Santa is a class enemy who raises the expectation of children by temporarily enriching them. This focuses on philanthropy instead of solidarity, this focuses on charity instead of the redistribution of wealth. A false prophet dressed in the colours of his sponsor, Coca Cola.

Are you aware that in the Anglosphere there are different meals per day? Brekkie in the morning. Lunch perhaps around 1pm if the cooked dinner isn't due til 5 or 6. Grainne seems to be suggesting that the residents were given a small sandwich and a soup for their Christmas dinner. Do you have proof that this is the case, or that this wasn't merely to tide them over between brekkie and dinner, or that Grainne even has a mole inside the DP centre? You remind me of the type of person who believes the Pakistani security guard in work who tells him he is only in the job because racist Ireland refuses to recognise his heart surgery qualifications. :pac::pac::pac:

Two sets of largely unemployable, bitter, and mostly deeply, deeply unhappy people. Indeed there is a large cross over between people who would once have voted for PBP etc in the water charges days who joined the Gembots when they read about Murphy et al's attitudes to immigration. On a meme group on Facebook of which I'm a member a user shared a FB post from an Irish left head the ball on Christmas (he leads a rather wacky group of nerds called the Connolly Youth Movement and frequently uses his FB to threaten assassinations and executions of establishment figures all the way down to civil servants) :pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac: I saw another post by this lad where he ordered his acolytes to use Tinder solely for spreading Marxist propaganda. It is frankly hilarious that the left here take a moral high ground, or that they believe that their mob are any more a part of mainstream Irish society than the Anti Corruption Ireland crowd. Ranting about aspects of popular culture, threatening to execute members of the establishment and seize their homes, claiming that their movement is popular enough to see through a violent people's rebellion......it all reminds me of somebody else. About the only distinction between the two is that a far larger amount of the hard left side have 3rd level qualifications. Completely useless 3rd level qualifications that nobody respects, but 3rd level nonetheless :pac:

ohnonotgmail wrote: » that they style themselves the Connolly Youth Movement should be a pretty broad clue as to their beliefs. But they are a youth movement and young people tend to have pretty strong beliefs until they get a bang of the real world. the likes of Gemma have no such excuse. Plus the CYM don't go around harassing people on camera nor do they believe anything half as nutty as Gemma so I don't see the comparison between them.

Eric Cartman wrote: » IMO believing in communism, or that its a viable system is way more nuts than 5G or antivaxx stuff, both of which are pretty high up on the scales of stupid things to believe in. But we'll have to agree to disagree as I'd imagine you don't see it as the horror show of humanity that I do.
Eric Cartman wrote: » Because "America has brainwashed us all to hate communism" "Ireland needs to ban American tourism and impoverish rural Ireland so they can see the light of communism" " close down the meat factories and install communism" "fine geal are facsists out to oppress the poor for their American overlords" "we should be defending ultras (football hooligans) groups as theyre a working class army to help with the revolution" is so much better. Its nuts, its classist hate crime against those who've done well, theyre advocating for violence against the middle and upper echelons of society and blaming America or the Torys for everything. Inciting violence, praising dictators like Stalin and Castro. Don't get me wrong, Gemma and dee are nuts but I can't recall off the top of my head when either of them praised the works of Adolf hitler by name, this crowd proudly espouse the works of Stalin, a more brutal dictator with a higher kill count.

How can you promote and celebrate Ireland when people bombed fishing boats with children on board for Ireland? That's how the 'guilt by association' tactic works, right?
