The beauty of free speech. Let cunts reveal themselves.
I wonder if he got up to something that heās worried about, big āI was only investigated as the guards were out to get meā energy of these tweets
Paddy, Paddy, Paddyā¦
The hero we donāt deserve.
Interesting mix of āIreland is fullā types, lads with the Tricolour and the Palestinian flag in their bio and other assorted crusty sorts
That isnāt how the world and the informational landscape we exist in now works at all.
The game is heavily rigged in favour of the worldās biggest cunts. āLibertarianismā has turned the world into the film Idiocracy.
Thatās why liberal democracies and reason based societies are destined to fall.
Yes quite a number of edgelords alright
Theyāll fail because the left have disappeared up their own holes . The looney left has destroyed society far more than any despot or loudmouth on twitter ever will.

How do you think itās rigged mate?
The overlap between these types and how they get brought together is fascinating. The Russians and indeed the western right wing have some very clever āpolitical technologistsā identifying fault lines and various areas of common ground to bring low information people together.
The anti-vaccine thing was one area.
Hatred for Jews is another.
Packaging of batshit insanity as ācoolā and āedgyā is another great way to bring simple lads like @glenshane and @Thomas_Brady over to the far right.
Packaging Russian imperial genocide, ie. literally the exact same what Hitler did when he invaded Poland, as āanti-imperialismā, thatās another.
No surprise tommy the mouse isnāt a fan of the shades

Iād say theres a fair overlap of the type of people who drove from all over the country for the Shell to Sea protests and the types who follow Paddy and his ilk slavishly
āLibertarianismā holds that the worth of opinion can only be measured by the amount of engagement it generates.
The most stupid and the most hateful opinions and the most shouty opinions garner the most engagement. Therefore, according to ālibertarianismā, these are the opinions which have the most worth.
This is how Elon Musk runs Twitter. Amplify idiocy and hate, drown out reason.
In an era of information overload, attention spans have collapsed. Idiocy and hate sells and reason and context do not sell. Lowest common denominator sells. Pied pipers, utter charlatans, sell. Being deplorable sells. This is demonstrably true.
This is why we have Donald Trump and Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson and every other two bit US right wing demagogue. Itās why we have Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage and Lozza Fox and Piers Morgan and every other Murdoch inspired English demagogue. Itās why we have Jamie Bryson.
And Mick Wallace and Paddy Cosgrave.
Paddy Cosgrave is a person of no intrinsic talent. He has knowledge of the world of self-promotion. This is not a talent. He markets himself as a deplorable because he knows this strategy works.

The time Gardai protected workers going to work mate
There was nothing inherently wrong with the idea of Shell to Sea. There was nothing inherently wrong with the idea of protests against water charges. Thereās nothing inherently wrong with being pro-Palestinian freedom. Thereās nothing inherently wrong with housing protests. Thereās nothing inherently wrong with having a healthy scepticism about some of the practices of pharmaceutical companies. Thereās nothing wrong with having a healthy cynicism about how media works. There was nothing wrong with protesting against the Iraq War. Most if not all of these things were eminently sensible and at the very least legitimate ideas if you had considered the issues properly.
The problem, as always is people.
What smart but amoral people on the spectrum of right wing political strategy/pro-Russia chaos agentism understood very well was that a lot of people who are loud and who actively āprotestā are actually buffoons who donāt think very much, who can be easily split off from perfectly legitimate ideas and pushed into batshit fucknuttery with a few dumb slogans and well placed conspiracy theories and lies.
This is all just as true for the hard left. Twitter amplified those opinions prior to Musk however I seem to remember you stating once that they were a company and so could censor who they wished. That still holds only your āsideā have fallen foul.
Social media has ruined interactions.
