How do you think cults operate? A cult of personality requires insane amounts of propaganda. The type of propaganda that the largest news network in the country provides. The type of propaganda that is effective at reaching vulnerable and disenfranchised people into believing hateful ideology. There have been many smart people that ended up in a cult, because that cult's propaganda was effective to them.
It can happen to anyone. You are not immune to propaganda.
That tends to happen when the IDF intentionally destroys buildings in a way that's extremely difficult to rebuild.
For folks that aren't sure what's happening, this likely means that their grievance process broke down, and the mass filing of grievances is a collective action before a strike vote. I don't know the terms of their contract, but it's very likely that their no strike clause (note, these are extremely common including how I describe it here) has an exception for going on strike if the issue isn't resolved through the grievance.
The other possibility is that the contract breach is an unfair labor practice, which cannot be negotiated away by a no strike clause, so the grievances are telling the company that this is the last chance to abide by the contract.
Edit: it's worth mentioning that if it is a ULP, Stellantis will be unable to hire scabs.

can't win a primary without Trump, can't win a general with him.
About damn time computer scientists invented magic
I wouldn't call it bullshit, it's the media cycle trying to find interesting research for profitable articles that spun the bullshit. This is likely a secondary study on the way to scientifically measuring consciousness. "Publish or perish" type shit.

Taken from a Press Release by the group:
LONDON, 1 July 2024—Two young trans activists scaled the NHS England’s London headquarters at 133–135 Waterloo Road in London on Friday to stage a protest and have remained there ever since. The group, now made up of seven young protesters, all 18 or under, has one simple message: Trans Kids Deserve Better: we are not pawns for your politics.
The powerful direct action has been organised by the “Trans Kids Deserve Better” network, which is calling for: access to gender affirming healthcare for trans children and young people, protection from discrimination and disrespect in their daily lives and the right to be heard in all decisions that affect them.
Their protest comes in the wake of the government using emergency powers to ban all access to puberty blockers in the UK, a move that was supported by Labour’s Wes Streeting, likely to be the next Secretary of State for Health. It also comes in the context of a General Election campaign where trans people and trans youth have been used as ‘culture war’ talking points, but not allowed to speak for themselves.
“We are staging this protest to remind politicians and voters that we’re real kids, not just political talking points. We may not have a vote, but it is our lives that are at stake,” said one of the activists staging the protest. “Gender-affirming healthcare is a matter of life and death for us, and we hope that our actions will bring awareness to this fact and encourage others to fight for the healthcare and dignity that we are so shamefully denied.”
