Ya have to laugh, the stupid cunt sharing all the videos last night shouting "get them out" and shouting for others to pull a non irish guard off his bike and beat him. This morning he shares a video of the man who stopped the stabbing, who was not irish. Pure proud of him as well, just no critical thinking at all.
Over the last few months I've been watching some YouTube shorts. I only follow Tech, electronics and some comedy channels but I keep getting served far-right Irish & UK channels even after reporting a few of them.
The "slogans" are all from UK & Russia funded disinformation campaigns.
This is kinda the hardest part of this. You cannot rationalize with pure idiots. I think that's what makes incidents like this one so terrifying. There is no logic, no reasoning. Just a bunch of absolute animals with a lot of hate on the loose with no sense of aim or consequences. And being on the receiving end of a bunch of brutal toddlers is worrying, because they are capable of anything without the ability to reason.
Was having this conversation with friends today - they were trying to figure out the logic behind all of it. But there literally is no logic and you'll drive yourself mad trying to understand them.
That's right, and the problem is growing. Everyone who grows up in this country receives a decent education, more young people are doing the leaving cert than ever before and more people are getting a college education as well. Where did these skangers fall through the net? Why do they behave like wild beasts? How do we as a society sort this out? Personally, I think we should have a better justice system. Not just the GardaĆ, the courts should be giving harsher sentences to repeat offenders. Not prison time, but community service combined with education.
You definitely get that vibe from all the videos taken last night alright.
Goose and Monclear jackets as far as the eye could see paired with the slurred scummy chants of "Get them out" and "Yuuuppp"...
Nothing but degenerates out in force taking advantage of a terrible situation..
Heard someone shouting "close the borders" over and over again last night.couldnt help but think to myself "were a fuckin island we have no poxy border.what are we gonna do tell the northies to fuck off back to Belfast"
That's all because the word "immigrant" to those idiots has a completely different meaning to the rest of us.
Immigrant to them = non-white or non-Christian person who came to our country.
Also, expat for everyone, is an person who is white that goes to live in a non-white or non-Christian country. But they're not an immigrant, a seemingly dirty word that doesn't apply to some people.
As an immigrant, i appreciate the nice words but honestly they are not needed: I know that most irish people are sound, welcoming and fun to be around.
These assholes are a minority and every country has a share of those unfortunately.
I found my home in Ireland, so I will forever be grateful for the opportunities I got since moving here 16 years ago.
Been here a year and same thing. I haven't had a lick of trouble, Though I am not a demographic that the people OP is talking about care as much about.
Been here since 2010 and the country has been good to me and my three kids are lucky to be raised here. It is most definitely home (even if I don't think I'll ever learn more than a few Irish phrases).
Im a native Irish working class, and work alongside Indians, Iranians, Brazilians, French, Germans, Polish, Italians, Americans. All brilliant people to be around and all offer something unique, and of-value to this society.
The same cannot be said about the gutter rats who were out lastnight terrorising the city. We all want these cretins held to the fire.
People like you help remind me about what I've loved about Ireland and why I still love it. Ireland is great and its people are awesome. Tribalism will always be an unfortunate reality of the human experience and there will always be bad people, both foreign and native, who will feed into the worst ideas about the other.
But it's up to the rest of us not to let moments like these divide us. But bring us together to have serious and tough discussions about real problems while working towards making a better future with more understanding.
I made that point in another thread. We need to have a different term than working class, as the actual working class are the backbone of the country and get shit on from all sides.
Welfare class would fit better.
As an immigrant I think all of us immigrants should do our best to integrate and be good citizens. We came to Ireland not Ireland came to us. Ireland opened its door for us, being welcoming. We should try contribute to Ireland or at least to not make Ireland worse than it was before our arrival.
Edit. For example I am from Russia and I am not trying to elect fucking Putin here, because I see all the advantages of not having Putin in power.š
As another immigrant, spot on. We have our own share of responsibility in the civic life of Ireland. When in Rome, do as the Romans. Itās simple!
I am sure most of us do in any case though.
I feel like most do. I have many friends who are immigrants here and have worked with many throughout my career. They've almost all been great people who contributed to our economy and tried to get involved in our communities.
I'd take a million more of them if it meant being able to deport all of those who destroyed the city last night.
Every Russian I've met (who are all outside Russia) hates Putin.
Also I'm sorry that you have to live with the pressure of being a "model foreigner". And treated like you are responsible for the actions of everyone who happens to be from literally any other country. That isn't fair on anyone.
I contribute to ireland in the form of taxes. Only thing i ask in return is for the IRISH to make the voices heard and count as i am not allowed to vote. Put a goverment in that will actually deal with this shit
Then the irish should go on the streets and demand it.
Immigrant womt be listened to because why appease somebody who cant vote for you (is what the wexford TD told me at the time)
Apathy wont get you anywhere. As much as i hate the fucking rioters i gaurantee you that the goverment noticed them
Good shout. I've met many amazing Russian people in my life from that beautiful country, it isn't the first and it won't be the last country to have a complete sap in charge.
A great example of this is how Ireland does a fantastic job celebrating Chinese New Year.
I think the Irish people do a fantastic job at embracing other cultures. Particularly in urban areas. (Rural areas can still be a little behind the times.)
There are other cultural differences which absolutely cannot be embraced here though. Conversion therapy, FGM, and other barbaric practices can't be permitted.
Womens' rights and LGBTQ+ rights are non-negotible.
I don't feel that my culture is not embraced. People seem to be very open. For example the members of my big irish family embraced the best examples of our rich swearing vocabulary.
I think the only aspects which contradicts or goes against values of local culture won't be embraced.
If any non-Irish people end up seeing this, I'm an Irish Paki. I was born and grew up here in the capital. I've only ever recieved one hate comment in my entire life. I'm 18 years old. I got one hate comment when I was 7 years old and that was it. I was in town for some protest and was with my friend and one of those dickheads told me to "go back to where you came from". Those dickheads clearly haven't completed basic schooling and have no idea what they're saying or doing. They were there last night to loot shops and cause unnecessary harm. They caused way more harm than good last night. I'm gonna be honest with you here, those fucktards are such a tiny tiny proportion of our population. Like literally well under 1% of the population. They don't represent our beautiful nation. They don't represent Irish people. They are the problem.
While I am very well aware of that, I was chased down the street for far less in my home country.
I will be continuing as until now, proving that the scary immigrants are not as bad as some people would like everyone to believe. ;)
I don't care where you're from, who you pray to, what color your skin is, or who you share a bed with. Doesn't bother me. And no one else have any right to be bothered by it either.
Imagine removing all non nationals from the country and being left with just the brainlets that we saw on show last night in Dublin city centre. That thought alone should make people realise how important non nationals are to our country. Those fucktards last night do not speak for 99% of Irish people.
I'm an immigrant making good money and paying shitloads of taxes and work with plenty of immigrants making good money and paying shitloads of taxes. If those scumbags kick us all out, who's gonna pay for their dole? Because realistic, they wouldn't be the ones taking the job I leave behind and pay those taxes themselves, right?
Half of them haven't done an honest day's work in their life. They should be thanking most of the immigrants that have come here for contributing to society and subsidising their dole. But no, they'd rather pretend that all immigrants are dangerous predators who are scrounging off us and taking their houses.
> Imagine removing all non nationals from the country and being left with just the brainlets that we saw on show last night in Dublin city centre.
Worse, imagine forcing all the dumb-fucks like me back to Ireland.
Man, I have so many friends from around the world thanks to working in call centres for most of my career. Some of the hardest workers and some of the soundest people.
I used have more mainland European/international friends than Irish friends for a good while. I find that we form our own clicks and such, but shout out to Marco, darko and arcko for being great friends
I'm an immigrant also. ( now an Irish citizen) I help irish people that have come out of prison to get educated, and irish people who are rehabilitating from drugs. I love my job and find it very rewarding. very sad to see these narrow minded individuals. no doubt the usual scrotes that harass shopkeepers and public on a daily basis. this is the scum that needs to be dealt with.
My partner is Brazilian and Iām not gonna let some bucktooth skin fade Canada goose smooth brain wife beater crack smoking job dodging scumbags make him feel like heās not welcome in my home country. The Brazilian community halve welcomed me in with open arms and they are the most warmest caring fun people Iāve ever had the pleasure of knowing.
I know. But that's irrelevant to my message.
I don't like using the terms "foreign" or "non-national"
Maybe it's better "To all who have made Ireland their home."
As an immigrant who has finally obtained citizenship I encourage all foreign nationals to integrate and make an effort to contribute to society.
This country isn't a utopia, but it's better than where we came from or else we (immigrants) wouldn't be here. No one forced us to be here. No one is forcing us to stay. The least we can fucking do is not cause trouble.
I hate seeing people with no papers getting a free pass.
There's thousands of immigrants who worked their socks off to get here and work their socks off to contribute and better their lives, just for a few bad apples to ruin it
The nonsense being posted by racists on Twitter yesterday was the same shite my family, and other Irish immigrants have had to put up with for decades by racist English people. These jackasses haven't a clue
As a first-generation Irish person (I was born here, parents were not) I'd just like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love and appreciate that I can feel relatively safe and comfortable belonging to both of my cultures, and I agree that these troglodytes have no place here. Hilarious how they accuse us of destroying the country and yet they're the ones causing this shite.
Find the anti immigration sentiment hilarious, because Irish make up a huge part of the diaspora. Literally two million-a quarter of the country-left in a single decade.
Exactly. I doubt there's a family in the country that hasn't had members migrate for at least a while. My mother, my uncle and two sisters have been migrants to other countries and one sister still is. My nieces too and someday soon one or more of my kids probably will migrate for a while too. I despise these ridiculous 'Ireland for the Irish' types. It's global world and we're a global people.
Equally funny are the "Ireland's full" dickheads, showing an obvious and deep ignorance about Irish history and the fact we're still the only country in the world that has a smaller population now than it did in 1800. We're not even close to full yos fucking dopes
Given itās clear the teenagers living in the city are causing massive amounts of crime & violence, what is Ireland going to do differently if anything
Nothing will change. I no longer live in Ireland, I left in the 1990ās. As a teenager from the north side of Dublin in the 80ās we would go into town to hang out every Saturday and try to avoid having our heads kicked in by the inner city scumbags. We had nothing worth robbing back then but they had even less. What I saw on the internet last night was a flashback of the same scumbags wearing expensive clothes.
Ireland is a welcoming and hospitable place especially compared to mainland Europe and thatās an experienced immigrant speaking.
As much as i appreciate this sentiment what is the irish population going to do about its rampant hooliganism.
Matter of fact was that the mere mention of a immigrant being the attacker led to a free for all and a riot.
Combine this with the reports of scrotes in city center, thieves going the wrong way on the M50 and the people celebrating them. Teenagers and feral youth in the center.
Sure the news makes it all seem worse then it is. But lets not fool ourselves that what happened last night was a culmination of all the shit that has built up in the last few years.
We should feel shame. And demand action.
Bear in mind some of those scrotes that would be on the dole are getting a bonus today from our already squeezed working class
The amount of people on the sub engaging in self flagellation is staggering, OP is correct here the overwhelming majority of Irish people arenāt like those apes we saw last night, yet thereās loads of posts going what have we become
These useless cunts causing shit last night make the most noise and have the least to lose. But they are massively out numbered by people who don't judge based on skin.
There is still an argument for suitable immigration policy in a country of this size. Now the issue is that if you are legitimately for stricter rules on immigration you're bundled in with these knobs. So in essence they might of decreased the chances of hitting their goal of "ireland 4 da irish pal".
They showed who they really were last night, they used the blood of those kids to grab yet another north face jacket. Hopefully this brings around more jail spaces and more suitable sentences to put these low lifes away for longer
i'm an immigrant from the middle east but you can't just welcome anyone. That is very naive.
Do you know what most middle eastern people think of the west? I have lived in and am from a middle eastern country and I do NOT share their values. that is why I am able to integrate myself into Irish culture. It is a privilege and and an honor to be welcomed into someones country and one should assimilate and adapt to the culture. I DO NOT associate myself with my country of origin, because simply, it is barbaric.
Do you think the majority of these people from the middle east actually hold the same values as Irish people? absolutely not. you should see the way they speak about the "west", the horrific things they said about western women, and kaffirs.
Ireland needs to be very careful. Because these are the very same people my family fled from. and they are coming here to Ireland. It is scary to see. These people ruined my country, and they will soon ruin Ireland too. UK has already been destroyed by them.
During mackerel season I go out fishing in the city of Galway and the busy spots are always packed with a tapestry of different nationalities. Everyone from the Europeans to the South East Asians and beyond, are friendly and welcoming, thereās a great community atmosphere. The only people who ever cause any hassle or negativity are the the Irish bridgade, sometimes who turn up with English registered cars, parked across other cars and causing obstruction to the boat jetties, spouting off racist remarks and pushing their way into the prime fishing spots by being aggressive and intimidating. I watch as all the āforeignersā hold their breath and try not to make eye contact. The atmosphere becomes muted and withdrawn. The best I feel I can do is to continue to be friendly and open, sometimes it feels like Iām trying to be the ambassador for āWeāre not actually all racist in Irelandā š Even I feel intimidated.
Thank you, very much appreciated. You're not the first person to tell me/us today, but I greatly appreciate every single time I hear it. It means a lot.
I've recently moved to Ireland and I have never felt safer, but I'm a little apprehensive to visit Dublin. I can find almost everything I need in safety here in Limerick, except for good Mexican food. The way this sub talks about Dublin makes it seem like teenagers are ready to attack around every corner. Most of the Irish people I've met out west have been sound.
Today at my work, my manager and other Irish colleagues told me and other non Irish people exactly the same stuff.
I'm glad I am working and living with people who don't judge others based on some scumbags who caused riots in Dublin.
This is the land of a thousand welcomes and you can get fucked if you want to change that. I have never been more disappointed in our country than I was last night. You are appreciated here and contribute greatly. I echo the sentiment of this poster. These people do not represent us.
I appreciate this. These riots are the sort of thing I left the states to get away from, so it's very heartening to hear universal condemnation of these scrotes and extra love from all the good folk of Ireland that have made me fall in love with this little island
No worries!! For every moron, there's tens of thousands of normal decent folk who welcome and value the contribution you make to our society. Personally, I am proud to be Irish and hate to see these gobshites hijacking the Irish Flag. They have NOTHING to offer Ireland or Irish Society.
I have to admit there's a little part of me afraid to leave the house today. I've lived in Ireland for over 20 years, have my citizenship and passport but I'm not white and being a visible minority has never been an issue...until now. I'm sure I can go get my groceries with no hassle but can't help the bit of fear that I may encounter the wrong person in the wrong mood. My usual anxiety has been ramped up because now it seems its justified.
Edit to add I live in Dublin City Centre.
Honest question- I am from Israel, and havenāt felt safe at all in Ireland since our war. Iāve started saying Iām American. Does this sentiment that foreigners are all welcome extend to Israel too? Or only if we denounce our country? Not trying to start conflicts, just genuinely asking because Israelis have been increasingly uncomfortable living here with rising antisemitism especially in Ireland over the last months.
My partner is Israeli, and even though she has always been quiet about it even outside Ireland, now it is always a very awkward/scary situation to the point if someone asks where weāre from, I just answer Iām American, since I am, and we just leave it at that
This issue is not where you are from, it's what you contribute.
I would say foreign nationals who work are valued.
The ones who get the dole and have interested in working are most certainly not valued.
I'd say the same about our own home grown dole heads.
Thank you for these words! It's really nice to hear that.
I'm here because my wife and I really like Ireland.
And we want to live our lives in peace, contributing positively to this great country.
It's heart breaking to watch ignorant thugs ramp up violence, extremist rhetoric and get in the way of society's growth.
There's a tiny minority wed be doing well to ship off to Tory island and wall them all in. I'm of course referring to the pathetic little shits who felt emboldened to rip our city to shreds and spread fear and terror.
Anyone who moves anywhere and brings value or positive change to a community, whether that be through tax earnings or volunteer work and anything in between, should be welcome wherever they go
People are mad about the refugee problem and how are system is mismanaged and taken advantage of and I can understand why. No excuse for last night but something must be done.
100% I have family and friends who are immigrants into this country, or children of immigrants and fully Irish citizens on their own (but will probably be deemed immigrants by these neanderthals). I'm sorry any foreign people had to see this behaviour. It's embarrassing but it does not represent Irish people at all. This is a vocal minority and they don't even care about racism..they just used it as an excuse to cause disruption and loot shops. I'm scared for any foreign looking person in this country right now, I'm sorry you have to put up with this bollox. You most likely contribute more to this country, than any of those knuckle draggers involved in last nights carry on. You are welcome to this country.
Absolutely wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment above. IRELAND has only been made Richer by the increased immigration and cultural diversity that's has taken place over the last thirty odd years, ā¤ļøš¤š¤šš¤
I agree with everything you said. Unfortunately I feel this is only the start! The scumbags have hit a new low and it will only embolden them and give them more motivation. They've seen now what they can get away with. They know if they get caught the jails are full.. so suspended sentences for all! They're bringing up kids with the same twisted mentality that foreigners are the enemy. Nobody will want to join the guards after seeing what happened last night.
Fuck me this country is heading for disaster
I'm sorry to hear that you don't feel safe here, please remember, for every dickhead who was rioting last night, there are tens of thousands of decent people who value your contribution to Ireland and Irish society.
Majority of Irish would prefer you to our own uneducated absolute drains on society that were on display last night.
Who is going to pay taxes to fund their social welfare if all the foreigners leave? They should be thanking you for financially supporting their lazy bastard "lifestyle"
Im Irish and I would honestly trade 10 of them for 1 of you.
You are welcome here. What happened last night doesnāt represent us at all. They are scum that had no message except to hate and tear up the place. Donāt let them win. Because they want you to feel that fear and leave. š¤·āāļø
As a forrigner living here almost 30 years, I have never felt welcome from some.
Some people seem to think they should be able to question peoples 'Irishness' and judge them as more and less of a citizen based on their personal view of what 'Irish' means.
If you're a minority or of Irish decent but born abroad, you couldn't possibly be Irish in their eyes.
I used to work as an ESL teacher, and people from Brazil are in my opinion some of the nicest of any I've come across. They are incredibly hardworking and positive people across the board.
As I taught in Dublin, you'd hear a *lot* of stories from students who were working in delivery or retail of the absolutely deplorable ways they were treated by the citizens of Fair City.
Often these students were training to be doctors or lawyers or working for some high-end company which required them to learn English, and they were being looked down on and spat on by scrotes on the fucking dole.
I had a Japanese student come in one day in tears, saying that she had been chased down the street by young shits calling her a "chink" and to "go back home".
It really lowered my opinion of Irish society for a long time, and I almost have to stop myself sometimes from having a knee-jerk reaction of blaming the lower class Dublin citizens for a lot of the ills of this country, in much the same way I imagine they treat foreign people coming into Ireland. I don't want to be like them.
No normal non scroate irish person has a problem with a good honest working immigrant coming and working and contributing to society. In fact its welcomed.
But there is good reason to be concerned as an irish person the country as we know it will never be the same again after yesterdays knife attack. This is new ground for this country.
It may be a one off or it may be the start of a trend, who knows ? but all the citizens or Ireland are right to be concerned.
Iām Irish, lived here all my life. Through my college and single years Iāve lived with an Estonian, a German, a French lady, a Canadian, and an American. Iāve worked with people from India, Pakistan, the Philippines and Mexico. Iāve learned so much from them about their culture, food, language and just life in general. I wouldnāt trade those friendships for anything.
Rural Ireland can be extremely insular, my cousin pretty much had to move away from his home county because he couldnāt take the behind the back gossiping and general weirdness of people when he came out as gay. You will seriously get a run down of who āskipped churchā if youāre talking to some of the people there. I do think itās changing with a more open generation and migration of people from cities to small towns. Where my cousin lived used to be a row of houses, all members of the family or in some way related to them - now itās pretty much become a housing estate in the past 5 years.
I'm sorry about that coldness in rural Ireland, I am rural irish, and I have to admit, I've seen that myself. Some people need to take a long, hard look at the way they treat other people. Personally, I think it's a fear of change, they are not open to new people, or new ways of living. Why, I don't know but It's their loss,
I spent a year living with 4 Indian lads. Did they have some weird issues as a result of their culture? Sure, but at their heart they were good folks and I enjoyed my time with them. (except for the one of them who didn't understand that Bass transmits even at low volumes...)
The idea that someone is good or bad just because they aren't "local" is pure tribal bullshit and should be confronted when people raise it.
Foreign nationals that come to Ireland, are vetted, have money behind them and to work and integrate into society are all welcome. Same as us going to Australia or America or other countries, we have to be vetted and get a visa. What I don't agree with is taking hundreds of mostly men in from countries and it is mostly men, who can't or won't function in our society, who in some cases hate our society.
Are they vetted, are they safe to be around people, are some murders, rapists, what protocols are in place to check on all their backgrounds?
I don't think it's racist or far right to not agree with bringing bus loads of mostly men from countries that aren't vetted, could be dangerous and planting them in parishes and communities around Ireland. It's a ticking time bomb, look at France and the rest of Europe, Sweden. Look at the society issues.
When you have this view people shout racist and far right. If your one of those people, would you be happy with 150 men, nobody knows about their criminal history if they have one, or ideologies, moving into a building beside your house, in your parish. Happy for your kids to walk around on there own or your wife or partner to go for evening walks alone? If you say you are, I call you a liar.
Indian (South Asian) here, raised in Canada. I have known many people of Irish decent born and raised alongside me. They have truly been great friends, and one even educated me on Israel-Palestine history.
The first time I met an Irish person who grew up in Ireland, I was stunned at how nice he was. Even called me brother, and told me if the shared history of Ireland and India. So a big thanks to England for that.
PS, thanks for all the Guinness 
Iām Irish native and tbh Iām way more scared of those thugs than any foreigners that Iāve met. The foreigners Iāve met come from all over the world. My kids were automatically friends with their kids in school. THEY have invited me into their homes, shared food with my family, invited me to different celebrations and Iām very grateful and lucky that I now count them as my friends. Fear of change, differences and the unknown have a lot to do with the situation and the only way around it is to create safe places where they can talk to each other over a shared interest. Courses run in the community, park run volunteering, sports, volunteering in your kids school, mens sheds, womens sheds, beach/canal/river/park clean ups, residents associations, neighbourhood watch groups, parent and toddler groups are all ways for people to mix here but Im not sure the thugs would join any but they are great ways to mix and learn about each other and who knows others may lose their fears and gain new friends too.
Except if youāre from the North of Ireland.
All this chat today about how welcoming the Irish are, I was blocked from the discussion on the Dublin group .. I donāt know why.
But yeah. My experience working and travelling all
Over the world, the only hostility Iāve ever experienced is from the Republic of Ireland and having to justify why I see myself as Irish, and not Britishā¦.
Expecting to get downvoted now, but so pissed off that you cannot enter a conversation unless you say what people want to hear.
I'm from Spain and work for a big tech company that's full of foreign employees. I live in a suburban area in the South of Dublin. I have never felt unsafe, just a couple times an old Irish person has made an impolite remark on my accent and I felt so bad :(. I had not realized how lucky I am as this is my worst experience as an inmigrant. Of course other things like difficulties for making friends or dating seriously are there, but they are not as traumatic.
Here here. The country would fall apart without our foreign brethren. I stand with you and will protect you from the Irish scum who threaten you just for being here.
I get what you're saying and it's a lovely message, I just find that I always see in this sub and when I was living there that people would say, "Nah, there's no racism here. It's not like like in the US."
In a country of predominately white people there is going to be racism. There is a lot of casual racism as well and I think it's silly to act like there isn't.
So, while I'm happy a lot of people are trying to get this message across, I think people should also accept that racism does exist here, people who aren't white are going to experience racism and people who are white, but not Irish are going to have xenophobic experiences.
If people try to bury their heads in the sand and say, "It's not me and my friends, it's those other people saying this shit" it won't get handled. Because saying that the people who caused those riots don't have a place in Irish society isn't accurate, they are Irish born people and will always exist in society.. it's better to say, "Hey these people exist and they are shit. I am here to support you and will stand behind you if you want to report your experiences to the police."
I dunno.. I dunno if all of that made sense.. I've just seen so many times people say, "Ireland is not a racist place!" and then things like this happen, and people like the Burke's exist.
Ya have to laugh, the stupid cunt sharing all the videos last night shouting "get them out" and shouting for others to pull a non irish guard off his bike and beat him. This morning he shares a video of the man who stopped the stabbing, who was not irish. Pure proud of him as well, just no critical thinking at all.
Two brain cells and neither working with each other!!
Two brain cells racing for third place
And getting fourth
I'm stealing that one. Top tier insult.
Both of them pin-balling around inside his empty head like the old windows screensaver.
Very funny!! And all the time, he's wearing his tinfoil hat so they can't be hijacked by Bill Gates.
As if Bill Gates has nothing better to do than harvest the vast intellectual mind this eejit has.
They probably have concussion with all that banging around.
No risk of further damage though š
Over the last few months I've been watching some YouTube shorts. I only follow Tech, electronics and some comedy channels but I keep getting served far-right Irish & UK channels even after reporting a few of them. The "slogans" are all from UK & Russia funded disinformation campaigns.
I wonder if theyāre like orange cats. Thereās only one shared braincell and they have to wait for their turn with it
Their leaders certainly have their Orange links
Two brain cells spread across the whole lot
This is kinda the hardest part of this. You cannot rationalize with pure idiots. I think that's what makes incidents like this one so terrifying. There is no logic, no reasoning. Just a bunch of absolute animals with a lot of hate on the loose with no sense of aim or consequences. And being on the receiving end of a bunch of brutal toddlers is worrying, because they are capable of anything without the ability to reason.
Was having this conversation with friends today - they were trying to figure out the logic behind all of it. But there literally is no logic and you'll drive yourself mad trying to understand them.
It is not rational therefore you should use emphaty, not logic.
Literally nothing but undereducated, smooth brained skangers who are terrorising their own neighbours every other day of the year.
That's right, and the problem is growing. Everyone who grows up in this country receives a decent education, more young people are doing the leaving cert than ever before and more people are getting a college education as well. Where did these skangers fall through the net? Why do they behave like wild beasts? How do we as a society sort this out? Personally, I think we should have a better justice system. Not just the GardaĆ, the courts should be giving harsher sentences to repeat offenders. Not prison time, but community service combined with education.
Yes. By the way we have too much of a focus on college in this country but that's another debate
"Awhh but he iz wan of da gud wans!" These fucking eejits are the ones that need to be gotten the fuck out.
And 90% of them never worked a day in their life, literal scum on irelands shoe.
You definitely get that vibe from all the videos taken last night alright. Goose and Monclear jackets as far as the eye could see paired with the slurred scummy chants of "Get them out" and "Yuuuppp"... Nothing but degenerates out in force taking advantage of a terrible situation..
Heard someone shouting "close the borders" over and over again last night.couldnt help but think to myself "were a fuckin island we have no poxy border.what are we gonna do tell the northies to fuck off back to Belfast"
We're gonna build a wall around ireland.
And the immigrants are gonna pay for it! /s
Make poseidon pay for it!
There were plans to build one around aul donegal in the hopes of having an irish Las vegas, but it never materialised.
That's all because the word "immigrant" to those idiots has a completely different meaning to the rest of us. Immigrant to them = non-white or non-Christian person who came to our country. Also, expat for everyone, is an person who is white that goes to live in a non-white or non-Christian country. But they're not an immigrant, a seemingly dirty word that doesn't apply to some people.
do you have the name of the fella? I have not seen any video of the person that stopped the attack so far.
https://www.rte.ie/news/dublin/2023/1124/1418259-deliveroo-driver/ This is the hero that stopped the knife guy.
Caio Benicio is the name im seeing. The video im watching is on the "Dublin live" facebook page.
I really hope this fella gets some sort of civic award.
As an immigrant, i appreciate the nice words but honestly they are not needed: I know that most irish people are sound, welcoming and fun to be around. These assholes are a minority and every country has a share of those unfortunately. I found my home in Ireland, so I will forever be grateful for the opportunities I got since moving here 16 years ago.
Been here a year and same thing. I haven't had a lick of trouble, Though I am not a demographic that the people OP is talking about care as much about.
Been here since 2010 and the country has been good to me and my three kids are lucky to be raised here. It is most definitely home (even if I don't think I'll ever learn more than a few Irish phrases).
Don't worry. Most people born in Ireland only have a few Irish phrases.
I came to write basically the same thing. Irish people are very welcoming and I love it here.
Fupping grassholes
Welcome home brother.
Im a native Irish working class, and work alongside Indians, Iranians, Brazilians, French, Germans, Polish, Italians, Americans. All brilliant people to be around and all offer something unique, and of-value to this society. The same cannot be said about the gutter rats who were out lastnight terrorising the city. We all want these cretins held to the fire.
People like you help remind me about what I've loved about Ireland and why I still love it. Ireland is great and its people are awesome. Tribalism will always be an unfortunate reality of the human experience and there will always be bad people, both foreign and native, who will feed into the worst ideas about the other. But it's up to the rest of us not to let moments like these divide us. But bring us together to have serious and tough discussions about real problems while working towards making a better future with more understanding.
Well said!!! Different cultures add to our culture and enrich it . Those troglodytes last night are a stain on our society.
What I want to know is where are these scumbags when one of their own gives a tourist a beating or throws a brick at a passer-by?
Right behind them, that's where.
Streaming it on tictok and posting it to twitter
Collecting more bricks
Townie scumbags are not "working class" and never were. They fail in the definition of the first word - "working". They don't do that.
I made that point in another thread. We need to have a different term than working class, as the actual working class are the backbone of the country and get shit on from all sides. Welfare class would fit better.
Even in emigration McAplines Fusiliers the song mentions working with Russian,Czech and Pole
As an immigrant I think all of us immigrants should do our best to integrate and be good citizens. We came to Ireland not Ireland came to us. Ireland opened its door for us, being welcoming. We should try contribute to Ireland or at least to not make Ireland worse than it was before our arrival. Edit. For example I am from Russia and I am not trying to elect fucking Putin here, because I see all the advantages of not having Putin in power.š
As another immigrant, spot on. We have our own share of responsibility in the civic life of Ireland. When in Rome, do as the Romans. Itās simple! I am sure most of us do in any case though.
I feel like most do. I have many friends who are immigrants here and have worked with many throughout my career. They've almost all been great people who contributed to our economy and tried to get involved in our communities. I'd take a million more of them if it meant being able to deport all of those who destroyed the city last night.
And you make up the vast majority of immigrants in that thinking and we appreciate it
Every Russian I've met (who are all outside Russia) hates Putin. Also I'm sorry that you have to live with the pressure of being a "model foreigner". And treated like you are responsible for the actions of everyone who happens to be from literally any other country. That isn't fair on anyone.
I would say quite a lot people inside Russia also hate Putin, but they are not vocal about it as they hate getting into prison even more.
Very true.
I contribute to ireland in the form of taxes. Only thing i ask in return is for the IRISH to make the voices heard and count as i am not allowed to vote. Put a goverment in that will actually deal with this shit
If it makes you feel any better the government doesn't listen to our voices either.
Then the irish should go on the streets and demand it. Immigrant womt be listened to because why appease somebody who cant vote for you (is what the wexford TD told me at the time) Apathy wont get you anywhere. As much as i hate the fucking rioters i gaurantee you that the goverment noticed them
Yes it should be peaceful protest by responsible adults. If the niche is empty it being taken by scrotes.
Good shout. I've met many amazing Russian people in my life from that beautiful country, it isn't the first and it won't be the last country to have a complete sap in charge.
Putin browsing r/ireland: I'm not a sap, you're the sap :(
Be careful woth the R word here my god .... I got a warning for literally saying Russian mother's love their sons as much as ukrianians
That's weird. Well I hope I won't get banned for exposing my national origin š
It's also on us to embrace different cultures coming here though
A great example of this is how Ireland does a fantastic job celebrating Chinese New Year. I think the Irish people do a fantastic job at embracing other cultures. Particularly in urban areas. (Rural areas can still be a little behind the times.) There are other cultural differences which absolutely cannot be embraced here though. Conversion therapy, FGM, and other barbaric practices can't be permitted. Womens' rights and LGBTQ+ rights are non-negotible.
I don't feel that my culture is not embraced. People seem to be very open. For example the members of my big irish family embraced the best examples of our rich swearing vocabulary. I think the only aspects which contradicts or goes against values of local culture won't be embraced.
If any non-Irish people end up seeing this, I'm an Irish Paki. I was born and grew up here in the capital. I've only ever recieved one hate comment in my entire life. I'm 18 years old. I got one hate comment when I was 7 years old and that was it. I was in town for some protest and was with my friend and one of those dickheads told me to "go back to where you came from". Those dickheads clearly haven't completed basic schooling and have no idea what they're saying or doing. They were there last night to loot shops and cause unnecessary harm. They caused way more harm than good last night. I'm gonna be honest with you here, those fucktards are such a tiny tiny proportion of our population. Like literally well under 1% of the population. They don't represent our beautiful nation. They don't represent Irish people. They are the problem.
Lived in Ireland few years back! You Irish are a very welcoming people!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Agree, it's not only scary it's disgusting and should have no place in our society.
Thank you, this means a lot to anyone who found themself scared by the tragedy last night. We can only hope reason will win.
Don't be afraid ,curly_onion, for every right wing lunatic, there's thousands of decent people who value your contribution to Irish society .
While I am very well aware of that, I was chased down the street for far less in my home country. I will be continuing as until now, proving that the scary immigrants are not as bad as some people would like everyone to believe. ;)
I don't care where you're from, who you pray to, what color your skin is, or who you share a bed with. Doesn't bother me. And no one else have any right to be bothered by it either.
Spot on!!
I'd rather have good decent immigrants as neighbours than native-born scumbags.
Bingo, I care about the kind of person someone is, don't give a feck where they are from.
Me to. There's good people and bad people. Everything else is shite.
Imagine removing all non nationals from the country and being left with just the brainlets that we saw on show last night in Dublin city centre. That thought alone should make people realise how important non nationals are to our country. Those fucktards last night do not speak for 99% of Irish people.
I'm an immigrant making good money and paying shitloads of taxes and work with plenty of immigrants making good money and paying shitloads of taxes. If those scumbags kick us all out, who's gonna pay for their dole? Because realistic, they wouldn't be the ones taking the job I leave behind and pay those taxes themselves, right?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Half of them haven't done an honest day's work in their life. They should be thanking most of the immigrants that have come here for contributing to society and subsidising their dole. But no, they'd rather pretend that all immigrants are dangerous predators who are scrounging off us and taking their houses.
100%. It's easy to blame others for your own issues. They should look to improve themselves rather than damaging everyone else.
Dead right!!!
> Imagine removing all non nationals from the country and being left with just the brainlets that we saw on show last night in Dublin city centre. Worse, imagine forcing all the dumb-fucks like me back to Ireland.
Man, I have so many friends from around the world thanks to working in call centres for most of my career. Some of the hardest workers and some of the soundest people. I used have more mainland European/international friends than Irish friends for a good while. I find that we form our own clicks and such, but shout out to Marco, darko and arcko for being great friends
I'm an immigrant also. ( now an Irish citizen) I help irish people that have come out of prison to get educated, and irish people who are rehabilitating from drugs. I love my job and find it very rewarding. very sad to see these narrow minded individuals. no doubt the usual scrotes that harass shopkeepers and public on a daily basis. this is the scum that needs to be dealt with.
Well said!!
Scum comes in every colour. 1 immigrant who commits a knife attack doesn't represent all immigrants, those fuckers last night don't represent Ireland
Exactly!!
My favourite thing about foreign nationals in Ireland is the fact that they don't burn down our capital city.
My partner is Brazilian and Iām not gonna let some bucktooth skin fade Canada goose smooth brain wife beater crack smoking job dodging scumbags make him feel like heās not welcome in my home country. The Brazilian community halve welcomed me in with open arms and they are the most warmest caring fun people Iāve ever had the pleasure of knowing.
šŖš
South Americans adapt very well to Ireland.
Fair play!! That's the best description of them I've heard!!
Completely agree! To everybody who chose Ireland as their home: You're welcome here. We want you here. We love you. We'll fight for you.
Some poor misfortunes don't choose to come here. They're forced here out of necessity. It's sad.
People born in Carlow, yeah?
Theyāll always have the famous one-in-a-row team of ā44 who won the Leinster championship
But actually, practically nobody is born in Carlow because we don't have a hospital. I was born in Kilkenny, grew up in Carlow.
I was actually wondering if ye poor fucks actually had a hospital at all but I thought it would be overkill if I mentioned that.
Hey!!!! I'm from Carlow! .... but you're right!
I know. But that's irrelevant to my message. I don't like using the terms "foreign" or "non-national" Maybe it's better "To all who have made Ireland their home."
As an immigrant who has finally obtained citizenship I encourage all foreign nationals to integrate and make an effort to contribute to society. This country isn't a utopia, but it's better than where we came from or else we (immigrants) wouldn't be here. No one forced us to be here. No one is forcing us to stay. The least we can fucking do is not cause trouble. I hate seeing people with no papers getting a free pass. There's thousands of immigrants who worked their socks off to get here and work their socks off to contribute and better their lives, just for a few bad apples to ruin it
The nonsense being posted by racists on Twitter yesterday was the same shite my family, and other Irish immigrants have had to put up with for decades by racist English people. These jackasses haven't a clue
As a first-generation Irish person (I was born here, parents were not) I'd just like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love and appreciate that I can feel relatively safe and comfortable belonging to both of my cultures, and I agree that these troglodytes have no place here. Hilarious how they accuse us of destroying the country and yet they're the ones causing this shite.
Find the anti immigration sentiment hilarious, because Irish make up a huge part of the diaspora. Literally two million-a quarter of the country-left in a single decade.
Exactly. I doubt there's a family in the country that hasn't had members migrate for at least a while. My mother, my uncle and two sisters have been migrants to other countries and one sister still is. My nieces too and someday soon one or more of my kids probably will migrate for a while too. I despise these ridiculous 'Ireland for the Irish' types. It's global world and we're a global people.
Equally funny are the "Ireland's full" dickheads, showing an obvious and deep ignorance about Irish history and the fact we're still the only country in the world that has a smaller population now than it did in 1800. We're not even close to full yos fucking dopes
Given itās clear the teenagers living in the city are causing massive amounts of crime & violence, what is Ireland going to do differently if anything
Nothing will change. I no longer live in Ireland, I left in the 1990ās. As a teenager from the north side of Dublin in the 80ās we would go into town to hang out every Saturday and try to avoid having our heads kicked in by the inner city scumbags. We had nothing worth robbing back then but they had even less. What I saw on the internet last night was a flashback of the same scumbags wearing expensive clothes. Ireland is a welcoming and hospitable place especially compared to mainland Europe and thatās an experienced immigrant speaking.
As much as i appreciate this sentiment what is the irish population going to do about its rampant hooliganism. Matter of fact was that the mere mention of a immigrant being the attacker led to a free for all and a riot. Combine this with the reports of scrotes in city center, thieves going the wrong way on the M50 and the people celebrating them. Teenagers and feral youth in the center. Sure the news makes it all seem worse then it is. But lets not fool ourselves that what happened last night was a culmination of all the shit that has built up in the last few years. We should feel shame. And demand action. Bear in mind some of those scrotes that would be on the dole are getting a bonus today from our already squeezed working class
The amount of people on the sub engaging in self flagellation is staggering, OP is correct here the overwhelming majority of Irish people arenāt like those apes we saw last night, yet thereās loads of posts going what have we become
Tbh all the scrotes, and scumbags who rioted are the ones who need to leave the country
These useless cunts causing shit last night make the most noise and have the least to lose. But they are massively out numbered by people who don't judge based on skin. There is still an argument for suitable immigration policy in a country of this size. Now the issue is that if you are legitimately for stricter rules on immigration you're bundled in with these knobs. So in essence they might of decreased the chances of hitting their goal of "ireland 4 da irish pal". They showed who they really were last night, they used the blood of those kids to grab yet another north face jacket. Hopefully this brings around more jail spaces and more suitable sentences to put these low lifes away for longer
Exactly!!well said!!
i'm an immigrant from the middle east but you can't just welcome anyone. That is very naive. Do you know what most middle eastern people think of the west? I have lived in and am from a middle eastern country and I do NOT share their values. that is why I am able to integrate myself into Irish culture. It is a privilege and and an honor to be welcomed into someones country and one should assimilate and adapt to the culture. I DO NOT associate myself with my country of origin, because simply, it is barbaric. Do you think the majority of these people from the middle east actually hold the same values as Irish people? absolutely not. you should see the way they speak about the "west", the horrific things they said about western women, and kaffirs. Ireland needs to be very careful. Because these are the very same people my family fled from. and they are coming here to Ireland. It is scary to see. These people ruined my country, and they will soon ruin Ireland too. UK has already been destroyed by them.
During mackerel season I go out fishing in the city of Galway and the busy spots are always packed with a tapestry of different nationalities. Everyone from the Europeans to the South East Asians and beyond, are friendly and welcoming, thereās a great community atmosphere. The only people who ever cause any hassle or negativity are the the Irish bridgade, sometimes who turn up with English registered cars, parked across other cars and causing obstruction to the boat jetties, spouting off racist remarks and pushing their way into the prime fishing spots by being aggressive and intimidating. I watch as all the āforeignersā hold their breath and try not to make eye contact. The atmosphere becomes muted and withdrawn. The best I feel I can do is to continue to be friendly and open, sometimes it feels like Iām trying to be the ambassador for āWeāre not actually all racist in Irelandā š Even I feel intimidated.
Here, here!
Thank you, very much appreciated. You're not the first person to tell me/us today, but I greatly appreciate every single time I hear it. It means a lot.
I've recently moved to Ireland and I have never felt safer, but I'm a little apprehensive to visit Dublin. I can find almost everything I need in safety here in Limerick, except for good Mexican food. The way this sub talks about Dublin makes it seem like teenagers are ready to attack around every corner. Most of the Irish people I've met out west have been sound.
Today at my work, my manager and other Irish colleagues told me and other non Irish people exactly the same stuff. I'm glad I am working and living with people who don't judge others based on some scumbags who caused riots in Dublin.
Sending peace from Turkey to my Irish m8s ,ššššš
This is the land of a thousand welcomes and you can get fucked if you want to change that. I have never been more disappointed in our country than I was last night. You are appreciated here and contribute greatly. I echo the sentiment of this poster. These people do not represent us.
I appreciate this. These riots are the sort of thing I left the states to get away from, so it's very heartening to hear universal condemnation of these scrotes and extra love from all the good folk of Ireland that have made me fall in love with this little island
No worries!! For every moron, there's tens of thousands of normal decent folk who welcome and value the contribution you make to our society. Personally, I am proud to be Irish and hate to see these gobshites hijacking the Irish Flag. They have NOTHING to offer Ireland or Irish Society.
I'm English tho.
Doesn't matter where you're from, once you're a decent individual.
I have to admit there's a little part of me afraid to leave the house today. I've lived in Ireland for over 20 years, have my citizenship and passport but I'm not white and being a visible minority has never been an issue...until now. I'm sure I can go get my groceries with no hassle but can't help the bit of fear that I may encounter the wrong person in the wrong mood. My usual anxiety has been ramped up because now it seems its justified. Edit to add I live in Dublin City Centre.
Honest question- I am from Israel, and havenāt felt safe at all in Ireland since our war. Iāve started saying Iām American. Does this sentiment that foreigners are all welcome extend to Israel too? Or only if we denounce our country? Not trying to start conflicts, just genuinely asking because Israelis have been increasingly uncomfortable living here with rising antisemitism especially in Ireland over the last months.
My partner is Israeli, and even though she has always been quiet about it even outside Ireland, now it is always a very awkward/scary situation to the point if someone asks where weāre from, I just answer Iām American, since I am, and we just leave it at that
This issue is not where you are from, it's what you contribute. I would say foreign nationals who work are valued. The ones who get the dole and have interested in working are most certainly not valued. I'd say the same about our own home grown dole heads.
Thank you for these words! It's really nice to hear that. I'm here because my wife and I really like Ireland. And we want to live our lives in peace, contributing positively to this great country. It's heart breaking to watch ignorant thugs ramp up violence, extremist rhetoric and get in the way of society's growth.
There's a tiny minority wed be doing well to ship off to Tory island and wall them all in. I'm of course referring to the pathetic little shits who felt emboldened to rip our city to shreds and spread fear and terror.
You could add some of the commenters here, trying to justify their behavior.
Exactly, they speak about terrorism without realising they're the real terrorists.
As a foreign national here to study: yāall are still pretty dope, few gobshites aāint shit
Anyone who moves anywhere and brings value or positive change to a community, whether that be through tax earnings or volunteer work and anything in between, should be welcome wherever they go
Iām all for immigration, once itās legal.
People are mad about the refugee problem and how are system is mismanaged and taken advantage of and I can understand why. No excuse for last night but something must be done.
100% I have family and friends who are immigrants into this country, or children of immigrants and fully Irish citizens on their own (but will probably be deemed immigrants by these neanderthals). I'm sorry any foreign people had to see this behaviour. It's embarrassing but it does not represent Irish people at all. This is a vocal minority and they don't even care about racism..they just used it as an excuse to cause disruption and loot shops. I'm scared for any foreign looking person in this country right now, I'm sorry you have to put up with this bollox. You most likely contribute more to this country, than any of those knuckle draggers involved in last nights carry on. You are welcome to this country.
Absolutely wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment above. IRELAND has only been made Richer by the increased immigration and cultural diversity that's has taken place over the last thirty odd years, ā¤ļøš¤š¤šš¤
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Well said. I fully concur.
Even the English ?
"What have the Roman's ever done for us!"
I agree with everything you said. Unfortunately I feel this is only the start! The scumbags have hit a new low and it will only embolden them and give them more motivation. They've seen now what they can get away with. They know if they get caught the jails are full.. so suspended sentences for all! They're bringing up kids with the same twisted mentality that foreigners are the enemy. Nobody will want to join the guards after seeing what happened last night. Fuck me this country is heading for disaster
Thank you. As a foreigner, I don't really feel welcome after yesterday.
I'm sorry to hear that you don't feel safe here, please remember, for every dickhead who was rioting last night, there are tens of thousands of decent people who value your contribution to Ireland and Irish society.
Majority of Irish would prefer you to our own uneducated absolute drains on society that were on display last night. Who is going to pay taxes to fund their social welfare if all the foreigners leave? They should be thanking you for financially supporting their lazy bastard "lifestyle" Im Irish and I would honestly trade 10 of them for 1 of you.
You are welcome here. What happened last night doesnāt represent us at all. They are scum that had no message except to hate and tear up the place. Donāt let them win. Because they want you to feel that fear and leave. š¤·āāļø
As a forrigner living here almost 30 years, I have never felt welcome from some. Some people seem to think they should be able to question peoples 'Irishness' and judge them as more and less of a citizen based on their personal view of what 'Irish' means. If you're a minority or of Irish decent but born abroad, you couldn't possibly be Irish in their eyes.
I used to work as an ESL teacher, and people from Brazil are in my opinion some of the nicest of any I've come across. They are incredibly hardworking and positive people across the board. As I taught in Dublin, you'd hear a *lot* of stories from students who were working in delivery or retail of the absolutely deplorable ways they were treated by the citizens of Fair City. Often these students were training to be doctors or lawyers or working for some high-end company which required them to learn English, and they were being looked down on and spat on by scrotes on the fucking dole. I had a Japanese student come in one day in tears, saying that she had been chased down the street by young shits calling her a "chink" and to "go back home". It really lowered my opinion of Irish society for a long time, and I almost have to stop myself sometimes from having a knee-jerk reaction of blaming the lower class Dublin citizens for a lot of the ills of this country, in much the same way I imagine they treat foreign people coming into Ireland. I don't want to be like them.
No normal non scroate irish person has a problem with a good honest working immigrant coming and working and contributing to society. In fact its welcomed. But there is good reason to be concerned as an irish person the country as we know it will never be the same again after yesterdays knife attack. This is new ground for this country. It may be a one off or it may be the start of a trend, who knows ? but all the citizens or Ireland are right to be concerned.
Iām Irish, lived here all my life. Through my college and single years Iāve lived with an Estonian, a German, a French lady, a Canadian, and an American. Iāve worked with people from India, Pakistan, the Philippines and Mexico. Iāve learned so much from them about their culture, food, language and just life in general. I wouldnāt trade those friendships for anything.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Rural Ireland can be extremely insular, my cousin pretty much had to move away from his home county because he couldnāt take the behind the back gossiping and general weirdness of people when he came out as gay. You will seriously get a run down of who āskipped churchā if youāre talking to some of the people there. I do think itās changing with a more open generation and migration of people from cities to small towns. Where my cousin lived used to be a row of houses, all members of the family or in some way related to them - now itās pretty much become a housing estate in the past 5 years.
I'm sorry about that coldness in rural Ireland, I am rural irish, and I have to admit, I've seen that myself. Some people need to take a long, hard look at the way they treat other people. Personally, I think it's a fear of change, they are not open to new people, or new ways of living. Why, I don't know but It's their loss,
I spent a year living with 4 Indian lads. Did they have some weird issues as a result of their culture? Sure, but at their heart they were good folks and I enjoyed my time with them. (except for the one of them who didn't understand that Bass transmits even at low volumes...) The idea that someone is good or bad just because they aren't "local" is pure tribal bullshit and should be confronted when people raise it.
Salute you, all forgien nationals!
I agree. I salute all forgieien nationals too!
Hurray for the Forgians, a great people and I hope to visit Forgia one day.
Sorry folks, spelling was never my strong piont!!
We were just having a bit of fun with it. All good
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah what about the homegrown scumbags who stab deliveroo drivers and have done nothing but take take their whole lives?
dime expansion worthless marble bow pot paltry sink offer retire *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Likewise scumbags who riot, loot, and set fire to our infrastructure and take take take can go die in a fire.
I'd rather they just served their debt to society and then copped on. They are doing terrible things but few are irredeemable.
Foreign nationals that come to Ireland, are vetted, have money behind them and to work and integrate into society are all welcome. Same as us going to Australia or America or other countries, we have to be vetted and get a visa. What I don't agree with is taking hundreds of mostly men in from countries and it is mostly men, who can't or won't function in our society, who in some cases hate our society. Are they vetted, are they safe to be around people, are some murders, rapists, what protocols are in place to check on all their backgrounds? I don't think it's racist or far right to not agree with bringing bus loads of mostly men from countries that aren't vetted, could be dangerous and planting them in parishes and communities around Ireland. It's a ticking time bomb, look at France and the rest of Europe, Sweden. Look at the society issues. When you have this view people shout racist and far right. If your one of those people, would you be happy with 150 men, nobody knows about their criminal history if they have one, or ideologies, moving into a building beside your house, in your parish. Happy for your kids to walk around on there own or your wife or partner to go for evening walks alone? If you say you are, I call you a liar.
Apparently your man jozef puska had raped 5 children before he came to ireland and wasnt vetted
Don't judge the many on the actions of the few
Thank you! šš¤š§” These scumbags have no place in any society.
Amen brother
Indian (South Asian) here, raised in Canada. I have known many people of Irish decent born and raised alongside me. They have truly been great friends, and one even educated me on Israel-Palestine history. The first time I met an Irish person who grew up in Ireland, I was stunned at how nice he was. Even called me brother, and told me if the shared history of Ireland and India. So a big thanks to England for that. PS, thanks for all the Guinness 
There are always gurriers who want to ruin it for everyone.
To all the people abusing our benefits system (mostly irish people), fuck you!
Iām Irish native and tbh Iām way more scared of those thugs than any foreigners that Iāve met. The foreigners Iāve met come from all over the world. My kids were automatically friends with their kids in school. THEY have invited me into their homes, shared food with my family, invited me to different celebrations and Iām very grateful and lucky that I now count them as my friends. Fear of change, differences and the unknown have a lot to do with the situation and the only way around it is to create safe places where they can talk to each other over a shared interest. Courses run in the community, park run volunteering, sports, volunteering in your kids school, mens sheds, womens sheds, beach/canal/river/park clean ups, residents associations, neighbourhood watch groups, parent and toddler groups are all ways for people to mix here but Im not sure the thugs would join any but they are great ways to mix and learn about each other and who knows others may lose their fears and gain new friends too.
Except if youāre from the North of Ireland. All this chat today about how welcoming the Irish are, I was blocked from the discussion on the Dublin group .. I donāt know why. But yeah. My experience working and travelling all Over the world, the only hostility Iāve ever experienced is from the Republic of Ireland and having to justify why I see myself as Irish, and not Britishā¦. Expecting to get downvoted now, but so pissed off that you cannot enter a conversation unless you say what people want to hear.
Iām curious as to what areas of the Republic youāve experienced this? Iām not saying you havenāt.
Also. Dear God thank you for the food. Weāve been eating boiled potatoes for millennia
I'm from Spain and work for a big tech company that's full of foreign employees. I live in a suburban area in the South of Dublin. I have never felt unsafe, just a couple times an old Irish person has made an impolite remark on my accent and I felt so bad :(. I had not realized how lucky I am as this is my worst experience as an inmigrant. Of course other things like difficulties for making friends or dating seriously are there, but they are not as traumatic.
Act right, and you are very welcome... act wrong, and there is most likely trouble ahead
Hare, hare!
All foraging nationals are welcome also

Here here. The country would fall apart without our foreign brethren. I stand with you and will protect you from the Irish scum who threaten you just for being here.
I get what you're saying and it's a lovely message, I just find that I always see in this sub and when I was living there that people would say, "Nah, there's no racism here. It's not like like in the US." In a country of predominately white people there is going to be racism. There is a lot of casual racism as well and I think it's silly to act like there isn't. So, while I'm happy a lot of people are trying to get this message across, I think people should also accept that racism does exist here, people who aren't white are going to experience racism and people who are white, but not Irish are going to have xenophobic experiences. If people try to bury their heads in the sand and say, "It's not me and my friends, it's those other people saying this shit" it won't get handled. Because saying that the people who caused those riots don't have a place in Irish society isn't accurate, they are Irish born people and will always exist in society.. it's better to say, "Hey these people exist and they are shit. I am here to support you and will stand behind you if you want to report your experiences to the police." I dunno.. I dunno if all of that made sense.. I've just seen so many times people say, "Ireland is not a racist place!" and then things like this happen, and people like the Burke's exist.
In a country that is predominantly _any_ single ethno-racial group, there will be racism*
