The far-right are grifters. Michael McCarthy set up a GoFundMe raising €152,965, ostensibly for food and drink for the fuel protesters. Michael McCarthy is a far-right agitator, spreading racist hate online. This beaut recently did a livestream with disgraced serial rapist, Russell Brand. What is this €150k, given in good faith by so many who were donating, going to be used for by this noxious individual?

Hitler and Nuance: Spoil Your Vote Campaign Leader
Michael McCarthy is listed as a Campaign Leader on the Spoil Your Vote Campaign. He was one of four spokespeople leaders at the campaign launch, sitting beside Declan Ganley
A few weeks beforehand he was on a livestream promoting ‘race science’ and saying people should consider both the good and bad sides of Adolf Hitler before judging Hitler, and that nuance was needed with regards Hitler’s actions.
I’ll put full quotes from McCarthy below, but I can’t get my head around someone who thinks Hitler requires ‘nuance’ is accepted as a core part of the Spoil Your Vote Campaign leadership and that’s just meant to be normal.

24:30 McCarthy argues that a leader of a right wing party should call for mass deportations as “you need someone brave enough to say right the issue is there’s millions of people in Europe that shouldn’t be in Europe. They’re worsening the quality of life for everyone. They’re much better off being sent back to their own country cos all they’re doing is ruining it for everyone here”
59:45 McCarthy basing his arguments against immigration on ‘race science’
“The government is still bringing in people that are from places that are so genetically dissimilar, like you have people coming over from groups that are that and this is the problem and it’s still kinda taboo to talk about it but the IQ difference is could be 15 points and you are bringing them into a first world society and somehow thinking they are going to integrate”
2:25:45 McCarthy describes Hitler in the following way “There’s good and bad in most people and you can kinda find nuance. It’s this idea that you can’t even talk about him, he’s all bad, everything around him is bad, you know he’s like a cancerous cell. It’s like calm down, you know let’s actually look at what he did. Somethings are bad, somethings aren’t too bad. I think he started the autobahn didn’t he”.
