Report away.

The personal attacks on me on this forum have been coming left, right and centre, because I'm telling home truths that people like you hate.

What's your view on the Russian invasions of Ukraine and Georgia?

What's your view on widespread Russian interference in the elections of other countries?

Do you think Putin is a kleptocrat?

What's your view on the Salisbury poisoning?

What's your view of what Russia has done in Syria?

What's your view on the extra-judicial executions of Russian journalists, politicians, businesspeople etc. which have happened regularly. Who do you think is responsible?

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?

It would be interesting to get your view on these questions, if, as you claim, you're not a pro-Russian regime troll.

Why are you asking me questions that you should be able to answer if, as you said, I were already a Russian troll.

Please answer with examples of how I have already answered or shown any bias in these questions. I generally haven’t mentioned any of them, Syria aside. That’s what I asked you.

You're arguing against reality here.

Travellers are specifically an ethnic group and it's recognised in law.

But sure I wouldn't expect anything else from a far right numbnut than to argue against reality.

Arguing against reality is what your whole worldview is based on.

Lol I love it when the snowflakes get irritated. It means many a nerve us being touched! Nice

Just because it’s recognized in law doesn’t mean they actually are- paper never refused ink

Absolutely, they would be on that issue.

People who vilify ethnic groups or vilify any distinct grouping in society on the basis of their sexuality, colour, gender etc., ie. on the basis of a distinct characteristic or ethnicity or race, are by definition far right.

It's not difficult to understand, is it?

What if you criticise travellers based on the fact their culture shuns education, women's rights, environmental laws, taxation laws.

Are you still "far right"

Just want to get the technicals right.

So people are political allegiance fluid? Far right today and far left tomorrow?

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.

A lot of generalizations there.

The nearest thing we got to a far right candidate was Peter Casey and he got large support. He didnt actually say anything far righty but most far right people dont either, they just dont agree with woolly liberal type stuff and thats what the media mostly publish. Hence media sales falling and internet use rising. The Guardian is the most liberal useless rag now and its constantly appealing to its readership to donate money to keep it afloat.

At least 90% of the population of most countries are "facist bastards" and ten per cent are wooly liberals. See how politics is changing in Europe and how far from liberalism voters are going to go. Most people though dont want to draw the leftist loonies on their heads so they stay quiet and then vote for the politican who voices their feelings at the polls. What you see online is the majority of the population saying how they feel, you wont see their views in the media because most of the media are loony lefty type, all for immigrants etc except when it comes to housing them near their nice to live in areas. The areas being nice to live in because you arent surrounded by immigrants or travellers or the worst type of social housing tenant.

Democracy in action.

Simple fact is that Casey wouldn't have got 23% of the vote if he hadn't hit on something that was annoying so many people, but which was being brushed over.
