Seen a video of them holding signs alluding to the ‘great replacement’ conspiracy theory…
The funniest thing about the great replacement theory is that if they reckon their place in society is being ‘replaced’ by homeless lads they deem to be dangerous, uneducated savages….the type of people at these protests must really be no use to our society at all.

I maybe wrong but with some of them banners I think a higher proportional than usual number of people that protest these things have drank the kool aid in Newtownmountkennedy.
The Guards being so heavy handed probably has brought more people onto the protesters side and reinforced it as some kind of state conspiracy.
When it’s not, it’s just the state being uncommunicative incompetent idiots.

100 years ago, pre rising, the Volunteers were vilified in the media, were spat at on the streets by the Irish populace and called lunatics and traitors and political extremist…

A common theme of these protests is that, eventually, as it grows you start to find more and more of the same unsavoury characters place themselves front an centre.
Generally speaking it follows this pattern: locals find out their town/village has been nominated to be the next DP centre. Locals raise objections on various grounds, usually citing lack of local consultation or lack of amenities in the town.
The politicians ignore them, feeding into the anger that they’re being ignored. Locals protest the moves by the government and it gains traction on social media and the news.
Charlatans catch wind of this then try and muscle in and redirect the locals to their cause, sometimes successfully and other times not so successfully.
Then, what started out as locals protesting against the government ignoring them becomes the omnipresent “growing far right” and the whole thing gets chalked up as a bunch of crazies.

Rinse and repeat.
