CDS for me was always an irrelevant and somewhat moderate party. Only politician who had some influence was Paulo Portas. Chega is clearly dangerous in my opinion. Specially when PSD has such inept and uncharismatic leadership. Racists are all emboldened now.I think that's an illusion, to be honest. The racists simply didn't have just one place to vote, now they do, but racism was always there. You only needed a 5 min chat with the random CDS voter to know they were racist.
Sensible yesThis is not the thread to be getting into this.
But how is it well known throughout the country? How do people know this is going on if there's no data? Or is there data?Does everything that’s true require data? I’m not saying every foreign person that comes here does this, of course not. The vast majority of foreign nationals in Ireland are good hardworking people. But there has been a huge increase in foreigners coming in and doing exactly what I said they’ve been doing, it is well known throughout the country.
He’s on Ignore…Of course you're posting and amplifying a far right conspiracy theorist. In a thread about children being stabbed, you're disgusting.
When do Irish people go abroad, get into a country unchecked and be allowed gather social welfare payments without even wanting to look for a job? Please tell me.
Any Irishman or women who leaves this country does so in search of work, no a free ride in a different country.

Twitter is full of shit cnut youths attacking Garda all over the place setting fire to anything in sight.
Irish politics is in a really dangerous place. We’ve only ever had 2 parties in power and they had to form a coalition to stay in power last time round. They aren’t going to bad mouth each other since the polls clearly show they’ll need each other next time round so pointing out flaws and mistakes from the other party is really taking away votes from themselves. Thats why we’ve had a few scandals which normally sees the TD thrown out or stood down but can’t because it means losing the majority.Hopefully all recover and the attacker spends a very long time away from sunlight.
Also, can someone take the Ireland: Is it racist now? Stuff to a new thread. I've a few thoughts on the subject, or Europe as a whole and it's funny seeing some already play out in this thread. But it's not the right place and I don't want to start it as I am not Irish.
Of course you're posting and amplifying a far right conspiracy theorist. In a thread about children being stabbed, you're disgusting.
Given the conduct of that poster in the Israel thread are you surprised?Of course you're posting and amplifying a far right conspiracy theorist. In a thread about children being stabbed, you're disgusting.
Look at those far right Canada goose scooter riding scumbag drug dealers using a tragic event like this to try fuel their stupid agenda. Same jobless wankshafts who block the m50 or Eastwall claiming the country is full at 4pm while people who actually work (including many foreign nationals) are stuck in traffic because of them. Scrotes.
Oh the old classic, your countrymen are of course so special, work faring contributors.When do Irish people go abroad, get into a country unchecked and be allowed gather social welfare payments without even wanting to look for a job? Please tell me.

Are you serious?This is absolutely related to the situation. Open your eyes. People in Dublin are rioting, they're angry.
I'm just adding to the conversation. None of this is conspiracy. It's the fall out from the tragic stabbing from today.
Just pipe down and stop insulting everyone.

Shops being looted now and streets blocked off. Looks like we’re getting our own version of the London 2012 riots.
Professor Aidan Regan used to run a very good podcast out of UCD. He had someone on discussing the rise of the far right in other countries, Brexit etc, and compared that to Ireland. He talked about the grassroots GAA being an important institution that had slowed it, as well as SF taking up votes from the demographic the far right would typically target.Irish politics is in a really dangerous place. We’ve only ever had 2 parties in power and they had to form a coalition to stay in power last time round.

There’s literally no accountability these days with their only option attacking Sinn Fein who have never been in power and are quick to libel them using their trusted news sources and are presently trying to change the laws to enable libel because Sinn Fein are having to take so many to court over it. Never mind it was the same government who tightened libel laws because they weren’t fond of the coverage they were getting during the banking crises.
How the feck can you blame the ills of the country on a party that has never been in power?
Our Taoiseach and Taniste have both been claiming we need to get on top of the migrant crisis and we need this and that despite them being the source of all these problems. They’re positioning themselves away from being in power and are acting as some other force who needs to come in and clean this mess up.
How can government who have only ever been in power fight back? By attacking SF with what ifs and oh that wouldn’t work as if saying this mess is so large not even you can fix it so why would they vote for you? If you lower that tax then how to you make up the deficit..who said good governance was about who could make the most out of its own people?
I’m not even a SF man and it’s a bit of a rant but it won’t take much for another party to rise up in a decade or 2 to pick up all of the fecked off voters getting gaslighted and talked down to. SF themselves were nowhere 7 years ago and look at them now.
There’s so many voters frustrated that they’re not being heard that the far right can piggy back that with their own agendas wrapped in. We really aren’t that far away to seeing an attempt at least.
Yeah. Dublin City centre has turned into a fecking shithole and that part of it is the worst.This has been coming since March 2020.
I'm totally ignorant in Irish politic matters, can you please tell me why?This has been coming since March 2020.

Homelessness and drug use went up massively in the city centre of Dublin during Covid, as did local gangs and young pieces of shit, due to the lack of any real Garda presence during the lockdown. It never really recovered. Streets like that one (Parnell) are full of the sort of scrotes you see in those videos. They’ve just been looking for any excuse to act like cnuts.I'm totally ignorant in Irish politic matters, can you please tell me why?

Hopefully the victims make a full recovery.
Not a problemI posted in the Israel Palestine Thread about why looking to Europe for advice is a terrible idea because we are idiots. Much of what you have said, the Dutch election, what's happening in Sweden, the posts from Sly (Portugal) and so on all support what I've been thinking.
The far right gaining traction is entirely the fault of incompetence and ignorance. Valid concerns about the true public costs of taking immigrants in, backed up with soaring costs and people being unable to even survive in their own countries is the fault of both the governments and the near fanatical support they have who seemingly exist only to act as attack dogs for these Parties.
When will people learn that dismissing someone's concerns will lead them towards people who will listen? Especially when they see their concerns play out in front of them. What begins as a fairly reasonable concern gets hijacked by the far right and becomes something darker. If only the people who could, actually answered their concerns eh?
Would you mind taking your post and starting a thread? I'll copy my reply over and delete this so it can get back to the real story.
