I love that the Journal goes to the effort to debunk these claims, but I really wish they’d include accurate visuals that can be used to counter the ones doing the rounds.

didn’t know there was a great replacement theory in Ireland. debunking something that isn’t real is in itself divisive propaganda that serves to achieve the same unrest the presumed replacement proponents also want
but i suppose this is the journal

Friendly reminder that the great replacement theory is designed to evoke emotional fear and paranoia in an otherwise reasonable person, and it has a grasp on more than just ‘stupid people’. Intelligence is not the factor here, the ability to use critical analysis is.
It’s functionally a diluted and repackaged version of the protocols of Zion, a collection of antisemitic writings originating in Eastern Europe/ Russia during the 19th to early 20th century that posed Jewish individuals to be masters behind duplicitous means and events happening in the region and propagated by noble families and individuals of influence at the time.
Same story, different target. Stay wary and verify your sources if you see, hear or read something that sounds odd like GRT.

Not sure what prompted this article but find it a bit disingenuous to only mention the international protection applications and no other form of immigration as a way of debunking anti migration rhetoric

Talking about using stats to control narratives.
The asylum stats cited do not include Ukranians.

There is no theory but when the far right use legitimate statistics how can you debunk that? 94% Irish to 71% in 30 years. Asylum migration is a tiny number of total immigration

I mean it’s pretty obvious that the EU backs migration to keep businesses profitable and to break nationalism. Since WW2 the West has hated the idea of nationalism and homogeneous countries. The downside is now most people aren’t invested in their state but yeah that’s a different argument.

The only thing to debate is the motive behind this replacement migration. There is no doubt that it is happening.
Walk around any city in the country, get on any form of public transport.
The fringe on the far right will blame this migration on some shadowy groups which makes the whole thing sound like cock and bull, but just take a look around and compare it to Ireland in 2000 and nothing the journal publishes will change your mind on it.

Weird to jump between debunking specific posts online and then also go “The question could be asked: what difference would it make to be at one side of this figure rather than the other?”. Trying to have it both ways.

The comment section here below is exactly what I would expect, there’s no deviation from the norm.

That makes the Irish Prison Service statistics more scary. If they (Non-Irish) are such a minority then why so many in prison? and we know what sort of crimes and how many previous convictions you need to get into prison!

Fascinating read. Thanks
