Ten years on from the brutalising atrocity in Utoya, Norway, it is well past time Facebook is accountable for the impacts it is having on society in Ireland link.medium.com/bpZ8IOEy6hb
Key to Breiviek’s actions was blending a belief in the collapse of Christianity in Europe — of a theocratic Christian Europe — and the need for its return and a desire for white nationalism to become normal and common sense.

Underpinning Breiviek's attack was a belief in the anti-semitic conspiracy theory of 'Cultural Marxism'

Far Right Observatory took a look at how this far right fringe idea ten years ago is now common in movements in Ireland.

The piece also looks at those repsonsible for ramping up violent political rhetoric online and offline in the last few weeks, and plots a direct line to baseless accusations about President Higgins.

Including posts call for the President to be killed.

All of this faciliated by one of the largest companies in the world, headed by a man unwilling to take action that might reduce rage engagement. They know whats happening, but refuse to act.

Facebook are the petrol in the engine of hate.

First speech of today's demos

"This is war..
They are coming to kill you and that's the end of it...
You have to fight the militia..
Covid19 is a fake..
They are coming to steal your kids.."

Someone from the crowd shouts back "kill all the bastards"

Crowd erupts in cheers.
Funny how many people want to mask up at the anti mask 'covid is fake' demo.

Take his lad for example.

What does he plan doing I wonder.

Nice grift selling ballys at the demo. Image
Nothing says 'reclaim our sovereignty' like the Stars and Stripes Image

5 years ago there was a court case because someone insulted Michael D Higgins.

Now main protest organisers can share baseless accusations that Higgins was filmed abusing kids and people call for him to be killled.

Its all shrugged of as just @Facebook

Ben Gilroy perfecting the grift. Having whipped up fear and hate, having fed into baseless accusations & conspiracy theories, having denied being an organiser while being an organiser?

Gilroy out asking for donations to fund himself.

And for you to hand over all your phone data Image
Ben Gilroys this morning on many folks calling for violence.

He doesn't seem to be against it in principle. His first argument is that they don't have the numbers yet.

He later goes on to explain that violence will turn people off and demo should be peaceful.

Philip Dywer in the count centre with NP leader and #dbsbyelection candidate Justin Barrett.

An abysmal count so far and only a matter of time before Dywer and the Dublin core push to oust Barrett. Clearly the cleverer of the pair, Dywer took all the limelight in the campaign.
18 mths Covid-19
Multiple street demos
10,000's of leaflet drops
100's of hours creating & promoting social media content
Big canvas teams
And Barrett's full-time party wage from members subs.

Yet NP vote is *down 75%* on last general election.

#dbsbyelection
#DublinBaySouth
A sign of the times as Dolores Cahill has a blazing row with both Barrett and likely NP leadership challenger Philip Dywer. Cahill remonstrated with both men, who encourage not wearing masks, for putting on masks themselves.

Principles and integrity not a big thing for all 3.

State of this bullshit
Lots of confusion in the Telegram chats about today's anti lockdown gathering
Conspiracy runs high in these groups. Right now worried that people are gonna make them look bad.

But 'John H' here is doing a good job of that already.

67% of people - that's over 2/3 of respondents support current measure or want *stronger* measures right now to reduce #COVID19 in Irish society in a poll carried out by the Irish Times.

Here how the Irish Timespresents that finding in its own poll.
This question doesn't even make sense and contains false equivalents.

- 'Living with Covid strategy' is not the same as 'getting back to normal.'

-Zero Covid is a contested term, but no description I've seen anywhere reduced complexity what the IT poll is saying it means.
The gov may be damned if they do or don't.

But worst case for them is losing a pensionable job before joining private sector.

Worse case for us is deaths, grief and long term sickness. And more lockdowns to worsen the economy.

The IT aren't being the adults in the room here.

Una McGurk has a new video up on the Irish Freedom Partys website. Headed by Hermann Kelly, the IFP pushes anti-migrant and anti-refugee hate

Una was this week booted off the International Protection Appeals Tribunal.

Every ITAP case she has been involved in need reexamination Image
The IFP & Kelly push the 'Great Replacement' white supremacist conspiracy theory.

This 'theory' has been used by many white supremacist mass murderers.

Brutal acts of political violence driven by, and in some cases staged for, the international white nationalist movement.
Unclear if Una McGurk endorses The Great Replacement theory as espoused by Kelly many times

Its curious she would have a video posted an organisation with such scummy worldviews in the same week she was booted off a panel looking at the cases of people seeking state protection. ImageImageImage
