      No doubt there’s always a paymaster but i reckon a lot of these protests get piggybacked aswell.

      Honestly the government should just move the people blocking roads/oil etc or just shut up about it and leave them off

      Interesting article. Not suggesting there isn’t shady funding involved, but in my complete ignorance I have no idea how much money would need to be organising these ad campaigns. Like is it hundreds or thousands? Sadly if it is more the former I would probably personally know a few headbangers sufficiently addicited to this kind of shite that and high on their own supply that they’d probably be happy to pump a few hundred euro of their own into ads if it made the feel like ‚patriots‘.

      Article seems ridiculous. The ads are funded by a tow truck company and then immediately jumps into MAGA conspiracy.

      Lads suck it up, the protests are happening and a large proportion of the country supports it whether we agree with it or not. It doesn’t mean there’s some conspiracy to it for FFS. Absolute nonsense just because you are personally opposed. Id even go so far as to call this propaganda itself.

      Theres already a gofundme by one of the usual grifters, raised 20k…for „food for the protestors“…

      Diesel has skyrocketed in price over the last few weeks.

      Unlike other issues the Government has faced, this issue is very easily solved through reducing fuel tax for the duration of the price spike. 

      That is why the protests are mainly happening

      The article does some good work but stops bafflingly short once they have the name of which website paid for the ad. Took me about 1 minute of googling that company to find the name of the owner and yes he is Irish (Kildare to be precise) and already named in the media as one of the leaders/organisers of the protest.

      The sudden jump to MAGA in the article seems to infer a nefarious foreign influence but that just doesn’t appear to be the case from the outside

      Everyone should work from home to reduce prices throughout the country in protest!

      Tbh im a mix of two opinions, 1 is the CIA to news distraction from the war and the files,

      2 Mossad, isreal doesn’t like us and also news distraction from carpet bombing south Lebanon

      What the hell is thebriefing.ie? It’s basically a blog by the looks of things.

      Fuck all research gone into this „article“

    18. Rattlehead_ie on

      Surely the topic should have been
      „Who’s fueling the fuel……“

      Saw some ai slop posters thar had fenian flags rather than tricolours, I’d say Justin Barret is in on it.

      Russian money funding right and left wing extremism. Notice how these groups never support Ukraine.

    22. DartzIRL on

      The article claims thetowtrruck.ie is funding the ad campaign on facebook.

      There, saved yous all a click.

      I’ve heard Putin himself was seen getting out the back of a lorry on the motorway handing out stacks of cash to the protestors earlier. There’s no way it could just be normal Irish people that have a different opinion to this sub. Can’t be.

      Sinn Fein for one will have their fingerprints all over that. If you think about it, no party seeks to benefit more from chaos than a party of chaos. It almost feels like a partnership.
      Can’t wait to see the reavti when the first deaths are attributed to these vacuous idiots.
      Isn’t it funny you don’t see real people doing real work and getting paid a pittance (Nurses, Gardaí, fire service etc.) protesting and selfishly endangering people and generally harming OTHER workers and parents trying to get on with their lives.

    26. yellowbai on

      Some it seems to be genuinely grassroots and the person funding some ads on Facebook is an Irish citizen?

    27. Fit_Drive9421 on

      I just heard on WhatsApp that Mossad were holding secret talks with their far right protestors in portaloos along the motorways 

    28. Charles-Joseph-92 on

      What has happened to this sub with the shape of these comments? Honestly.

    29. pollymopp6 on

      when i see ‚People Of Ireland Against Fuel Prices‘ quoted, it’s a dead giveaway it’s being engineered by the anti-democracy crowd. They dont speak for me.

      A simple rule of thumb for these troubling times.. If Tommy Robinson is on your side then you’re probably fighting the wrong fight

      I’m in Canada now and they did this exact same nonsense during Covid with the „Trucker“ protest (not an actual trucker protest, just a bunch of doses, rubes, and gobshites). It’s all being fed by foreign money goosing social media.

      Each and every one of these eejits is being played.

    34. shoudnight on

      Why isn’t the first point of call for this protest the American embassy. They’ve caused this shit show

    36. GaeilgeGaeilge on

      The irony of people saying it’s the anti-foreigner crowd badwagonning all this while also pointing at foreign influence. „Blaming it on the foreigners is bad, except when my side does it“

    40. MikeBsleepy on

      Also why they ain’t outside the American embassy protesting the eejit who caused this for the whole world?

    41. dannyreillyboy on

      yea so here’s a point! Protest against America, stop buying american goods, divest from American interests …. or even better, use all that American Corporate Tax revenue to offset the costs!

      it’s american tax dollars that has put Ireland in a position of being a relatively wealthy country…..and comfortable lifestyles for so many of us for so long. yet the irony is that they have now threatened that with their foreign policy…..and want to take all those american tax dollars back home! the irish government are no more in co trol of this situation than Paddy the Plumber or Seamus the Trucker! were pawns, lambs to the slaughter. Seagulls following a trawler!

      Trumps America doesn’t give a shit about Ireland and Ireland can’t do shit about it.
