TwiX (Part 2) The bird is Xtinct

[Thomas_Brady]

That’s a despicable tweet.

[TheUlteriorMotive]

It’s outrageous. It’s the equivalent of tweeting (if Twitter existed) after Jamie Bulger was murdered #notallkids

[Batigol]

The saddest thing about Twitter is that there’s people out there who actually think it matters

[Juhniallio]

It matters in that it has undue influence on our elected representatives, that’s all.

[EmilioButragueno]

Of the highest order. If you’re undecided about an issue look at what he says and then go with the opposite. A moron.

Only a small thing, sure it wouldn’t really affect our daily lives.

[TheBird]

Are we at peak woke yet?

Imagine Aodhan had gone to college 10-15 years later. He is pretty insufferable as a try hard mid 40s wokester, if he had gone to college during cancel culture era I shudder to think of what he would come out with.

[Thomas_Brady]

The mind truly boggles.

To be honest Tim it is hard to see how he could be any worse .

[Julio_Geordio]

Everytime I see him I think of this and laugh. Very childish of me I know

Ireland politics (Part 1)

This is the chap who was bullied relentlessly at school by a number of forumites and labelled Gaydawn O Queerdawn by them. He’s overcome tougher challenges than being elected to Dublin Bay North and I concur with your prediction that he will lead the Labour Party.

[flattythehurdler]

I do too tbh.

We’ll look back at these times and wonder what the fuck happened to allow an opinion or a poorly expressed thought be used to cancel somebody.

Opinions you don’t agree with it used to be challenged and debated. Now they are weaponised to destroy careers and lives.

I hope so but I fear this is what society has become and here’s no going back.

It has gone too far but on the opposite side of the argument racism and hate speech is far less acceptable than it used to be. That is no bad thing.

[Thomas_Brady]

Social Democrat election candidate apologizes for allegedly racist comments |...

[backinatracksuit]

There’s more people reading gript now on TFK than the Sunday Indo, obviously a result of the ban on visiting elderly parents

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

The lack of condemnation from @glasagusban is telling.

[Thomas_Brady]

That was sent to me… I’ve a friend that has had their personal and professional life almost ruined by Twitter. I can’t help but think that the irish Twitter space went rapidly down hill after a member of TFK went off and took posts from here to an elected official for Limerick City… You can map the decline of Twitter from that exact moment.

Funny how some fellas on here saw little issue with that, yet are losing their rag over tweets or links being posted up here from twitter.

The mental gymnastics required for posting on here at times is incredible.
