    It's incredibly relevant when you're praising a guy who has arguments that are effectively conspiracy theories about an evil world elite intent on executing the 'Kalergi plan' and QAnon nonsense as well. The Nazis also spread such conspiracies about the evil international elite.

    Fyi, Godwin thinks the term is far less relevant to the present day. You didn't have Charlottesville marches back in 1990. I would classify Rowan as very much very so of the same type as those in Charlottesville. Expresses the exact same views. So let's call a spade, a spade.

    You are doing Goodwin's Law all over again here, aka. insinuating that anybody who is right-of-centre or against open borders and mass immigration is some kind of Nazi.

    Would you prefer contrasts to the modern day Klan or Richard Spencer? There's a lot of ye doing a poor job of pretending to not be racist.

    Also....you must also remember that Grand Torino is his pseudo name for online persona that you are seeing. He doesn't wake up in the morning yammering on about immigration over his corn flakes which I imagine the people who are calling for him to get a mental check up think.
    That's my point though, about it being deliberate. He is happy to exploit the gullible nitwits who fawn over him in here for money, the damage he and his very intentional lies and the bullsh*t he tries to spout on the back of them, cause to society. Frankly I have an even lower opinion of him for it than I would if he legitimately believed what he sh*tes on about. Disingenuous, bottom feeding cretins like him are an absolute cancer on society.

    Definitely didn't have you pegged as likewise, though! :pac:

    Yeah the feral thing one of his favourite lines. The Irish "are ready to be barbarians again."

    He's fully bought into the Q-Anon nonsense too, check this out for a laugh.

    I have friends in their early thirties who do. Hook, line & sinker. I don't know how they've made themselves so permeable to this scatological tripe as they're Irish. If they'd grown up in the US, I could understand possibly.

    He's obviously talking about people being jailed for non-payment of their tv licence but he seems to think that it's RTÉ that do that as opposed to An Post.

    Don't really know what that has to do with the shoite Grand Torina and Gemma O’Doherty spout and their credibility or lack there of.

    Nah they just physically throw out people who disagree with them out of hotels

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    The point about it is the hypocrisy. He uses the veil of 'nationalism' to hide his bigotry (racism, sexism, homophobia - he has the full gamut), yet he was nationalistic enough to pledge allegiance to the queen of England? Bull****.

    Throughout the entire Trump-Russia investigation, Q Anon maintained that it would come to nothing and there would be no indictments relating to collusion with Russia during the election.

    The majority of the Western media pushed literally hundreds of stories day in day out and it turns out they were all fabricated lies.

    So in the context of the Russia investigation it was the Western media pushing the wild conspiracy theories.

    Facebuke is a bit like boards.ie in that random individuals, and a private company can control the discourse, censoring out any views they don't like.
    So in the same way that you, as a mod (though not a mod in this forum) just branded GT as a far right racist, facebuke have done the same to Tommy Robinson in the UK. GT is quite correct to take measures now to try to protect his own free speech and independence, before the same thing happens to him.
    If either of these characters were in fact engaging in any kind of hate speech, as opposed to just free speech, then there are laws in both the UK and Ireland for dealing with that. And plenty of people who would be very quick to report the matter to the police.


    In this context its worth noting that TR was unlawfully locked up in solitary confinement last year at the behest of such people. On appealing all the way up to the very top (the UK Supreme Court) he was exonerated; his conviction was quashed and he was released. That very expensive appeal was made possible by donations he had received through his youtube and facebuke channel "donate" buttons. It was only after justice was served that the corporations attempted to cut off his funding.

    They were annoyed that money channeled through their media was used to free a man that had been unlawfully locked up.

    What does that tell you about their respect for proper "due process" in a real court of law?

    Or put another way (reality).

    Stephens lawyers argued with the Court of Appeal not the Supreme Court on several points of law and technicalities that weren't followed.

    He was by no means exonerated and he is currently out on bail and will have to answer the charges in a new trial.
