Far Right refugee scare tactics

walterking

New tactic by the far right and anti-refugee crowd.

They are now spreading stories on FB & TikTok by purported real people saying "I was followed by strange men". Or two foreign men tried to rob my phone at "put refugee location here". And I was chased by a group of men - again put "refugee location here".

The sad thing is so many gullible people actually believe these fake stories. They don't check and see that the accounts are brand new with no history and the so-called "news" reports are fake too

These far right agitators are targeting very gullible people who then spread the mis information into their social circle and then it becomes "fact".

Its the way the Trump MAGA campaign has spread dangerous rhetoric in the USA.

At least they can spell

It's been happening for a while. The worst nightmare for the far right seems to be the idea of refugees or migrants hooking up with Irish women.

Ooh aah, up the Fra...

Is this an Italian friar, like Fra Angelico, spreading anti-refugee propaganda?

Jarhead_Tendler

While some will be made up for lots of stupid reasons it of course happens as well.

BagofWeed

Always been the Irish way, to spread lies and gossip towards anyone different. Going to be havoc here over it all as the refugees and other foreign people or Irish born people of foreign background won't tolerate it. Funnily enough it could well be the latter demographic that actually protest and take to the streets and get something done about housing as most of our own are like rabbits blinded by headlights who are running around totally confused by it all looking for anyone to blame but themselves.

I think its more of a concern for womens safety than them hooking up with anyone.

You post some serious scutter lol

Talking about a "housing crisis", that's the biggest one at the moment for them.

Are there challenge, certainly but descriptions about housing emergency and crisis is about escalation of fear and tension.

When the media refuse to report on attacks & incidents openly and honestly, it leads to this culture of speculation & gossip. If they were honest and didnt hide the skin colour & nationality of perpetrators, this would be solved immediately. If a white Irish heterosexual male is exposed every time he commits a crime then so should everyone else be aswell

plenty on tiktok and all by new account and then commented upon initially by the same people until it gets legs and others start commenting because they were so gullible and believed it was true - cos it was on tiktok.

I'd disagree. The media report plenty of issue and in a lot of cases will report the country of the perpetrator. The media ignore a massive amount of criminal issue from many areas and a lot of it is because its a few days before they hear of it.

Have a visit to any district and circuit court and look at the amount of assault cases that come before the courts - the vast vast majority are Irish especially when it is domestic violence

Any examples or are we supposed to take your word for it.

How do we know your not making up stories?

It's almost fascinating how the "Irish commit no crime" narrative is attached to people, when not one of us has ever downplayed the reality that Irish people commit crime, and for now are the majority of people who commit crime in the nation. Can you show me one person you actually makes arguments like this? Or are you doing the usual, making up stuff to make it seem like you have a point?

That, on top of they "they don't care about native crime" narrative, is absolute nonsense, as there's a massive overlap between the people who have an issue with current immigration policies and the social problems that come from the Irish underclass.

You might think theres no housing crisis.

But there is.

https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/housing-planning/2022/09/16/french-embassy-issues-warning-over-severe-housing-crisis-in-ireland/

The French embassy in Ireland has warned those relocating from France that the State is currently experiencing a “severe housing crisis” 

.............................................................

"for them". By that logic the French govt must be one of "them".

Jarhead_Tendler

Many of the left posters on boards don't see the housing crisis as they are too busy mashing the keyboard from Mammy and Daddy's boxroom . There is no issue that they are not experts on. Peru to Ukraine. The conflict in the middle east .Immigration to housing. They are wasted .

You're probably responding to the people who are responsible for it. Most of the posters here are in those telegram groups and have twitter accounts attacking migrants.

Galwayguy35

Yeah I suppose the video of the African guy demanding money and then threatening to sexually assault two women working there was played by actors from the far right was it.

Other videos I've seen over the past few weeksof migrants standing outside centres grabbing youg women as they passed on the street.

All made up because these nice newcomers would never do anything like that at all.

I think the poster was referring to all of the obviously made up stories actually.

Absolutely nail on head.

Irish Times have reported an alleged attack on an encampment of migrants, describing them as Polish, Hungarian, Scottish but describe the attackers as “white Irish”!

Unbelievable! Has the Irish Times ever described the perpetrator of a rape or murder as “Black Somalian” or “Black Nigerian”?

Of course not.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120170851#Comment_120170851

I think the main feeling most people have is disgust at the perpetrators of the attack. Absolute scumbags who should be prosecuted and it's time for the guards to start taking more serious action on this. We've now seen lads getting attacked and who knows what could have happened. People radicalising people into this need to be treated as such also.

The good thing about this act is it has helped those lads to get accommodation and get out of their situation as I'm sure that is what will now happen now that this has been publicised.

farmingquestion

There hasn't been any bite for a far right in Ireland. They've been constantly rejected at the polls for a decade.

But now there's massive immigration while Irish people are treated like dirty and there's anti open borders and anti unlimited migration protests.

So....we're in a situation where the far right are consistently rejected yet there's an increase in protests. So what can be read into that? That people have genuine issue with unlimited immigration. There's no housing. There's no GPs. There's no transport for this many people.

Get it into your heads lads, it's nothing to do with hating foreigners. It's everything to do with this country not being able to support more people!! It can't support the ones it has! You might wake up and smell the roses when you are impacted negatively like those of us who currently are! And no I don't blame refugees, I'd flood the country and scam my way into the country if I could, I blame our government for allowing it!!!

Most of the people in question are in fact out and out racists and targeting refugees purely for that reason.

Based on what? The voices in your head?

We have evidence that the attack in Fermanagh was by White Far Left violent thugs, people charged.

What is your evidence?

Your own account was only created in August 2022, should we be wary of far left scare tactics on boards😂

How can you be sure, as you say that these people will now get accommodation? You can’t be sure. They have lived wild for a long time, have been attacked in hostels and there is no room in the state.

Usually there is help provided after a publicised traumatic attack like that. Highly likely they will be looked after and they should. It was a good way to get them into accommodation. Once again showing the lack of intellect involved in the far right but we expect that.

Pretty good chance. A lot of people will be horrified to read what these lads went through.

I wouldnt be so sure all these people will be given any accomodation at all. Many of them may just disappear into city street sleeping.

There are thousands of Irish who aren't white, that's the distinction.

SafeSurfer

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120170906#Comment_120170906

So you have gone from being sure to highly likely yet immediately dismiss evidence as being unnecessary.

What is your evidence that this was a far right attack?

Is it possible they were just neighbours sick of a group of men living and defecting beside them for two years.

Maybe as they claimed they were vigilantes after someone had been attacked.

Why was the Irish Times journalist there at the time of the attack and why did they fail to record it. It would have been a major scoop.

SafeSurfer

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120170941#Comment_120170941

As there are thousands of Scots and Portuguese that aren’t white so why the distinction?

eggy81

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120170872#Comment_120170872

Inevitable when the government keeps going down this route. It’s happened everywhere else in the world where mass illegal immigration has occurred and I don’t mean the Ukrainian refugees here.

Why do you think Ireland will be any different.

Thats what we are discussing. The real world where far right violent thugs went into Ashtown to beat up homeless people because they're not Irish.

Now, with the cesspool that is social media, if they didn't make that distinction, what narrative would you think would gain legs? I guarantee it would involve certain far right dog whistle buzz words, "undocumented unvetted" "military age" "cultural enrichment"

Jarhead_Tendler

Terrible thing for those people to do.

SafeSurfer

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120171006#Comment_120171006

So now you are claiming to know, what happened, who was involved, what they represented and the motives for the attack.

That’s frog like conclusion jumping.

eggy81

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120170929#Comment_120170929

most don’t give a toss about Irish homeless and what happens to them. People would walk right by a violent assault in the street and record it on their phones and put it on social media rather than helping. Why would they be overly concerned about this incident?

SafeSurfer

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120171012#Comment_120171012

Why is a distinction of colour only necessary when the perpetrators are white?

Being honest have you ever heard a perpetrator of a crime being described as “black Irish”? Honestly now.
