While I have little time for RBB, Paul Murphy and Brid Smith. I really dont care if they clapped or not. It’s all performative support. I dont think Zelensky really gives a fuck either. Think hed much rather we sent them Anti Tank weapons than clap for him.
It’s all a pantomime, govt TDs giving out about opposition TDs not clapping. wish they’d care more about the workers earning less than 40k a year getting fucked left right and centre. But no, get energised about someone, of no consequence not clapping.
They are free to make the point they did but I think they could have done it without the ‘not clapping’ stunt
She did clap but stopped early. Fairly respectful actually
I think we should be past the point where fucking clapping or not clapping something matters.
Did you find out why she didn’t clap?
She did clap… Someone trying to divert away from the scummyness of PBP
I lost alot of respect for her when she stood up and gave a speech shortly after the invasion. Basically blamed men, blamed NATO done the usual PBP tactic of mentioning “Putin bloody war” then went on a rant about the US, NATO etc.
They seem to have more time for nations that don’t do democracy well, Venezuela, Cuba, and Russia than they do for democratic states.
Did we find out whether she clapped for the healthcare workers?
She might be a serial un-clapper. This cannot be tolerated. Everyone must clap for {current thing}
Her lack of clapping I don’t really care about but her previous speech full of whataboutism and basically saying only women and children are effected by war showed her true colours.
Dripping with Blood from a train station attack …wankers the lot of them.
This is reaching Poppy fascism levels of ridiculousness. People have reservations about Zelensky. Get over it.
Horrifying. Disgusting. Shameful.
so brave… do not understand the love she gets from this sub.
Virtue politics
Its a shame that our media is not explaining why and instead choosing to malign them to suit the authoritarians. Never let a false dichotomy go to waste I guess.
Sorry, I mean whataboutism, dog whistle, virtue signalling and populism. Do I get a cookie?
I think the problem is that they want us to remain neutral. Fair enough but then not applauding Zelensky as if he isn’t worthy of their respect? That’s disgusting. They’re not doing this the right way.
She went to Syria with Clare and Mick. One of Assad’s henchmen gave them a guided tour.
She basically came out for Assad as the Americans were against Assad. Of course Russia did Assad a solid by bombing the living shit out of Aleppo.
Her line was that Assad was fighting Al Qaeda, which is technically true but really it’s the West she’s concerned about
Absolute shame, that’s the end of that then..
She’s made good speeches in the past but her speech on the Russian invasion was so full of whataboutism that I’ll dismiss her forever since. I don’t understand why some people just completely shit the bed and get completely insane when it comes to an imperialist and aggressive power that isn’t the Yanks
The applause police
What a dose
So extremely disappointed that one of my favourite TDs did this.
At what point do intelligent people saying ‘this isn’t as simple as you are making it, it is complex and dangerous’ make you stop and think about your position?
I know the simple one is emotionally attractive… it’s hard to scream and shout a strong opinion about something that’s not simple but the abuse people are getting for the blasphemy of disagreeing these days is stomach churning.
