People who are sick of skipping meals to pay the bill, like me. Why are you’s shocked the most vulnerable people in society support the farmers and truckers? I am sick of losing weight.

No doubt there’s always a paymaster but i reckon a lot of these protests get piggybacked aswell.

Honestly the government should just move the people blocking roads/oil etc or just shut up about it and leave them off

Interesting article. Not suggesting there isn’t shady funding involved, but in my complete ignorance I have no idea how much money would need to be organising these ad campaigns. Like is it hundreds or thousands? Sadly if it is more the former I would probably personally know a few headbangers sufficiently addicited to this kind of shite that and high on their own supply that they’d probably be happy to pump a few hundred euro of their own into ads if it made the feel like ‘patriots’.

Article seems ridiculous. The ads are funded by a tow truck company and then immediately jumps into MAGA conspiracy.

Lads suck it up, the protests are happening and a large proportion of the country supports it whether we agree with it or not. It doesn’t mean there’s some conspiracy to it for FFS. Absolute nonsense just because you are personally opposed. Id even go so far as to call this propaganda itself.Â

Theres already a gofundme by one of the usual grifters, raised 20k…for “food for the protestors”…

Diesel has skyrocketed in price over the last few weeks.
Unlike other issues the Government has faced, this issue is very easily solved through reducing fuel tax for the duration of the price spike.Â
That is why the protests are mainly happening

The article does some good work but stops bafflingly short once they have the name of which website paid for the ad. Took me about 1 minute of googling that company to find the name of the owner and yes he is Irish (Kildare to be precise) and already named in the media as one of the leaders/organisers of the protest.
The sudden jump to MAGA in the article seems to infer a nefarious foreign influence but that just doesn’t appear to be the case from the outside

Everyone should work from home to reduce prices throughout the country in protest!

What the hell is thebriefing.ie? It’s basically a blog by the looks of things.
Fuck all research gone into this “article”

Russian money funding right and left wing extremism. Notice how these groups never support Ukraine.

The article claims thetowtrruck.ie is funding the ad campaign on facebook.
There, saved yous all a click.

I’ve heard Putin himself was seen getting out the back of a lorry on the motorway handing out stacks of cash to the protestors earlier. There’s no way it could just be normal Irish people that have a different opinion to this sub. Can’t be.Â

Some it seems to be genuinely grassroots and the person funding some ads on Facebook is an Irish citizen?

I just heard on WhatsApp that Mossad were holding secret talks with their far right protestors in portaloos along the motorwaysÂ

when i see ‘People Of Ireland Against Fuel Prices’ quoted, it’s a dead giveaway it’s being engineered by the anti-democracy crowd. They dont speak for me.

A simple rule of thumb for these troubling times.. If Tommy Robinson is on your side then you’re probably fighting the wrong fight

I’m in Canada now and they did this exact same nonsense during Covid with the “Trucker” protest (not an actual trucker protest, just a bunch of doses, rubes, and gobshites). It’s all being fed by foreign money goosing social media.
Each and every one of these eejits is being played.

Why isn’t the first point of call for this protest the American embassy. They’ve caused this shit show

The irony of people saying it’s the anti-foreigner crowd badwagonning all this while also pointing at foreign influence. “Blaming it on the foreigners is bad, except when my side does it”
