  1. Your partner is an idiot and you should jump ship now.

  2. Paywalled.

    Probably so the reptiles who secretly run things from their base inside the moon can contain the information about how Elvis shot JFK to create Covid.

  3. OK, what are we clutching our pearls over today?

  4. Yeah, that’s exactly what the lizard people want you to think.

  5. >I am more left of centre and cannot have a reasonable discussion with him about politics, abortion, LGBTQ topics etc without him becoming defensive and exhorting me to “open my eyes to the truth”. My partner is a great person otherwise, and I love him dearly. He has a kind and gentle side, which is being buried by all this nonsense

    I think she is in love with a personality that no longer exists.

  6. How many conspiracies were later proven to be true ?

  7. This stuff really is a mind virus, it weakens people’s mental faculties and makes them obsessed with spreading the illness to others.

  8. I think if my wife started talking about “woke”, I’d cry

    It really is the mating call of a twat

  9. It’s easy, I let the twitter algorithm dictate what I see and if I didn’t block some merchants of doom like wall st silver I’d be building a bunker with 3 years of dried food and home schooling the kids

  10. Save you a click:

    Husband doesn’t like mass immigration and loony leftism changing society / his nation for the worse.

    Wife thinks *he* is the one with an issue. 

  11. I think everyone has experienced a friend or family member they always thought was reasonably solid or intelligent start spouting all of these theories, it used to be a case where you could sort of see it coming a mile away but now it’s almost people you’d never expect. (like an aunt or uncle fighting with complete strangers on some random whackadoodle Facebook page 🥴)

  12. Who decides if a conspiracy theory is true or not?

    Lots have been proved true over the years but if you look back to when the information became public or claims made, most common newsagencies claim “she is mad”, “this guy is a conspiracy theorist”.

    When in fact, it’s true but people don’t want to believe that such horrible things can happen for various reasons and that they have been lied to.

  13. Honestly I couldn’t be with someone like that. I can’t stand racists and homophobes. Even though I don’t think I’d ever get an abortion, I’m too pro-choice to be with someone anti-abortion. The far-right ideology has well and truly come into this country and I blame the influence of American politics. The Irish government aren’t doing anything to help this as well, they’re giving them more of a platform than anything. The far right wouldn’t be becoming an influence if the government was doing their job right.

  14. Funny how many conspiracy theories turn out to be true.

  15. Yeah get used to stories like this. The insidious foreign interests have targeted Ireland as a way to erode the EU and further destabilize the region.

    I had to unsub from this a while back as it’s too fucking tragic. People losing loved ones to a cult essentially.

  16. Man who migrates complains about those who migrate.. 🤷

    I can imagine what his twitter /tiktok feed is like.

    I was a very active twitter user and I stopped as what I was constantly being fed was pure bile. I looked at tiktok for a while and it was probably worse.

  17. In next week’s edition ….

    Dear Roe, my partner has gone left of centre and I can’t have a rational discussion with her about anything.She believes people should be free to make their own choices, do what they like and go where they like ………

    As a side note, Roe, she ignores every suggestion I make about the house but that is a separate issue ……! She also feels we should object to the neighbours planning permission because it will block the light! She thinks they are c#nts and should have consulted us first! People can’t just do what they want, she said! I know this isn’t your area of expertise as you only know how to handle right wingers!

    I’ll write to the Daily Mail page for advice on this issue!

    Is mise le meas

  18. I don’t think this is a real question. Written by the journalist themselves. However I know somebody who’s husband and father to their kids as become like this during covid but is also against them and their kids eating bead and processed grains or processed meats. Makes it hard for them to just dump them as the article says. But OK so we won’t invite them to a bbq.

  19. It’s crazy how people get sucked into this. And where this garbage turns up.

    I loved broadsheet.ie and it was fun and a break from the working day, to check the updates….right until Trump got elected. It was a bit iffy after that, but really went to hell with covid.

    The nadir for me had to be:

    and

    https://www.broadsheet.ie/2022/02/10/return-of-the-mac-2/

    I understand that many people might not be technically savvy but it’s not hard to learn how phones work. It’s a special combination of naivety, ignorance and laziness, at work here.

  20. There’s no way back for him, he’ll only get worse, you need to call it a day now before he turns violent.

  21. Hilarious. The Spiderman meme…So we’ve our decidedly progessive outlet bleeding over all these radicalised Nazis now everywhere in plain sight. Meanwhile on Twitter, the other side go on about the woke mind virus, etc etc.

    Almost as if diversion and in fighting is the end goal…

  22. Have they started any new medication lately? Sometimes blood thinners can cause a personality change.

  23. This stuff happens because the centre has absolutely no credibility and the left refuses, point blank, to acknowledge when issues conflict with their ideology.

    People naturally feel abandoned when their living standards are collapsing, their children can’t move out, and the politicians who promised them better are draped in pride flags and talking about handing housing over to the floods of new arrivals defrauding our asylum system. As for the LGBT stuff, is it not concerning that lifelong rights activists have ducked or been pushed out in the last 5 years in favour of extremist zealotry? Frankly, I don’t think the people who voted yes for same sex marriage were endorsing having to disclose and use alternative gendered pronouns or be accused of hate speech, or watching people with male bodies dominate women’s sport. Way to alienate the mainstream of people trying to get on with their lives though. You reap what you sow.

    People are angry. They’re right to be. And that’s being co-opted by bad actors into all kinds of offensive views. Thing is, why should anyone care about causing offense regarding the norms of politics nowadays.

    Nah. I’m not sticking up for the system, and I’m not judging people who form alternative views. Make the centre have a valid working reasoning again and this will die out.
