So many anon "anti-fascist" accs that really do little except say the "right things" appear like most active anti-fascist person u could ever meet but really just amplify fascists/far-right & their msg online
Fascists are capable of doing everything & anything, pls remember that
There's also many that are not anon, but despite their anti-fascist words their actions give them away Most involved in anti-fascism activism do not suddenly appear out of no-where, they've usually been involved in left activism/campaigning for some time
NB.Amplifying is red flag
There are times we've to alert ppl to what's going on & give evidence for that info, but we can do our best to do that without amplifying
Accs/ppl that engage/interact with fascists legitimising or encouraging debate or conversation is extremely damaging & can also be a red flag

Carey worked as a trucker & is a Yellow Vest fascist
He's been active a number of years & attends & supports all fascist groups events incl Yellow Vest Ireland / Irish Fteedom Party & he supports the National Party
He first called for protest to shutdown #Dublin Port few wks ago
Fascist Tan Turd aka Rowan Croft who supports Qanon & U.S. terrorist groups like Boogaloo Boys & incites hate & violence against minorities was 1st to promote & support Carey's call to protest yest
Tan Turd shared Carey's vid which was put out by anon fascist acc now suspended.
Small shops, businesses, farmers etc were never really supported by successive govts in this country who have let big corp, multi-nationals, industrial farming etc rule & take-over, especially ruining rural towns, so in a crisis situation zero difference.
Fascists are of course are exploiting this very issue re Covid now.
& homeless/housing issue to gain traction/support etc...
They're also claiming gardaí's reaction to them yesterday means ppl can no longer "peacefully protest" in Ireland.
We have to make sure that
moving forward we don't allow the gardaí/media to use the far-right as a reason to clamp down on protests in general - there will be times ppl must protest as responsibly as possible following guidelines. eg. #Debenhams#evictions etc etc...
I'm seeing fascists threatening 2 shut down #Dublin Port again, TOMORROW
Same day/time Yellow Vest Ireland / Irish Freedom Party advertised their big 72hr protest
Yellow Vest Ireland /Irish Freedom Party etc won't put their name/logo to their sm events now cos they don't want to be known as organisers & held responsible for calling on ppl 2 break all #Covid#Lockdown guidelines
Finally a media outlet that has listened to us -this piece doesn't carry all detail/info but it does finally out Patrick Curran who is racist spokesperson/organiser of #Oughterard campaign & who has worked closely with far-right agitators -Curran is STILL involved in the campaign
#Oughterard still have lots of work to do weeding out ties to far-right & racists The fact that far-right were heavily involved in #Oughterard from get go is a huge wake up call to this country. The racism, Islamophobia & far-right prop that was spewed EVERYWHERE was frightening!
The far-right were also involved in #Lisdoonvarna, #Moville, #Rooskey etc.. They latch on to a few racist, like minded locals and drive the narrative. Anyone who criticises them or calls them out, is accused of calling the whole village or town racist - similar tactics everywhere
