Wallace and Daly - Please Read Mod Warning on OP

I have , hence my comparison.

Daly I actually used have a lot of time for. However a few years back she started pushing what amounted to HPV vaccine conspiracy theories which had no factual basis. Then she and Mick started pushing propaganda for both Russia and China, even frequently showing up on their news networks.

And their credibility flew out the window out the window when they started pushing what amounted to justifications for the invasion of Ukraine, arguing that a nation who were subjected to genocide did not deserve military aid. You can say they exposed evil people but they're also acting as a propagandists for some of the most evil people around.

He's a daycent fella who stole the pension contributions of his workers and defrauded the taxpayer. But apart from that, and the dodgy Russian and Chinese stuff, he's grand altogether

Laughable that you don't think actual theft tells us about the character of a person.

His political career isn't important now - he dodged his debts, he got the Irish taxpayer to give him 100k for a few years, then he moved on to the more lucrative EU parliament. Maybe he'll ask his brother to sell him that vinyard back for a euro?

Hilarious people trying to excuse Wallace "he's a decent fella and he only stole from his employees pensions....."

If one is far out on the far left then the gardai/police are the bad guys who need to be defunded

And thieves (and last few weeks in US a murderer as we seen) are the good guy anti hero’s

Both of them are absolute scum.

You want to criticize Israel that's perfectly fair but deciding to be buddies with the Houthis as part of it is despicable. TBH if they ever do come back to Ireland they should be arrested as soon as they get off the plane.I'm sure their buddying up with the Houthis could be considered an offence under anti terrorism laws.

Ansar-Allah are shutting down the Red Sea to the sub-human barbarians who are enabling & carrying out genocide in Gaza and the West Bank in plain sight of the entire world.

Therefore, Wallace & Daly are supporting the civilised party in this dystopian US/Euro enforced hellscape crime scene.
If people support this US genocide and think W & D are mistaken then please explain why.

Awww what a sad little strawman you've created

Can't figure out why RTE were giving her a platform for that nonsense?

I can't imagine she got called out on it either.

Nonsense? Hammered?
I listened to the interview.
Jesus Christ. Is this what ye lads consider an honest interview?
Decrepit, racist, century old, 1880-1920 / Ed Bernays era colonial war propaganda? ?

I am not getting into the ‘anti-Semitic’ hasbara mis-direction trap. That conscious, cynical time-wasting has been done to death on this (site) concerning virtually all past & present Palestinian & West Asian resistance groups (and is ofc a variation of the same misdirection model, labeling resistance as terrorism, for the last 400+ years of Western colonialism across the world).

Let me rephrase the central piece of the interview as how I hear this war-mongering, savagery-normalising, boot-licking war propaganda:

SM: “But Clare - If I walked into a conference and it had posters on the wall calling for an end to a Western Oligarch created settler-colony carrying out a century of permanent war and genocide to keep control of the (oil) resources of West Asia, I would turn around and walk out – so I would Clare; because my job is as a narrative manager who ultimately serves these Western oligarchs interests, Clare”.

SM’s/RTE’s role, as always, is to
present Western (genocidal) imperialism as normal, correct and right
AND
portray ANY resistance to that depraved criminality as a combination of terrorist/ brainwashed/ anti-Semitic/ sectarian/ mad/ crazy/ lefty/ loopy/ naive etc..

Dark ages stuff.

Predictable faux-naif both sideism. Not interested.

The real criminals, as always, are the Western (and Saudi/UAE) Oligarchs.
I'm certain RTE & Irish media were frequently mocking and laughing at W & D over their support of Yemen in resisting the US/UK/Saudi war on Yemen during 2015-2022, 700k killed. That was defeated by long range missiles.
Now the US is bombing Yemen directly - in order to protect their Gaza genocide.
The evil could not be more stark.
But what do we get instead - 'Wallace & Daly are silly' or 'its complicated'.
Yeah Sure.

All Oligarchs (including Russian & even Liechtensteiner ones) causing needless human suffering are criminals. Glad to clarify.

To laugh at and mock W & D (which is what this thread is about), one has to operate this procedure (among a half dozen others):-

Both siding imperialists with those who resist imperialism; this is one of the oldest, if not THE oldest ‘defensive’ canards of Western imperialism. That is what you and others are doing now with Ansar-Allah, this after hundreds of similar resistance movements over the last 400 years. However, it doesn’t work any more, the game is up.

“If only the natives resisted our violent imperialism peacefully”.
Such lala-land make-believe gibberish.

Look, all I’m saying is own your beliefs – own your violent, chauvinist Western imperialism (it gives you a comfy life here, doesn’t it). Don’t pretend to be trying to find a middle ground.
Just own it and laugh away at W & D.
Everyone is happy that way.

What nonsensical word salad is this? Are you arguing with yourself?

Wait till you hear their position on anything related to Chinese atrocities..
