    What relevance is a person being Jewish? Also I'm guessing you're jumping into George Soros conspiracy territory...

    Same relevance as when Whites are called out for their privilege,
    we need to talk about Jewish privilege.

    And there are PLENTY of socialist countries that are not basket cases. Like Denmark. Like Norway, Sweden Germany etc.

    They are social democracies. All three have a comprehensive welfare state and multi-level collective bargaining based on of free-market capitalism.

    I don’t think you know what socialist means. You should be covering this next year for your CSPE exam.

    Cteven I'm going to level with you here: I really don't have the material to keep this up. Nor do I really have the same kind of passion that I had in my youth. It's clear we're not going to see eye-to-eye on this matter so... ask yourself, is it really worth continuing this?

    Nothing I say and no amount of evidence I present will convince you otherwise so I don't really see the point in continuing. Though I will note that I'm not American, just that as I'm sure you understand, living in the Anglosphere as we do in Ireland, it's easy to pick up American idioms and expressions.

    Bottom line: if you want to get the last word in, now would be a good point to do it.
    Noel Ignatiev, Historian, formlerly of Harvard University and Author of "How the Irish became white"
    "Whiteness is a form of racial oppression, Treason to whiteness is loyalty to Humanity. The goal of abolishing the white race is on its face so desirable that some may find it hard to believe that it could incur any opposition"

    Talking about "whiteness" as a social construct that has its basis in white privilege (not being discriminated against on your skin colour because you're white, etc.), not about "the displacement of whites in Western nations.".
    Susan Sontag, writer and philosopher
    "The White race is the Cancer of Human history"

    Again, not talking about "the displacement of whites in Western nations.".
    Barbara Lerner Spectre, director of the European Institute for Jewish Studies "Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. And I think we are going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies that they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the center of that"
    [...] Few, if any, European Jewish leaders will share her views, but the relevance of her judgment is not the issue here. Hate-promoters picked up the broadcast and shared it en masse, presenting it as proof that Jews intend to take over Europe. Over recent years, this broadcast has attracted a barrage of at least 50, if not many more, articles and postings on hate sites and blogs, including Stormfront, a large white-supremacist site. Antisemitic hate reactions have overwhelmed Google, making it difficult to find any other statements by Spectre using the search engine.[...]

    And a third time, not talking about "the displacement of whites in Western nations.".

    Three people is not "many, many Jews", no matter what way you cut it.

    Did anyone see prime time last night?

    Did you think it was fair and balanced?

    Oh Christ, just caught up. I'm anti Semitic apparently. And you don't believe that I'm a woman. FFS. Haven't the energy for that. By globalists I mean the tiny percentage of billionaires who own a disproportionate amount of the world's wealth and whose interests are served by the erosion of nation states. I never said a single word about Jewish people unless it's one of these famous "dog whistles" I hear so much about.

    Eh, Jewish people as a grouping have been historically subjected to large amounts of bigotry because they are Jewish. Also had loads of conspiracies around them controlling the world in the background which doesn't sound dissimilar to what you're saying. So not remotely similar to white privilege.

    Chance at the last word? I'm all over that:D

    Don't worry, the majority reading the thread will have realised as such.

    Okay, well, all I'll say then is that you're either knowingly or unknowningly repeating antisemitic tropes.

    i.e. Jews disproportionately control most or all of the world's wealth (or otherwise hold disproportionate power over Western nations) and they want to erode/destroy Western nations. And those aren't exactly new notions.

    Oh, does that mean you're the kind of person who thinks dog-whistles don't exist?

    Honestly it's getting to the stage where it's looking like it's you who may be the antisemite, as you're clearly projecting. You're the only one thinking of Jews when people mention globalism.

    “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”- ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

    Right... Suppose I mustn't have linked articles discussing that it's a phenomenon these days! Oh and please, "no u" is really the kind of tepid memery that should be left on 4chan.

    Deportations provide a politically expedient option. Closing borders to begin with provides a politically expedient option


    deportations already happen when and where required, we are not going to simply deport people without finding out as to whether they have an actual case to remain or not, or because they are black or brown, or whatever other nonsense reason. you will just have to get used to that.
    closing our borders on a general level isn't going to be viable, in saying that a temporary closure may become necessary from time to time where pandemics may be concerned but that's a separate discussion.
    The plastic coating off copper wire ? , rubbish ?


    presumably just the stuff belonging to brown and black people though?
    it's brown and black people these particular arsonists have an issue with.
    Often thought the same.

    Why is there no centers in rathmines Rathgar ballsbridge etc ?

    presumably because there are no suitable empty buildings in those areas.
    in more remote areas there can be such suitable empty buildings due to rural decline, hence it makes sense to use the available capacity and perhapse even create some local employment.
    certainly if particular areas are deliberately being excluded from hosting direct provision accommodation when it actually is available within those areas, then that should be rectified.

    ticking a box on a form does not make you of a religion.

    The Libyan individual who went on a stabbing spree in the UK cannot be deported after his prison sentence because Libya is a war zone. It is against his human rights.

    That's not great for anyone

    Not really sure what that has to do with rising right-wing extremism in Ireland, though.

    The same report talks about jihadist groups too. Northern Irish nationalists also got a mention.

    Far right attacks and Jihadist attacks are two of the highest dangers in Europe now. Lock them all up

    I see.

    Would you perhaps like to make a thread to discuss that separate topic? Getting a little tired of the desperate attempts to drag this one off-topic.

    If I started a thread about jihadists in Europe it would be shot down immediately.

    The report spoke about jihadists too. I just mentioned it . But you are correct. That's not the thread. I will pull up the handbrake on the old jihad talk. Fair enough

    Is that the same Europol who found a position for Noirin O'Sullivan, the one who "mislaid" her phones and laptop and who even with the help of her detective inspector husband couldn't manage to locate any of them and then off she heads to Europol to solve crime leaving a trail of destruction after her, not a bother on her the scoundrel

    Presumably NOS gave her phone and PC back to the GS IT Unit in the Depot where they were wiped and either scrapped or reissued, depending on their condition; as happens in every Government Body that I've ever been involved with. But please don't allow the application of a modicum of common sense and a bit of cop-on prevent you from sharing the contents of your fertile imagination with your devoted followers.

    There is no such thing as 'free-Market capitalism' and there can't be practically --you simply can't have competing energy grids, sanitation systems, motorways and so on.

    'Free Markets' mean perfect competition which means what you have to sell your competitor also has, which means perpetual price war and less profits.

    Try getting dealers to undercut each other on a new car and you'll get a taste of the 'free market'. Sure, they might fill the tank, throw in a set of mats and a years tax but the difference across the state will be negligible.
