. Power doesn’t die. But empires do.

unflustered.modest @unflusteredmodest.bsky.social · 25/04/2025

But empire isn’t exclusive to the West 🔸Persia ruled from the Indus to the Mediterranean. 🔸China’s dynasties built lasting civilizations. 🔸The Caliphates connected continents through trade and knowledge. 🔸Inca and Aztec empires rose high in the Americas. 🔸Mali and Songhai flourished across Africa.

110

unflustered.modest @unflusteredmodest.bsky.social · 25/04/2025

Let’s be honest: The United States didn’t invent empire. It inherited the mantle—from Britain, who reimagined Rome, who absorbed the legacy of Greece.

100

unflustered.modest @unflusteredmodest.bsky.social · 25/04/2025

And more often than not, collapse is self-inflicted: By overreaching abroad, by retreating inward, by sowing division through fear, xenophobia, and a shrinking sense of solidarity.

unflustered.modest @unflusteredmodest.bsky.social · 25/04/2025

unflustered.modest Its the late stage of empire. 🔸The stage where might replaces diplomacy. 🔸Where spectacle replaces substance. 🔸Where decay is denied until it’s too late.

From torn treaties to trade wars, from abandoned allies to praise for strongmen. Trust collapsed. So did credibility. But this didn’t happen in a vacuum.

Trump didn’t start this decline on his own— but he made visible what others advocated for a long time: Turning inward, flirting openly with authoritarianism, and scorning allies, global institutions, and shared values.

🧵The influence is vanishing. The power is subsiding. The empire falls. But what comes next? (On decline, cycles of domination—and what could come after) For decades, the U.S. held unmatched global power. A superpower in culture, economy, and military might. But somthing shifted. 👇
