Blue sky has replaced x and twiter

For my sins, I just spent the last 45 minutes or so trawling through Eoin Murphy’s Twitter timeline. It’s like a textbook case of online radicalisation, a veritable bingo game of right wing and far right hot takes. I do my own my own research on these headbangers so you don’t have to.

Over the last six months Eoin Murphy @eoinscruff has retweeted the following:

Eilis O’Hanlon

Some head the ball praising Matt Le Tissier

A creepy right-wing American tweeter named Eli David trying to ridicule Greta Thunberg

Peadar Toibin of Aontu

Declan Ganley calling for a “conservative president” of Ireland

An anti-trans tweet by Peadar Toibin

Far right headbanger Sharon Keogan

More random anti-Eamon Ryan stuff

An anti-refugee tweet by John McGuirk

Tweets himself “Aontu are the only party speaking sense at the moment”

Creepy anti-Roderic O’Gorman rhetoric

An anti-trans tweet by Aontu

A random right-wing curmudgeon from Carlow named “Con Murphy” (not the good Con Murphy formerly of RTE)

Niall Boylan ranting about “Davos”

Somebody from the pro-Trump astro-turf organisation “Turning Point USA” who tweets“ Tucker Carlson is a living legend” - Murphy retweeted this specific tweet

Anti-abortion TD Carol Nolan

Tweets himself ranting about “snowflakes”

Begs some NFL journalist to unblock him after calling one of his articles “dog poo”

A simplistic internet cliché meme tweet by Richard Dawkins which soft soaps hate speech

An anti-trans tweet by Aontu

An anti-Greta Thunberg, pro-Elon Musk tweet by an account called “End Wokeness”

A climate change denying tweet by headbanger Ben Gilroy

Some random gobshite moaning about how the words of Fairytale of New York are supposedly being censored

A guy called Luke O’Connor of the “Irish Freedom Party”

Peadar Toibin again

Eilis O’Hanlon again

John McGuirk again

Gript

Peadar Toibin again

Pro-Russia US writer Matt Taibbi

Fascist Paul Joseph Watson

Dutch far right propagandist Eva Vlaardingerbroek

Extremist Irish “libertarian” Keith Redmond

Far right propagandist Ben Scallan of Gript

Gript again

Anti-trans propaganda from Talk TV featuring Julia Hartley Brewer

Alt-right Bitcoin promoter and YouTuber Layla Heilpern

The New York Post

Retweets a video of a Trump speech with emojis which make clear he likes Trump

A climate change denial video from RT (Russia Today)

A speech by Ron De Santis

Anti-vaccine grifter James Melville

GB News headbanger Calvin Robinson

He’s anti-vegetarian burgers

Seems pretty clear from who he is retweeting and the tone of the tweets he retweets that he is anti-vaccine as well and buys into at least some of the Covid conspiracy stuff.

A perfect fellow traveller for Colm Parkinson.

Is that Sutton dentist and former PD candidate Keith Redmond?

[Cheasty]

If there was an “anti-woke” GAA WhatsApp group, who’d be in it?

You’d definitely have Parkinson, Eoin Murphy and Buff Egan. Parkinson would have a place reserved for his buddy Gary “Psycho” Walsh.

Mickey Harte would be in it due to his anti-abortion views. Colm O’Rourke is a Thatcherite so he’d be in. Former Louth manager Peter Fitzpatrick is one of these independent head bangers so he’d be in.

I’ve a notion Paddy McGrath of Donegal is a bit of a wrong 'un.

He’s from that neck of the woods so I presume it’s the same person.

I think Colm O’Rourke believes in socialising losses

Checked his Twitter there. Same lad. He went rogue very quickly. After seeing the Marathon Man I wouldn’t let him near my teeth.

Fingal also gave us the Covid denying doctor Marcus De Brun.

I used to keep an eye on that Keith Redmond chap’s tweets. He genuinely came across as a lad who had a five year-old’s understanding of the world. A very angry five year old, but a five year old’s view of the world nonetheless.

Jaysus. Whats his current political bent? He was full on neo-liberal batshit when elected anyway so i can only imagine him now.
On a personal level i believe he’s sound though.

Crackpot

[Juhniallio]

Jaysus. I presumed he was bumped for tormey for equality purposes. He must be far right if FG thought him too much for them…

Crackpot

The sort of fella @Thomas_Brady and @glenshane get their views from.

Tormey has us haunted with leaflets espousing her new found love of the peninsula

He’s the sort of fella who thinks the ambulance shouldn’t come when you’ve had a heart attack unless you can hand over 200 quid first, but he’s nice about it.

I think he modelled himself on that Ron Paul chap, who was an extremely dangerous headbanger, but who seemed like a nice old man, and so fooled a hell of a lot of people into thinking he wasn’t an extremely dangerous headbanger.

[Juhniallio]

Lavin is old school malahide money. Tormey needs to build a base. Howth it is. In other news, i had the joy of being at the malahide patricks day parade. The lad on the mic was celebrating what a wonderful td GV Wright was and how malahide have fantastic tds…

Irish Twitter is a nawful place

Well be the hokey, as the man says. While I’d normally have to agree instinctively with this sort of abuse, the reason i know Redmond to be sound personally is that he opened his clinic and saw a fella very dear to me after hours, for free, so he could have open heart surgery…

[Cheasty]

Fair play, but he’s still an absolute headbanger.

[Juhniallio]

I know. My man says he is.

Explain that one? He’s a dentist

[Juhniallio]

There’s a hugely increased risk of acute microcarditis for people if they’ve had root canals would you believe. A dentist has to sign off on candidates going for heart ops so the doctors know those at an increased risk.

[Cheasty]

Myocarditis. Myo, like the pub in Castleknock.
