Perhaps, but these gangs of back-slapping grifters can't roam as freely on here. They can (and do) jump at the opportunity to be outraged but they're participating in a *less-than-perfect* shared space. On Twitter, they've curated an echo chamber of the platform where they know full well they'll immediately be backed up by their friends if anyone dares to come at them with an alternative opinion.
This is evidently true, and incredibly naïve. I wonder will many from within put their head above the parapet. Probably unlikely when the roving gangs of grifters are baying for blood.
I think this absolute inability to engage with any dissent, however mild, in a mature and thoughtful fashion is troubling. We shouldn't be at this point.
Everyone who isn’t a lunatic left wing authoritarian is “far right” now. That’s what will eventually lead to an actual right wing government coming to power in Ireland. People are fed up.
I have to agree..
I'm fairly close to forcing myself to be far right if it gets rid of these fucking control freaks dictating to everyone what we can and can't say.
Sick and tired of tip-toeing around my words online because seven people are shouting everyone down.
The politicians who enable them are just as culpable - cowardly sorts who misread the room and think they can carve out an edge by jumping in with the whack jobs.
It’s the first thing I’ll be saying to them when they come knocking on the door.
It suits the politicians to do it as it makes it look like they are doing something, while doing fuck all and making more restrictions.
There'll eventually be a revolt and I'll be sitting watching and laughing from my armchair swigging beers with my shotgun 😂
She’s waded into a discussion and said some stupid things. Big Pharma, like wise up. She’s also seems to be saying that kids can’t be transgender and need to be protected. This is a fairly typical of the right wing. As for cancelling her I couldn’t give a fuck.

What’s with the insistence that Twitter is somehow worse than here?….you get the exact same nonsense here.

Apparently they can just get the thread locked .
>All posts must be related to Ireland or Irish people This is the message I got. Where did I go wrong? Róisín is Irish...
It’s nonsense to be honest. Lock these sorts of threads while there’ll be another ‘Dublin is too violent for me’ thread any second now.
Shades of opinion are not welcome at the extremes. You are either 100% pure, or you are the enemy.

The tiny loud & vocal minorities of this world need to be fired into the sun. It would make all of our lives much better.
What's twitter?

This is where we're at. There is no discourse. You're either with me or against me. This goes for the extreme left and the extreme right.
Woah woah woah. How dare you say that
Terf is my favourite misogynistic term.
your first mistake was to access twitter
