    muslims

    When muslims say people should be nicer to jews. The alt right goes INSANE!

    Being told they can't wear nazi costumes ...again drives the alt right insane.

    You'd imagine that everyone would no problem with that...but since Social Media I find certain types insufferable....they nearly put me off voting to Repeal the 8th and Marriage Equality...it's like some people have succumbed to a combination of narcissism and/or hysteria!!

    It really doesn't take a lot to trigger the right. Breathing will do it.

    Going by some of the posters on boards

    1. Going off their meds.

    2. Being angry because of people who were discriminated against for their race, sexual orientation or religious beliefs are now more accepted in society and somehow or for some reason that offends them.
    Not much can be said other than there's no cure for being a c^nt.

    3. The realisation that everyone isn't as greedy as they are.
    It's tax folks you pay it but don't get to decide what is done with it and abolishing our health, social welfare systems or what ever else you don't like doesn't mean that your going to pay less tax.

    4. Something some person on social media said that has nothing to do with Ireland and it's society.
    Both sides of the "divide" are guilty of this, put the fu%king phone down and go outside.

    Airline ads.

    Taxing the wealthy and super rich -

    "But they will leave the country!/They provide jobs!"

    Millions sitting in bank accounts or offshore, for what? The rich hoard money, they actually take money out of circulation of the economy by doing so. The rich don't create jobs - demands for products do.

    Palestinian statehood

    Nelson Mandela

    Bernie Sanders

    Mary Lou

    Democracy

    Noam Chomsky

    Norman Finkelstein

    George Galloway

    United Ireland/ Irish Republicanism

    Civil Rights campaigns in the US & Northern Ireland in the 60's

    The rise of Sinn Fein

    IRSP

    People Before Profit

    Pointing out the fact the US & other Western powers supported military coups & proped up fascistic dictators in the Middle East, Central America, South America & south east Asia. Thatcher herself protected General Pinochet, one of the most blood thirsty dictarors of the 20th century

    Pointing out the fact that the US supported Saddam Hussien & Osama Bin Laden in the 1980's, because of the flawed logic that "my enemies enemy, is my friend".

    John Pilger

    The British government sayin sorry for Bloody Sunday 1972 in Derry & saying it was unjustified & unjustifiable.

    The fact the most popular peace-time British government was the one headed by Clem Attlee right after WW2, who introduced the welfare state, public housing, the NHS, nationalizing of key industries, a safety net, all this when Britain was pretty much broke after WW2.

    Tony Benn (when he was alive)

    George Orwell remaining a Democratic Socialist until his death.

    Martin Luther King JR being a Democratic Socialist.

    When a person on the right says "see what bad things happened to Venezuela when they became Socialst", and you point out to them that the majority of Venezuela's economy is privately owned, and Chavez introduced light reforms to help poor people.

    If you're poor, you're jealous.

    If you're rich, you're a champagne socialist.

    A day out hunting game birds, nothing like a noble cock pheasant who's colours are as radiant as the most beautiful sun set over a forest... rising up into the air and you cock your trigger and he's in full flight.

    You pull the trigger and he's ready for the pot...

    Another thing that triggers the right are trout, nothing like being on a spate river and fly rod in hand, the floods dropping and that pesky sea trout is attacking the fly but he's not getting the hook....

    That's triggering might I add.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,506 ✭✭✭✭EmmetSpiceland


    Being labelled “right” or, indeed, “far right”, when appropriate.

    The tide is turning…



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,817 ✭✭✭Raconteuse


    Saying there is no such thing as free speech and there never has been.

    Criticising misogyny (unless by muslims/non muslims who are black/Asian).
