Wow, something based, and it actually came from a tiktok comment section for once #Ireland
A screenshot of a comment under a video on tiktok. It reads: "The Irish people have been fooled into thinking European whites just accepted us as their own in the 20th century when in fact we traded one form of oppression for another, not even different masters, they still own our land houses and places of work, our country is nothing but a tax haven for the American empire. The Irish people have never been anything more than a labor force for Anglo-American imperialists. Just look at Dublin, white Irish ppl want to claim Europeanness but our capital city doesn't even have a robust transport system, we're consistently living 2-3 decades behind the rest of the continent but sure black ppl and immigrants are the problem"

Evergreen slogan 🏳️‍⚧️🇮🇪
A mural on the side of a building somewhere in the north of Ireland, depicting a hand with a British-flag sleeve picking a bloody chunk out of an Irish-flag patterned Ireland. A hand with an Irish-flag sleeve is grabbing the British hand's wrist. The lettering above reads "ENGLAND GET OUT OF IRELAND!"

What's your sign
A sign from a zoo enclosure, in English and Chinese. The English text reads: "☆WARNING☆ A wild monkey appeared The wild monkey bites brutality. Don't feed him & Don't fight him. Even if you fight, you can't win."

Strange how the article blurred this racist scumbag's face 🤔

Would be an awful shame if someone found the video and posted screenshots so that people could identify him...

Yeah, The Journal are fairly solid. This one is from RTÉ, which is our national broadcaster. Not their biggest fan 100% of the time, but nothing too crazy here from what I can see.
An article from RTÉ News: "● Live > 'Important we stand united', says a defiant Trump Donald Trump survives attempt on his life at rally in Pennsylvania FBI names attacker as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks Gunman shot and killed by the Secret Service One spectator killed, two others critically injured President Joe Biden calls for end to political violence Taoiseach joins world leaders in condemning attack on Trump

From The Journal, here in Ireland:
Article from The Journal: "UNITED STATES Trump assassination attempt: Ex-President calls for Americans to 'unite' and not allow 'evil to win' The former US president was speaking at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania when the incident took place. • Thomas Matthew Crooks has been identified as 'the subject involved in the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump'. • Writing on his Truth Social platform, Trump confirmed he was 'shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear'. • The US Secret Service said one person in the crowd was killed and two people were critically injured after the gunman fired 'multiple shots'."

Me, bald and shiny. The text reads: "I have no desire to go on T. Male-pattern baldness runs in my family, and I don't want any more body hair, so it just wouldn't work for me. This is just my personal preference, and there are still non-binary people who do take HRT." Speech bubble: "I'm also comfortable with my name, and don't care what pronouns people use to refer to me!" Me facing the camera and gesturing. The text reads: "I realise that, for some people, this might be a bit confusing and hard to understand, and that's OK. All I, and other non-binary and trans people as for is respect. That's it!" Me, with my arms outstretched and smiling. A hand from the left and from the right are stretched over me and holding a heart in front of my chest with the non-binary colours on it, in the style of a claddagh ring. The text reads: "I love being non-binary, I love being trans, and I love this community."

A close-up of my eye, showing a reflection of a a graph. The text reads: "Every time I watched the news and saw that death count going up, I thought: 'Fuck it, I could die tomorrow. Why lie to myself anymore? Why lie to others?" Me splayed out. My clothes and style is fractured up into different styles and gender conventions. The text reads: "The best way that I could describe my gender identity is that, when it comes to gender, I feel like everything and nothing at the same time. There are days where I feel more feminine, and days where I feel more masculine. Most of the time I feel like nothing." A split panel - Left: me, naked and curvacious, lying down with my back to the camera; Right: me in my clothes, looking very upset, looking at my body. My curves are bulging out and my boobs are sagging down. The text reads: "I do consider myself transgender, because there are times where I definitely don't feel like a woman. There are days where I feel soft and feminine. And there are others where I can't stand the sight and feel of my chest and curves." Me, wearing a binder and looking annoyed. My chest isn't flat, and my boobs are bulging out of the top. The text reads: "I would love to have a smaller chest so that I could still have breasts, but could also wear a binder that actually works. If diet and exercise don't help reduce it in size, I will get chest reduction surgery someday."

Me, floating in space. The text reads: "Maybe some of this has something to do with the fact that I have autism. My attitude to most things in life has always been 'what you see is what you get,' and 'no nonsense'. And gender, to me, is just nonsense. Fun nonsense, but still nonsense." Me sitting on a couch, speaking to someone off-screen. Them: "ugh, I dunno what she is anymore, she's basically changing species at this point."; Me: "ha ha, so funny!" The text reads: "It took me a long time to process all of this - many years of denial, derision, and laughter at the expense of others who were braver than me. It's something I'm ashamed to admit now." Me facing the camera. The text reads: "To those people who I disrespected, I want you to know that I'm truly sorry. I just wasn't ready to understand it all. You will always have my utmost respect." Me sitting in bed in my pyjamas, playing the Nintendo Switch. The text reads: "When the pandemic began a few years ago, and I was stuck inside with not a lot to do, but face my own thoughts, I just couldn't ignore them anymore."

Pictures on my bedroom wall of Diamond Dogs-era David Bowie, Pink, Tilda Swinton, Lady Gaga in drag as Joey Calderone, Marc Bolan, and Dr. Frank-N-Furter. The text reads: "Most of the people and characters I looked up to and obsessed over were at least a little androgynous. Androgyny was cool to me. It still is." Teenage me, with stars in my eyes ("So cool!"), Cillian Murphy as Kitten in Breakfast on Pluto on my iPod behind me. The text reads: "I remember watching Breakfast on Pluto on my iPod over and over when I was fourteen, and relating so much to the character of Kitten, even though I knew I wasn't 'a girl trapped in a boy's body'." A book on a desk, showing Rita Hayworth as Gilda and John Wayne on the left page, and the title "THE MALE GAZE" on the right page. There's also a pen, and a notebook offscreen. The text reads: "When I got a bit older and went to college, I started to learn more about gender in a scholarly sense, particularly through film studies and theory - it became clear to me that many of the things that are deemed 'masculine' or 'feminine' in our society are completely arbitrary, reinforced as social constructs through tropes and fantasies." College-age me, thinking hard ("Much to think about..."). The speech bubbles show an indigenous two-spirit, a hijra, the trans flag, and the intersex flag. The text reads: "I learned even more as my studies continued. That the gender binary was neither natural nor universal, that it wasn't present forever and in every part of the world, that it was used by western colonisers as a tool to persecute the colonised (hard to ignore as an Irish person). That the binary ignores the existence of intersex people, that the existence of transgender people challenges this binary... and so on."

Teenage me, wearing a Green Day t shirt, converse and skinny jeans. The skinny jeans have rips up the seams. The text reads: "I was constantly growing, and my clothes never fit me right." Teenage me in secondary school. A girl is lifting my skirt up and exposing my hairy, muscular legs ("Áine has man legs!"), and a second girl in the foreground is pointing. The text reads: "The other kids noticed I was different, and not in a very nice way." Two split panels: Left - teenage me with straight hair, in a full face of makeup, a polka dot dress, tight, and earrings; Right - teenage me with wavy hair, no makeup, no earrings, in a black t shirt and jeans. The text reads: "The scrutiny others put my body under made me question the clothes I put on it. I would wear a costume and reivent myself every day." Teenage me, naked, staring at myself in the mirror. The text reads: "When I came home and took my clothes off, the costume would come off, and I was myself again."

Me and a boy in Irish secondary school uniform, running in the corridor. Me: "Race ya!" The text reads: "It's just that I did feel this way about these gendered things..." A close-up of my shoulder, and someone grabbing me by my jumper. The text reads: "And then the adults noticed, and they weren't happy." Me, scowling, while a teacher shakes their finger at me: "Áine, running isn't ladylike." The text reads: "It made me more aware of how arbitrary a lot of this stuff was, and made me question it." Me as a young child in primary school, sitting in a chair that is clearly too small for me. The text reads: "Then, when it came to my body, I never felt feminine enough. I was always bigger and bulkier than other girls."

Two split panels - panel 1 shows me as a small child in my school uniform about to run: "I'm a tomboy!"; panel 2 shows an adult hand grabbing my shoulder: "No you're not." The text reads: "I enjoyed playing with boys and doing 'boy things'. The adults didn't enjoy it as much." A crude children's drawing of a princess and a mermaid, some crayons, a heart-shaped pendant, and a Barbie Rapunzel doll. The text reads: "On the other hand, there were a lot of 'girl' things that I did like. Whether I was pressured into liking these things or not, I don't know." Me as a young child wearing a vest with a pineapple on it, a long sparkly skirt, and wedge sandals, looking very uncomfortable: "I don't like this."; someone offscreen: "You're wearing it." The text reads: "But there were certainly a lot of 'girl things' I didn't like or understand." Me, facing the camera and gesturing. The text reads: "And it's not that liking or not liking these things was what made me non-binary. You can like Barbies and still be a boy, or like playing cops and robbers and still be a girl."

A megaphone, with a giant speech bubble coming out of it that says "I'M NON BINARY!!!" Me, facing the camera and gesturing. The text reads: "I don't feel like a man or a woman most of the time. ✨️ I'm just me. ✨️" A close-up of me looking up. The text reads: "I've felt like this for as long as I can remember. It wasn't until about four years ago that I started putting a name to it. Something just clicked and I stopped ignoring what I'd been repressing for my entire life." Me as a child, in my Irish primary school uniform: "I'm just a little kid!" The text reads: "When I was a very small child, decades before I had even heard the phrase 'non-binary,' I remember feeling this way. Half of the time I wasn't even aware I was 'a girl' until someone reminded me."

"Ireland for the Irish" ... unless you're gay or trans 🙄

"Unfortunately, Wicklow Pride has come to the decision to postpone our much-anticipated Rainbow Disco. This decision was not made lightly. Due to recent threats and actions, it has become clear that we must prioritise the safety and well-being of our community, especially our young members. We have faced threats of protests from some residents of Newtownmountkennedy, whilst enduring malicious accusations of being "pedophiles" and "groomers". These baseless attacks are deeply troubling. Just today, one of our committee members experienced a horrifying invasion of privacy when someone placed a vile note through their letterbox, branding them with that same disgusting accusation. These accusations underscore the very reason we need Pride. We stand against hate, bigotry, and ignorance. Our young people, who look to us for safety and acceptance, must be our priority. We cannot, in good conscience, hold this event under such hostile conditions. Their safety and mental well-being come first."
