Should be mandatory reading, shows how easily a grassroots movement was manipulated and taken over, garning support despite anyone with an ability to do some research flagging who the fuckers involved were that were nominating themselves as spokesmen.
The same “spokesmen” then shat themselves when they were put in a position to enter negotiations, they obviously didn’t want to, and tried fade into the background.
But the damage was done, support deserted the “cause” and we were left with a bunch of racist morons and loudmouths who dissipated when faced with the legality of what they were doing.

I don’t think it can be overstated enough how the genuine anger of farmers, contractors and hauliers has been manipulated from day one by a bunch of far-right agitators who want everything from a collapse of the government to the hanging of politicians.
The message of the original protest has been heard and there’s a package forthcoming to deal with fuel.
Any further support of these protests is direct support for the far-right.

Tried to hijack them? They were started by them in the first place. Christopher Duffy and racist friends

Hijack them? They have been involved from the start.

I cringed hard at their little “solidarity” march today. I presume many of those farmers on O Connell street hate them

Not trying to disparage anyone buy saying this but the money behind these far right groups know how to target a specific demographic using social media platforms like META. This demographic gets bombarded daily with misinformation and they quickly get sucked into this nonsense. They need to be deprogrammed in order for them to become functioning rational thinking individuals.

Say what you want about the “far right” at least they go to a protest!

These far-right opportunists require content to maintain relevance; should every adult in Ireland delete social media, this group would cease to exist.

When the EU enforced its own laws against far right Elon Musk, his response wasn’t compliance, it was calling for the EU to be destroyed.
Read that again.
Every empire, every concentration of power, wants the EU gone. Not because it’s weak, but because it isn’t. Because it sets rules, enforces them, and can’t be pushed around as easily as a single state.
That’s why Brexit was celebrated by far right Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein, on record, in the files. Not for sovereignty, but for what it represented: a return to tribalism.
Divide and conquer has always been the strategy. Break the EU into pieces and each country becomes isolated, negotiable, and easy pickings.

“On 10 March, he incorrectly claimed that Ireland is the only country in Europe to offer immigrants free housing, weekly cash payments, free English lessons and free trips to the zoo and theme parks.”
I heard this too. The immigrants get free trips to Disneyland, front row seats at the Rose of Tralee and a personal hand job from Micháel Martin himself

TBF, there have been a number of groups across the spectrum that tried it. The far right, yes, but also opposition political parties. Aontú seem to have been the most successful, but SF and PBP tried it too and were both effectively run out of it. I suspect PBP because they have no meaningful representation in “rural Ireland” (however one might define it), and SF because they have been speaking out of both sides of their mouths, which has been noted and tracked for years now. For example, SF voted for the legislation that created the legal requirement here for carbon tax, but then tried to vote against increases in those same taxes. In an age of social media, where videos of you doing and saying one thing can easily be shared in groups, that approach simply won’t work. Add to that the online discourse regarding farmers and rural protesters accusing them of being everything from inbreds to modern-day kulaks and this seems likely to damage the opposition (i.e. the left outside of Dublin and large urban areas) as much as it will the government. There seems to be very little desire among these disparate groups to unite in their opposition.

They’re all over the WhatsApp groups. Trying to soft peddle migrant issues in.

Who fucken cares.
Fuel prices and everything prices here are ridiculously high. The govt tax take laughable when Spain bends over backwards and irish politicians guilt trip any direct meaningful leverage on them with “think of the children”.
Then the shit show with the usual wokeati pointing the finger screaming like something outa bodysnatchers at the usual idiots in the faaar roight.
I don’t give a shit about either end of the lunatic spectrum that everyone on here occupies, I give a shit about making the politicians fucking fear us for once, the people in the middle carrying all you cunts.
We need a break, a financial one, we’re being fiacally fucking crucified in this shit hole.
All this fucking noise from you woke cunts and the far right cunts are just pawns being gleefully moved round the chess board. Fuuuuck this cuntry.
