Standard practice to sow division among people in this country. They have been doing it for years in the UK for years. As sinister and horrid it is they are using teens to do it becasue they know nothing will happen to them.
The scumbags that have been jumping people and stealing bikes for years must be delighted they’re now seen as far right activists.
Ireland needs to wake up to the fact that this is an international phenomenon being driven on social media. We’ve a tendency to wallow in this “only in Ireland” narrative a lot and start blaming domestic factors like culture or education etc etc. the drivers are quite calculated and planned. It’s an adapted localised template. This is precisely the approach these groups used in the UK (including what drove Brexit), across Europe, in Canada, Australia and it’s what MAGA used directly to get Trump elected.
Ireland isn’t immune – it just wasn’t focused on and targeted very heavily, but that’s very much changed in the last few years, with the opportunity opening
Our politics is harder to tip over because of how it’s structured and because of how we see and frame our national identity- you’re unlikely to see a MAGA or UKIP type thing, but you are going to see rising violence and conspiracy theory driven stuff in the fringes. That’s been happening and it’s being driven online. The thuggish elements are being radicalised and recruited, just like they were elsewhere.
The problem I have with the far right (and people siding with them) is that time and time again they have shown who they really are in many countries. They will strip women, minorities and the LGBTQ+ communities of their rights. They won’t solve immigration, they sow deep divisions between people and generally line their own pockets. They incite violence and are deeply racist. I know politicians generally look out for themselves and their own pockets but people need to realise that no country (with the exception of a few maybe) has a proper grasp on immigration.
Edit: grammatical errors
The Guards won’t stop MI5 assets from tearing the Irish working-class apart and keep us fighting among ourselves to distract from the Irish government’s failures, fatalities and obsession with joining the military-industrial complex.
I’m fully aware of the irony saying this on Reddit, but all social media platforms need to be verified. Age gated and all verified accounts. If people had to be verified online you can be sure that most of the hatred and far right stuff would go away. The problem is it’s never been easier to spread hate in an online age. And the algorithms love it as it creates engagement and clicks. Enrage to engage i call it. Far too many people are susceptible to misinformation and disinformation online and don’t have the critical thinking skills to refute it. It’s like the WANT to believe the stuff they are reading to justify their preconceived beliefs. I think we all need to continue to call out and challenge this behaviour and nonsense before it’s too late. It won’t be immigrants taking over (that’s another disgusting lie they like to put out there) it be the far right agitators that will.
And do we want to live in a society like that ?
Don’t they realise that the more hate they spew the less FDI we get ? And that affects their dole as the government losing revenues. These dole dwellers need a rude awakening. They need to be held accountable.
Then why aren’t the Garda doing anything? Plus, why have they let general anti social behaviour among teenagers thrive for years, even when they’re not racist attacks?
They’re not far-right. They’re far-right…. up their own arses.
Seems like a massive amount of Cope to blame this violence on the far-right.
Great, let the apolitical teenagers actually responsible for the violence get away with it once again and do nothing.
Sick of never seeing an article blaming endemic violence against immigrants on Ireland’s shitty youth
Our youth have killed Croatian, Mongolian, Brazilian nationals already in Ireland and they are still not getting called out for it even as Americans and Indians start to feel the heat.
Yeah that’s not ‘far right’ violence, that’s scummy people being scumbags, they have no real political affiliations.
I heard a load of commentary on the radio today about it, and all were talking about the gardai and the government, as if they can solve the problem. Why the fuck do we not address the parents? The President, Taoiseach and maybe some well-respected figures run an ad on TV and radio and online that plays all day every day, and say „These kids are shaming Ireland, and dishonoring every Irish person who ever had to emigrate, it’s your responsibility to speak to your children so they know better“. They could even address people’s concerns about immigration and let them know it’s a top priority to manage it better. Yes I know full well the parents of the kids doing this are probably fools themselves, but that’s the point. They need to see that their angry bubble is not Ireland, and to be spoken to as part of something bigger, and feel a bit of shame.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
We have to ask why these kinds of things are becoming more prevalent. You have an erosion of public services and a chronic shortage of housing for years now. It’s not good enough when you consider the fact that there’s never been as much money in the country as there is now. You have more competition for resources due to the population growth seen in the last few years. Hoteliers making millions off the taxpayer to house asylum seekers leaves a bitter taste in a lot of working and middle class mouths. People are rightfully angry but despite that it’s no excuse for this kind of violence but at least we know why it’s happening.
> by misinformation on social media, with far-right agitators claiming the innocent men had committed sexual offences against children
I’m a complete free speech advocate but these are criminal offenses.
We have always had a problem with teenagers and general scum baggery in this country, but the targeting of Indians is new. I can’t help but feel there are someone orchestrating all the social media disinformation and sowing seeds of division in society here.
Just a random thought btw, nothing to do with this: we are about to sign the occupied territories bill soon.
They are scumbags, have been doing this kind of shite for years now, they are not far right. Punish the cunts for the crimes they do and that will put a stop to it. Fuck all to do with right or left or whatever, scumbags going to scum.
