Irish Fuel Protests.

[Taifi gorm]

They've ignored everyone who knows anything about the far right, telling them that the fash are on the rise in Ireland, particularly in rural Ireland. Repeated Goverments have used the legitimate concerns [Poor language removed] the far right begin everything with, for years to deflect from years of incredibly poor housing strategy and Ireland's abysmal record on asylum.

RTE have been atrocious this week only salivating at the prospect of trouble. Constantly platforming people, who have absolutely no mandate other than their own, to spout nonsense about Ukraine and IPAS centres.

Social Media has allowed this to percolate, as it did with covid-19 and the Dublin riots.

FFG & RTE have welcomed and platformed the far-right. Sniggering and salivating at the anti-SF and soc dem rhetoric from the bots blaming the opposition for government failings.
The same play book the establishment order has used across the world. The Tories, GOP etc all creating their own golems.
Christ FG TDs where with the ones attempting to get into today's meeting. No blockades for foreign corporations or embassies.

One of the demands of the protesters is that we drill for oil. The rest of their demands are around the agri-business.

That awkward moment when the Gaurds come and break up your blockade but you’ve been on the sauce.
