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.
They’re all just far right nazi scumbags tho right???
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.
If 160 men were suddenly due to start camping next door to me for an indefinite period of time I’d be a bit concerned too.
Government not planning, not listening and not communicating. Madness.
All far right no doubt

Its like the political class are deliberately trying to create an extreme right movement. Completely disconnected from the populace and dismissing criticism as racism. Eventually people just dont care about being called racists and the actual racists will get power. A politicians first duty is to their own community, not those of other nations.
Imagine being angry about a brown lad fresh off a plane from some war torn shithole, who has no say in anything least of all where he’s sent once he gets here… and NOT being angry at useless government who caused the fucking housing crisis, or the shitehawk hedge finds buying up houses in bulk, or the slumlords gouging people on rent.
Those Irish protesting about refugees are blinkered morons being fed shit by the far-right and milked for votes. You’re going to the wrong protest if you think this will change anything. Leo and his crew of goonies caused all this, and they just love it when you let them off the hook by blaming some random foreign lad. Bunch of ficking eejits.
What’s generally the craic with those Irish Republic flags? There’s one flying around where I live.
It’s quite unfair tho.
My village has 52 families.
They are renovating an old restaurant (one of the only local ones we had) into more accommodation.
Every single local is openly joking/hinting that it will only be a matter of time until the building is burned… It’s so frequent in conversation I’m thinking locals are trying to put that energy out there so some 17 year old gang of scumbags does the dirty deed on our behalf…
Sigh.
Is one large state of the art accomodation for asylum seekers not enough for a small village with one shop, one post office and one bar?
