      I cant see the article but Jack Posobiecs brother was in Ireland during the fuel protests and had a sit down interview with a couple of the naive “leaders”. Just here to stir shit and use the far right simpletons to push his agenda.

    2. Oh these fuckers. From the other side of the pond..we’re sorry. They’re looking for their next white supremacist grift.

      The last paragraph of the article has a lot of the reason why this stuff is happening. Look whose interest would be served by an anti-immigration, anti-EU, pro-MAGA politics emerging in Ireland. The same platforms that are spreading this shit. These tech companies are really cosy with MAGA who want to let them off the leash, no regulation, no obligation to fact check or moderate, no taxation, free for all. A mini-MAGA government over here would be well for them.

      >Ireland’s historic links with the US, alongside our position as a key EU tech hub, v means that **in any fight between the EU and US over social media, the country will be a key battleground.**

      Like Musk’s interest in the U.K., being English speaking is a liability while the U.S. is infested with far-right lunacy. It’s much harder to get engaged in politics somewhere if you don’t speak the language.

    5. American-fist agenda. Fuel the right wing in Ireland and others to destabilise governments here and weaken the EU.

      The government need to be looking into where a lot of these Irish far right types who seemingly don’t work and just attend protests and stir shit up are earning their money from. I don’t think the dole money would allow that much travel etc to be possible. I also seen far right Yanks like Steve Bannon have said they are pumping money into Ireland.

    7. Foreigners who don’t live in a country shouldn’t be platformed at all in politics. The only exception id grant is if it is a major power and their decisions directly impact the people discussing it. Like I’ll never stop complaining about the CLOUD act or US spying

      His brother was in Ireland during the anti immigration march last year and fuel protests this year. Clearly stirring the shit. His bio says – invented Gulf of America. Imagine your only achievement in life is telling the orange pos that we should rename Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America!!

    9. How can we common folk safeguard against these fuckers meddling in our country?

      Because Ireland has cultural sway beyond it’s small size making it an ‘easy’ target for these psychotic propagandists. Look at Conor McGregor. He is in some ways a product of that exact propaganda.

    11. Is the pizzagate story really hard to believe now with all the epstein files coming out? I guess some need cognitive dissonance or the reality of what is actually going on would destroy them.

      Isnt Pizzagate just the Epstein class/files before it became somewhat more public what the Israelis and the billionairs where up to?
