"The Abundance-Induced Overconfidence Phenomenon" 🧵

Have i just coined a term?

For a long time now I have been trying to find the right wording to accurately describe the fact that we are living in an era where the abundance of information we have access to is often misused by those who simply do not possess the intellectual capacity to process it appropriately.

I believe that "The Abundance-Induced Overconfidence Phenomenon" captures this very well.

This is why Holocaust denial is on the rise. It is why even some very prominent figures are asking, "Was Hitler really that bad?" and it is applicable to a whole host of other subjects that are entirely unrelated.

Here is a breakdown of what I think this phenomenon encompasses 🧵: 1. Information overconfidence

This occurs when individuals gain access to a vast quantity of data, for example through the internet or social media, and assume that the sheer volume of information equates to understanding.

They may skim articles, videos or online discussions and feel empowered to draw conclusions well beyond their actual expertise.

The risk is that they mistake availability for accuracy, and their confidence grows even as their comprehension remains superficial. In extreme cases, this can lead to the adoption of radical or unfounded beliefs simply because they consider themselves well-informed.

The Smell of Death – A haunting fact Holocaust deniers cannot warp into falsehood 🧵

This is my second post this week on the subject of Holocaust denial. You can find the first one in the “highlights” section of my profile. It addresses some of the most common tropes pushed by Holocaust deniers.

In this thread, I want to touch on something very specific that stood out to me from conversations with family members, some of whom witnessed and experienced the horrors of the Holocaust firsthand, and then expand on this subject a little further.
1. It was my grandmother who was a Holocaust survivor, a subject that deserves a thread of its own, so I won’t be expanding on it much here.

After the war, when she was rescued by American forces, she eventually married and had children. She made a conscious effort to ensure her children were well informed about what she and so many others had endured. She even took them to visit Auschwitz at a very young age, multiple times.

The experience had a profound effect on her children, one of whom, of course, is my parent. But one thing stood out above all else, and that's the smell they encountered when walking through Auschwitz. Keep in mind this was the late 1960s and early 1970s, nearly two decades after the war had ended, and yet the smell was still overwhelming.

It was the smell of death... burnt flesh, decay, the remnants of mass murder, a reminder that the atrocities committed there could never be erased.

The following images are very disturbing, but necessary to illustrate the point and explain why such a smell was present at Auschwitz.. This is why:

Greta’s Hypocrisy-Ridden Flotilla: A Gargantuan Waste of Time and Resources 🧵

Greta Thunberg and the Freedom Flotilla Coalition are planning a large-scale flotilla departing August 31, 2025, from Spain. Additional boats will join from Tunisia and other ports on September 4.

The "Global Sumud Flotilla" involves activists from 44 countries, dozens of boats, and hundreds of participants. Their stated goal is to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and challenge Israel’s naval blockade.

Israel’s blockade is maintained to protect its citizens from security threats. This makes the flotilla’s stated purpose highly controversial, as it directly confronts a policy that Israel considers vital for its national security.

With a little help from Grok AI, below is a logistical analysis and an assessment of why this effort is viewed as a waste of time and resources. 🧵: Logistical Overview

Resources and Scale:

Vessels: The flotilla comprises dozens of boats, potentially including vessels like the Madleen and Handala from prior missions. Chartering or purchasing such boats costs approximately $10,000 to $50,000 each, with fuel and maintenance for a 7-day journey (e.g., Catania to Gaza, ~1,200 nautical miles) estimated at $5,000 to $15,000 per vessel.

Aid Cargo: Previous flotillas carried limited aid, equivalent to less than a single truckload. Assuming 50 boats, each carrying 1 ton of aid (e.g., food, medical supplies), the total would be approximately 50 tons. This is a fraction of Gaza’s daily requirement of 500–1,000 trucks (each carrying 20–40 tons). The cost of aid, at $1,000 to $5,000 per ton, totals $50,000 to $250,000.

Participants: The mission involves hundreds of activists. Travel, accommodations, and provisions for 500 participants (assuming 10 per boat) are estimated at $1,000 to $2,000 per person, totaling $500,000 to $1,000,000.

Total Estimated Cost: Approximately $600,000 to $1,300,000, covering vessels, fuel, aid, and participant logistics, excluding donated resources or volunteer efforts.

A Simple Question.. 🧵

If not all Muslims are extremists and not all Muslims support terrorists like Hamas, and if they believe Israel is committing genocide and that Hamas are “freedom fighters,” then why has the name Yahya surged in popularity in the UK? 1. This is the same man who said the following when asked a question:

A Wake-Up Call for Anti-Zionist Christians: Christianity in the Middle East🧵

Christianity was born in the Middle East, but over the last century, the region’s Christian population has dropped from about 20 percent to just 4 percent.

Today, amidst the current war in Gaza, a trend of anti-Zionist Christians has emerged. It is quite possibly one of the most out of touch stances Christians can take, as it is simply a rejection of Jewish history, which in turn indirectly erases the history and validity of the Christian religion.

In this thread, let's take a closer look at how accepting Middle Eastern countries are of Christians. In turn, this will provide much-needed insight into what would likely happen if the anti-Zionist notion came to fruition. 1. Egypt: Around 10 million Coptic Christians, about 10 percent of Egypt’s population, face persistent persecution.

After the seventh-century Arab invasions shifted Egypt to a Muslim majority, modern-day attacks on churches, kidnappings, and discrimination in jobs and education have continued.

The rise of groups like the Muslim Brotherhood has often made the situation worse, increasing pressure on Christians and pushing many to emigrate.

Trump’s UK Triumph: Everything You Need to Know and How He Schooled Starmer on His Own Turf 🧵 1. President Donald Trump’s visit to Scotland on July 25, 2025, once again showed just how commanding his presence can truly be.

Unlike any other diplomatic visit, it wasn’t the leader of the host country who welcomed the President. No, it was the President of the visiting nation who received the UK Prime Minister as a guest on his own soil, at his Turnberry estate.

From Starvation Claims to Genocide Accusations: How the West’s Collective Conscience is Driven by Selective Outrage and Groupthink, Not Facts🧵

It’s clear the West has completely lost the ability to think critically when it comes to the situation in Gaza.

Talk of genocide and deliberate starvation is repeated on loop, not because it has been definitively proven, but because it fits a story people want to believe. It fits a narrative where many feel they are part of something bigger than themselves, something that perhaps fills a void in their empty lives. Harsh? Maybe. But nonetheless true.

Facts don’t matter. Nuance is gone. If you question the narrative, you’re labeled a Nazi or fascist, which is ironic given the history of the Middle East, about which most people seem ignorant.

This thread aims to show how easily emotions can overpower facts when people stop questioning the story they want to believe.

**(note: A less traditional approach, as I’ve decided to break it down into a few chapters rather than using a standard numerical order.)**

🧵: Starvation Claims and Selective Outrage

One of the most disturbing truths about the Israeli Gaza conflict is how easily the media swallows and repeats information from the Gaza Ministry of Health, a Hamas run organisation. This information is rarely questioned and often taken at face value.

“Genocide,” “a thousand dead,” “starvation.” These claims are rarely questioned. Ironically, when it comes to starvation, the Gaza Ministry of Health’s own statistics reveal something that no major news outlet has addressed.

▶️According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, there have been 115 deaths from malnutrition since 7 October 2023, up to 25 July 2025.

By comparison..

▶️Ethiopia recorded 74,583 malnutrition-related deaths in 2025 alone.

▶️Angola estimates between 33,000 and 35,000 malnutrition-related deaths in 2025 alone.

These figures highlight a significant disparity and raise questions about the scale of the crisis as it is frequently presented. Perhaps if the mainstream media provided more context, the collective groupthink of the masses would not be so easily manipulated.

Inside Corbyn’s Record on Antisemitism: Decades of Denial and Division 🧵

Jeremy Corbyn’s career is a decades-long saga of controversy, during which he has been regularly accused of abhorrent antisemitism. He, of course, denies these allegations.

Here is a look at his career as a politician and what has led to the development of these opinions. 🧵: 1. Corbyn began his political journey in the 1970s as a socialist firebrand in London’s Labour scene.

He was elected to Haringey Council in 1974, and quickly immersed himself in activism, supporting groups like Anti-Fascist Action, the Anti-Apartheid Movement, and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

However, his strong support for a united Ireland is what drew a lot of criticism, particularly due to his associations with the IRA.

The Lengths to Which the Far Left Will Go in Order to Distort or Entirely Dismiss Reality 🧵

It’s increasingly clear that many on the left hold such extreme views that they feel justified in lying to promote a version of reality that simply doesn’t exist.

You see it everywhere, from gender ideology to the Israel–Gaza conflict. Facts are far too inconvenient, so they gaslight anyone who dares to question their narrative.

Even worse, their actions are dangerous. By sympathising with perpetrators of horrific crimes in the name of virtue signalling, diversity, and avoiding the label of racism, they put innocent lives at risk.

It's completely delusional. In most cases, it borders on mental illness. Here are just a few examples 🧵: 1. A leftist activist who was less than honest about the identity of the men who sexually assaulted her. She later admitted that she lied because she didn’t want to fuel racial tensions. Never mind that her lies could have put the lives of other young women at risk and might have allowed the perpetrators to go unpunished.

What They Don’t Tell You About Dubai – The “Porta Potty” Scandal 🧵

Most people see Dubai as a glamorous place filled with wealth, supercars, and skyscrapers like the Burj Khalifa.

However, behind all the hype and pretentious Instagram photos of people looking away from the camera, staring into the distance from an infinity pool with some predictably lame caption about “chasing dreams,” lies a reality that’s rarely discussed.

So, if you’ve ever heard the term “porta potty,” you might already have an idea of where this is going. 1. A few years ago, stories began circulating about wealthy Middle Eastern men offering absurd amounts of money to Instagram models and influencers for “private trips.” At first, it sounded like just another form of luxury escort work, but that changed once people saw the conditions attached.

John Paul II - The Only Pope of the Last 100 Years That Truly Mattered🧵 1. Born on May 18, 1920, in Wadowice, Poland. Karol Jozef Wojtyla grew up in a very devout Catholic family. When he was just 8 years old, his mother passed away, and when aged just 12, his brother Edmund, a physician, also passed.

Karol was then primarily raised by his father, Karol Wojtyła Sr. a former army officer and a deeply religious man who instilled in his son a strong sense of discipline and moral integrity. Karol shared a very strong bond with his father, which left a lasting impression on him and would shape the man he would become.

As he entered young adulthood, Karol enrolled at Jagiellonian University in Kraków in 1938, where he studied philosophy and literature. However, his studies were cut short by the outbreak of World War II in 1939. Germany invaded Poland and the university was shut down by the Nazis. Karol was forced to work in a quarry and later in a chemical factory to avoid deportation and in order to be able to support himself.

The Often Omitted Fact of Nazis Who Fled to the Middle East, Part III: MODERN DAY INFLUENCE 🧵

In previous threads, I’ve explored the history of Nazis who fled to the Middle East after the Second World War. I discussed the influence they had on Arab Muslim governments and societies, and how that legacy continues to shape modern-day terrorism.

In this thread, the third instalment in the series (though there are several, additional related threads), my goal is simple:

To present clear and compelling evidence of the profound impact Nazi ideology had on parts of the Middle East. This includes the spread of extremist beliefs and the troubling hypocrisy of those who try to label Israel as the “new Nazis.” 🧵: 1. The IDF finds a copy of the Arabic translation of Mein Kampf in a Gazan home:

Hugo Boss and Its Historical Ties to Nazism 🧵

Yes, you read that right. Hugo Boss, the luxury fashion brand known for its high-end menswear, womenswear, accessories, and fragrances, had strong ties to Nazism before and during the Second World War.

To be clear, the purpose of this thread is to inform and point out some ironic historical facts. It is not intended to encourage boycotts or discourage anyone from buying their products.

History is rarely simple, and hopefully this thread will help shed light on just how complex it can be 🧵: 1. Founded in 1924 by Hugo Ferdinand Boss in Metzingen, Germany, the company initially produced general-purpose clothing.

By the 1930s, it began manufacturing uniforms for the Nazi Party, including for the SS, SA, and Hitler Youth.

Hitler’s Admiration for Islam: The Lesser-Known Fact That Shaped Nazi Ideology and, in Turn, Islamic Extremism 🧵 1. Hitler was highly critical of Christianity and its emphasis on compassion, humility and forgiveness. He regarded it as a religion fundamentally incompatible with Nazi ideology and its broader ambitions.

Islam, on the other hand, was seen by Hitler as possessing qualities more suited to conquest and national unity. He often described it as a "warrior religion", praising its focus on discipline and unwavering loyalty.

He admired what he saw as a form of devotion that was absolute, a commitment that would not be easily abandoned or betrayed. In his view, these traits made Islam a more suitable foundation for the kind of authoritarian and militaristic society the Nazis aimed to create.

The Often Omitted Fact of Nazis Who Fled to the Middle East, Part II: The Nazi Who Converted to Islam and Helped Shape the Ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood and, in Turn, Hamas 🧵

Following my thread about Alois Brunner, I wanted to highlight another prominent Nazi figure, a top Nazi propagandist who escaped Germany, converted to Islam in Egypt, and helped merge fascist and Islamist ideologies. His legacy lives on in the Muslim Brotherhood and, by extension, in terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

This is the story of Johann von Leers🧵: 1. Johann von Leer was born in Vietlübbe in the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany, on 25 January 1902. He joined the Nazi Party in 1929 and began working under Joseph Goebbels at the Nazi Ministry of Propaganda. He specialised in anti-Semitic and anti-Western rhetoric.

During this time, he wrote over 30 books and pamphlets with titles such as 'Judaism and Islam as Opposites' and 'Behind the Powers: Jewish Influence on Global Politics'.

An example of his many publications:

The Often Omitted Fact of Nazis Who Fled to the Middle East - Alois Brunner, Architect of Jewish Deportations and Adviser to the Syrian Regime🧵

One thing that’s often shockingly omitted when learning about the history of World War II is that many high-ranking Nazis fled to the Middle East.

We’ve all been taught that many escaped to South America, Adolf Eichmann being a prime example of a prominent Nazi figure who was eventually captured by Mossad and put on trial for his crimes. However, for some reason, we rarely hear about those who fled to the Middle East, where they were able to exert significant influence over local governments and even continue their ideological campaign against the Jewish people.

Here's the story of just one of many🧵: 1. Alois Brunner was born in Austria in 1912 and joined the Nazi Party at the age of sixteen. He eventually became a central figure in the Holocaust, directing the deportation of tens of thousands of Jews. His operations led to the removal of approximately 47,000 from Austria, 43,000 from Greece, 24,000 from France, and thousands more from Slovakia.

He worked under Adolf Eichmann, the man behind the logistical planning of the Holocaust. Eichmann described Brunner as his "best man," a grim reflection of Brunner’s ruthless effectiveness in executing mass deportations across Europe, fully aware that they would lead to the deaths of many.

🧵What happened to the 321 "Palestinian" refugees Denmark accepted in 1992?

With many Western politicians now calling for Gazans to be given asylum, despite the fact that a large portion openly supports a proscribed terrorist group and are raised to hate Israel and Jews, I thought it was worth sharing what happened when Denmark took in 321 “Palestinian” refugees back in 1992.

A short 🧵: 1. In 1992, Denmark granted asylum to 321 Palestinian refugees from Lebanon under a special law (Palæstinenserloven).

A 2019 government report tracked their outcomes nearly three decades later.

Here’s what the data shows:

Of the original 321 refugees, 270 were still living in Denmark by 2019 (the rest had either left the country or passed away).

Of those 270:

204 (64%) had criminal records
71 received prison sentences
38 were unconditional (they served time)
33 were suspended
133 were fined (excluding traffic violations)

Yasser Arafat - Nephew of a Nazi Collaborator, Heir to Hitler’s Ally and Soviet Proxy 🧵 1. On a cold day in July in 1974 crowds gathered to mourn the death of Amin al-Husseini the Grand Mufti and spiritual architect of "Palestinian" nationalism who also allied with Hitler during World War II.

Among the mourners one figure stood out...

At the front leading the funeral procession was his political heir and nephew..... Yasser Arafat.

Hitler and the Grand Mufti’s 1941 Meeting 🧵:

1. Many will be familiar with the somewhat famous picture below. It depicts Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, meeting with Hitler in Berlin. Some might find it rather odd, considering Hitler’s belief in racial superiority, that the two would converse, let alone strike up a sort of friendship. But that's because there was a far bigger agenda at play here. 2. Al-Husseini, a prominent Arab leader from the region known as Palestine at the time, fiercely opposed British rule and Jewish immigration. After playing a leading role in the 1936-30 Arab Revolt, he fled to Lebanon an later to Iraq. In 1941, he supported a pro-Nazi coup there in hopes of ending British influence. Eventually his ambitions would take him to Germany.

Comparing BLM & Free Palestine: Fuelled by Ignorance, Selective Outrage, and Herd Instinct 🧵:

Two movements that are one and the same. Society has forgotten about the former. Why? Because it's no longer the trend that can be used as a bandaid to cover up the meaninglessness and disappointment that are some people’s lives. Like sheep who lost sight of the field, they moved on to the next moral pasture.

The names change. The slogans change. But the behaviour stays the same.

Superficial outrage with zero understanding. All emotion and no thought. Driven not by truth or genuine compassion but by a desperate need to belong. A chance to feel righteous without the burden of thinking. It's nothing but a quick fix for the spiritually and intellectually bankrupt.

In this thread, I want to examine both of these movements and hopefully provide some understanding of how they are both part of the same hive mind. 1. Both the BLM and Pro "Palestine" movements erupted with mass online solidarity often from people who hadn’t read a single book or policy paper related to either cause.

Instead, they reposted black squares and "ceasefire now" slogans, mimicking celebrities, influencers, and pop culture figures like NPCs following a script.

The black square moment on Instagram back in June 2020 remains the pinnacle of cringe activism.

Millions of people, with zero understanding of racial policy or justice reform, posted a black image to "stand in solidarity.” It was pure social pressure dressed up as virtue.

Twenty Years Since the 7/7 Terror Attacks in London - A 🧵:

Tomorrow marks twenty years since 7/7 bombings took place. It's one of those tragic moments in history where most people can recall exactly where they were when it happened.

I remember being a teenager on holiday in Greece with my parents. It was before the era of smartphones and instant updates, so when we heard about the attacks, my dad and I went to an internet cafe to look up more information about what had happened.

What stood out, looking back, is the sense of unity that followed. There was shock, grief, and solidarity. Not the kind of open support for terrorist organisations or mass protests calling for intifadas that we sadly see in parts of society today.

This thread looks back on that day, how and why the things that happened occurred, and what has changed since. 1. On July 7, 2005, four suicide bombers detonated homemade explosives on three Underground trains and a double-decker bus, killing 52 and injuring 784.

The attacks struck during rush hour, targeting London’s transport network.

At 8:50 AM, bombs exploded on trains near Aldgate (7 deaths), Edgware Road (6 deaths), and Russell Square (26 deaths).

At 9:47 AM, a bus in Tavistock Square exploded (13 deaths).
