So you say you want a revolution? Well, take a look at what’s happening in Ireland right now. Tens of thousands of farmers, truckers, and other fed-up “normies” are taking to the streets of Dublin to protest fuel taxes, mass immigration, and poverty-inducing “climate change” policies. For the most part, corporate news propagandists in both Europe and North America are intentionally ignoring the combustible situation. Just when I had begun to think that all the “fighting Irish” had moved to America, the Old Country has started to show signs of life. Perhaps there are still a few irascible pugilists willing to bash heads and take on the globalist empire after all.
Speaking of irascible pugilists, Irish slugger Conor McGregor issued a bit of an ultimatum to the ruling class after the government mobilized the military and sent tanks to intimidate the protesters: “One wrong move by government here, and you will see, at the very least, 250k Irish people descend on the capital in a blink. They must step down, there is no other way.” Declaring war against ordinary Irishmen isn’t a good look for an Irish Deep State that can’t be bothered to guard its borders from hordes of invading foreigners. While McGregor and his compatriots are out feeding protesters in the streets, the Irish government is hiking taxes on those who can least afford to pay them. “One wrong move” could spark a revolution.
Perhaps that’s why — after an initial show of force — Ireland’s globalist government appears to be trying to settle things down. Reports on the ground say that police officers have remained friendly with protesters. Some have suggested that Irish authorities are wary of following in the footsteps of Canada’s former prime minister, Justin Trudeau, when he exercised martial law powers

Maybe Saint Connor can drive the snakes into the sea.
Normies Unite!
Irish are very political minded. Just look at all the Iroish in political office here-both parties.
As a DNA cousin of Michael Collins my heart breaks for the way the Irish fought for 250 years to be free and be Catholic again only to throw that out the window in the past 100 years. I wish them luck and pray for them but they are in a deep hole of their own making.
I'm SO glad to see that word used instead of comrade.
The Irish have something they can unite behind and not be divided on religious grounds.
If it talks like a mooslim, looks like a mooslim, or smells like a mooslim, point ‘em to the exit (or the gallows and let them choose).
In every country it’s always been liberal vs. conservative. But today’s liberals are very different than the ones old. Today’s liberals believe in unrestricted immigration and “green” energy.
The former policy will kill a country slowly. The latter more quickly.
True in Ireland, and true everywhere else.

its still in ower blood, mates. same problems, different “Strangers”.
I was born in a Dublin street,
where the Royal drums did beat,
the loving English feet, they walked all over us,
and every single night,
when me da’ would come home tight,
he’d invite the neighbours out with this chorus:
Come out ye’ black and tans!
Come out and fight me like a man!
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders!
Tell her how the IRA,
made you run like hell away,
from the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandra!
England is lost, Ireland may be lost and the US is headed in the same direction unless people wake the hell up!
The English seem to be on the same path. Getting very fed up and about to boil over.
Closing the Straits of Hormuz is having all kinds of favorable consequences.....
Conor McGregor is a hero to the native Irish.
What has become of Ireland:
The natives are getting restless. Are all hopes of reform by ballot exhausted?
A few what?
Ireland is dead. England is buried. Europe is a desicated husk. America is mortally wounded. Ethnic Europeans will be less than 5% of the world’s population in a few years. Demographics will decide the future, not a few brave men. The time to save Western civilization is long past.
Looks like you’ll be sitting on your couch instead of joining the protest.
That spot on your couch - that is a useful spot.
Maybe Irish nationalists should consider monarchism instead of republicanism (European republicanism is traditionally atheistic and radical).
Professor David Betz who is an expert on civil wars has said he thinks Ireland the most likely place where one starts.
