I read Mr. Thunder's Irish Times article back in August. Five minutes of my life I'll never get back.

A lazy, lazy article filled with typical right-wing cliches, which amounted to nothing more than a whinge that a majority of people don't think like him.

No analysis of why his worldview has fallen in popularity to such an extent, no solutions for how "conservatism" should evolve or adapt to the modern world, nothing to back up his thesis that "conservatives" are being "silenced", just a whinge.

And that's the right's problem, not just the bat**** crazy, toxic far right but the more bog standard shade of plain old "conservatism". Everything with them is a whinge. They have no positive worldview, only a deeply negative one, and no constructive ideas for society. Turning the clock back 60 or 100 years, as so many of them would love to do, isn't a solution. Their only strategy is to blame others.

Even the moderate wing of the Tories such as Ken Clarke and Anna Soubry have now seen through the complete intellectual void that is at the heart of modern "conservatism" (which is an oxymoron).

Plenty of clichés in the above post.

I find that one cannot have a rational discussion with someone who keep using words like racism, far right, alt right, right wing etc. as part of their counterargument. It usually just shows the lack of intellect in a topic.
The good news is that there is an ignore list, and you are its newest member.

I am completely saddened....

Every single survey of best and worst countries for quality of life, corruption, tolerance of minorities, crime etc routinely has the same countries at the top and the same ones at the bottom.

I would be more than happy to take Danes or Swiss people into Ireland, I feel we could learn and benefit from them. African countries? Not so much. Why are those countries failing? Importing the cultural values and customs that underpins sh*thole countries can only harm Ireland. It really isn't difficult.

No, just home truths.

I'd say the 2015 same sex marriage referendum and the 2018 referendum on the 8th Amendment are pretty indisputable proof that the majority don't share his views.

As is pretty much every election in Ireland for yonks.

"Conservatives" have a massive platform in the Irish media.

It's nobody else's fault except their own that their "arguments" are so transparently disingenuous, turgid and/or boorish that they just serve to push people well away from their views.

None of them seem to know what it is they're complaining about, or if they know, they have a total inability to be honest about what it is they're complaining about.

However there have a few high profile Irish "conservative" voices who have strayed into honesty.

Kevin Myers strayed into honesty when he called single mothers "mothers of bastards" and then resorted to anti-semitic stereotypes.

John Waters strayed into honesty when he engaged in rampant homophobic abuse and basically called for a Catholic theocracy.

George Hook strayed into honesty when he implied there was no such thing as marital rape and then blamed a rape victim for her own rape on air.

Gemma O'Doherty has recently strayed into honesty. She also outed herself as a reving anti-semite, an anti-vax crank, and a borderline neo-Nazi in the process.

These four "conservative voices" strayed into honesty. And they're telling cases about why most conservatives are so frequently dishonest in their "arguments".

It's because when "conservatives" are honest, their views turn out to be utterly abhorrent and toxic, and ones which any reasonable person wouldn't touch with a 40 foot pole.

I thought this was a wind up till I saw the op account is 10 years old.

Who exactly told you that these men are uneducated?

You do realise that we will need hundreds of thousands of emigrants to pay my pension in the next 20 years?

Are you suggesting that these emigrants Need to be white chatholics? I'll be very honest here, I've paid into the Irish tax system since I left school in 1982 aged 14. I have helped bail the country out twice now. I help pay the pension of the richest OAPS Ireland has ever known. I could care less if the taxpayers supporting me in my retirement are Muslim, Catholic or from Mars. So long as they pay tax & I get my state pension after 54 years working I don't care if I hear the call to prayer twice a day from O Connell Street.

Listen to doctor David thunder ( cool name) who is an Irish academic based in Spain, he writes and occasionally appears on "the right side" podcast.

His thesis is that transporting Africans etc to Ireland is a flawed policy and that it does nothing to tackle the problems in those nations either, he believes we in the west must help developing countries but that the current policy is about dealing with the demographic decline of Western Europe, he also writes about how the echo chamber Irish media cannot fathom the idea that immigration could be anything but a positive, that being pro immigration is an article of faith for Irish liberals and how unconditional belief in any policy is highly dangerous

I pointed out why its dangerous in my previous post. The Continent of Africa is 10x the size of Europe [including Ireland and the UK] Importing them in with no standards or limits will cripple if not outright destroy our economies.

We've been helping 3rd World Countries for Decades [via tax dollars and charity money] and they're still 3rd World Countries. Maybe its time to close the check books and let them stand on their own. "I'll just go to America or Europe" should no longer be an option.

Very telling what Minister Stanton said about the rate of Refugee applications rising significantly. Being RTÉ this was glossed over, naturally.
If our system is so bad and harsh why are the rates rising? Granted there’s a lot of upheaval in the world but I have a fair inclination to believe we are seeing more and more economic migrants coming under the refugee guise.
The fact we accept “refugees” from South Africa of all places severely undermines the integrity of the system and process.

Ireland has a very weak right wing press. We are bombarded nightly with “homeless” sob stories and fussy feel good refugee stories. No one ever ever asks where the funding comes from (ie hardworking taxpayers pay packets) to pay for and support the endless steam of bleedin hearts and their followers. Rationale and right has been drowned out completely, if you dare question the cosy concenus you’re either racist or evil.

Look what happened to them?

They collapsed due to lack of support.

The same reason Renua never got off the ground.

There is no appetite for an economically far right party like that in Ireland.

It's unlikely to happen either because there's a very high crossover between those who have far right-wing views in economic terms and "religious whack jobs and fruit loops", as you put it. Renua is proof of that.

And "libertarianism" has never been much of thing outside of internet forums.

It is after hours after all. Clearly I know we’re an island and thank god for that. Probably one of the reasons Dublin has avoided the ghettoes that plague cities in France and the U.K. and now Germany. So far.

The wall I am referring to is our administrative one ie our immigration and asylum policy. We have built a lovely little country here over the past 100 years. Let’s not ruin it by letting in hordes of Muslims and Africans who have no education and don’t share our culture and values but will certainly have no problem banging out 6-12 kids courtesy of our welfare state. A good idea would be what the Brits are trying to do now. Albeit when you visit Luton or Coventry the phrase bolting the stable door comes to mind!! Basically their view is sure you can get a visa if you have a job that pays 30k. This allows us to get the educated migrants and forget the rest. Why is every debate in our cowardly media framed that it is somehow Ireland problem to feed educate and clothe potentially hundreds of millions of african men. No mention of the fact we can’t afford to educate and house our own people!! I didn’t sign up for that and my kids didn’t sign up for that either. If the do gooders and champagne socialists want to help them out let them feck off to Africa and do it. Leave our country out of it.

Paul Mason estimates that in any country, at least 10% of the population are simply "fascist bastards".

Peter Casey blatantly played from the far right playbook in the presidential election and got 23% on a very low turnout. Generalised vilification of an ethnic group is bona fide far right - it's no different in principle to what happened in 1930s Germany.

There is a latent far right tendency in Ireland but it has so far been kept pretty much under wraps in party politics.

We thankfully don't have much of a far right presence in everyday politics because i) normal, reasonable Irish people reject far right politics and ii) the type of people who are far right by nature tend to be of very low calibre - poor speakers, utterly incompetent and useless, have terrible policies, and thus make terrible politicians.

What Ireland certainly does have is a vocal and far outsized far right presence on internet forums and the likes.

I'd venture that the vast majority of far right cranks are constantly polluting forums like this and others in an effort to portray their views as more common than they actually are in real life, i) in an effort to gain electoral popularity and ii) because they have nothing better to do, most of them being unhappy single males who have never had sex and have pretty much no hope of ever doing so.

I see that he exhibited psychological projection on his last post when he brought sex into the discussion. Something I see a lot with these types of posters. Sad really.

It's about time that these clowns were privatised and earned their wage on what viewers think, and not by some State imposed taxation that people are threatened with time behind bars if they don't pay.

Bar some sporting events, what good television do these useless public sector clowns produce?

I don’t think I’ve really ever mentioned the Russian regime. Or anything internal to that regime. Whenever I ask for examples you disappear.

Contrary to this you in fact accuse people you dislike of being Russians. Not just pro regime. The implication being that Russians are a “nefarious”’actors in themselves.

Also accusing everybody you dislike of being Russian stooges is not just a neo-McCarthyism but not much more than an ad hominem. There’s no arguments but generalise ad hominens in your posts.

What's your view on the Holomodor? Do you consider it a genocide?

What's your view on how the Soviet Army stood back and let the the people of the Warsaw Ghetto be slaughtered by the Nazis?

Why do you deliberately confuse extreme dislike of the actions of the Russian regime/s, with anti-Russian bigotry?

Do you also deliberately confuse dislike for the US government with anti-American bigotry?

Do you deliberately confuse dislike for the history of British imperialism, the actions of the British Army in Ireland and the ridiculous carry on of the hard Brexiteers, with generalised anti-British bigotry?

Do you confuse hatred of Naziism with anti-German bigotry?

Or do you only do this in relation to the Russian regime?
