  2. I don’t care if you’re rightwing or leftwing, artists like kneecap spread hatred and division under the guise of being edgy. fuck em.

  4. The far right, who‘s antisemitism is only surpassed by their islamophobia.

  5. It wasn’t just the FPÖ that demanded the cancellation, politicians from NEOS (socially and economically liberal) als well as from the ÖVP (center-right conservatives) also spoke out against the concert. And I fully agree with them, Artists who glorify Islamist terror groups should not be allowed to perform in Austria, particular in light of the attempted and executed terror attacks in our country in recent years.

  6. Just your regular Kneecap post reminder that there are three actual terrorists (members of Ulster Resistance) who sit at Westminster and vote on legislation such as criminalising people who hold signs up

  8. The far-right are such a funny bunch. Constantly complaining about free speech and claiming they were cancelled while in reality this exactly what they want to do to their opponents do actually do way more often.

  12. It shouldn’t be coming from just the far right. 

  13. The first half the headline was predictable, but then the real speedbump came at the end

  15. Just like that. The hostages should be released. Hamas is a terrorist organisation. Free Palestine means annihilation of the State of Israel. Kneecap are propagandists of terrorism.

  16. The famous Austrian artist, and the entire Austrian art community must be proud now.

  19. The far right loves the Jews all of a sudden. Or just hates Arabs just as much?

  20. For those unfamiliar with Kneecap. What’s a high level synopsis of who and why?

  21. Free speech – as long as it is politically correct. Hypocrisy.

  22. Kneecap need to be cancelled permanently. Waste of space hypocritical traitors

  24. all of Europe is seemingly trying to race America for the title of 4th reich.

    I wanna fking die..

  26. Oh no, being against terrorism is now far-right. The whole Ireland is becoming a bigger joke every minute.

  29. what goes around comes around.

    Maybe they dont put their names on petitions to cancel irish festivals in future

  30. Once again, bending the knee to all the wrong people.
