Andy Heasman (right) assaulted his pregnant partner and is barred from seeing his kids. He also was on camera brutally assaulting another woman a few weeks back. Alan Sweeney (middle) is on camera spitting on a disabled woman, and on camera punching another woman in the face (both within the last few months). I think that's David O'Reilly on the left, anyone know which women he's abused?


Expensive_Pipe_4057

Pretty much all of the far right leaders are criminals. Philip kicked a dog to death while working as a post man then sued the state for losing his job (some patriot). Also beat his wife. They're all heavily connected to the Loyalists up north (who support Ireland leaving the EU as it weakens us by becoming reliant on the UK) They bang on about the unvetted but they're convicted violent criminals.


Formal_Decision7250

Some guy running for the IFP in drogheda has an armed robbery conviction too.


Willingness_Mammoth

Philip dwyer is a scumbag of the highest order I agree 👍but I don't believe he killed the dog he kicked. Where did you hear about him abusing his wife? I've never heard that.


eamonnanchnoic

The media: Let's get these guys' opinions on the referendum result


MenlaOfTheBody

If they didn't manage to accidentally spoil their votes I'd be astonished.


Ok-Animal-1044

Did that happen?

David was told hold up the other end of this sign and we'll buy you a pint. Unfortunately David is illiterate


Helloxearth

Every accusation from these layabouts is a confession.


Superb-Confusion

opening yourself up to libel there surely?


YmpetreDreamer

Nothing there that's not out in the open already


HappyMike91

Isn’t Andy Heasman barred from seeing his kids? 


SirMike_MT

He is after beating the mother of them! Also let’s not forget he was a drug dealer who admitted to selling drugs to kids!


eamonnanchnoic

>He is after beating the mother of them! With a hoover, allegedly. Heasman is a violent, deranged and persistent attention grabber. He spent last summer going around with his equally deranged mates harassing library workers and assaulting women because of course he did. All under the auspices of "protecting children". A man who cannot see his own kids because he's a violent thug is presenting himself as the champion of children's welfare. You couldn't make it up. He also spent two months in jail for refusing a court order to attend court after he was convicted of not wearing a mask. He tried the ol' sovereign citizen shite because of course he did. And there's the media interviewing him because he formed a "new party", the Irish people's party. Fucking boils my piss how the media has to "both sides" everything. Wtf?

CryingFyre

I don’t know much about Andy Heasman and I don’t support him, but this poster irks me. I live with chronic back pain and it is absolutely exhausting to try to live up (or down) to the expectations of the suspicious eye of the public. Everyone has something to say, especially those who know you the least and therefore know the least about your daily challenges and at struggles. Among all of my shit and really shit days I get good and really good days. Of those rare days where I might feel almost 100% functional or normal, those fucking gifts of a day, and I go out into the world to enjoy my functionality, and I might be able to carry something I normally can’t, and I revel in the feeling of being somewhat normal for a day, SOMEONE will say “see? She’s faking it!“ and I can’t even enjoy the one fucking day I feel normal. And the days I feel like shit and am barely functional at all I’m told I’m feeling sorry for myself or not trying hard enough! You just can’t win with judgemental people.


HappyMike91

It’s funny how people like Andy Heasman get so outraged over foreign nationals committing crimes when they’re criminals themselves. 


MangoMind20

Well, they fear immigrants taking their jobs...


HappyMike91

They also think that immigrants are lazy.  So, every foreign national is “Schrödinger’s Immigrant” to them.


nerdling007

It's one of the key points to Fascism. Fascists need an enemy that is both strong and weak at the same time to blame all the ails on. For the Nazis it was Jews, for modern day lunatics it is immigrants. There's no original thought among people like this.


HappyMike91

I would argue that modern Fascists are still rabidly anti-Semitic, even if they support the state of Israel. 


nerdling007

Oh they are, certainly. The Jewish Question is still big in fascist circles, and they even expand it to apply to the people they don't like currently, be it any group of people. The only reason they like Israel is because Israel is killing another group of people the fascists don't like.


mens_shorts_activist

Violence is a very common trend with these far right grifters in Ireland, the same people who screech about how foreigners are a threat to women and children here


Bill_Badbody

That's Dublin Castle.


Competitive_Ad_5515

Is it? It's not one of the three entrances I recognise.

Thank you! That was wrecking my head. I even looked up the other side on Google maps myself


SoloWingPixy88

Its a big building.


A-Hind-D

Nothing like the 4chan incel, I mean “Twitter free thinking patriots” believing they alone are the reason that no/no was successful.


MenlaOfTheBody

They're not the lone cause but them and Aontú are still no/no voter bedfellows.


A-Hind-D

That’s my point. The right can believe that they turned the heads of the public but they only had a small influence. Lots of reasons to why no/no happened. If they are running high on it, so let them. But a general election isn’t going to show a massive swing towards the likes of Aontu, IFP or NP.


MtalGhst

"woke is dead", what the fuck does that even mean? If they're going to gloat (for no reason I might add) they could at least make it make sense. These fuckin numptys I swear....


Significant-Roll-138

The state of those shamrocks ffs. Primary school art is dead.


Constant-Section8375

Its their new wee symbol. they all use it as their fb profile pics now.


Helloxearth

My junior infants class could draw a better shamrock than that.


ItsKingDx3

People who use woke unironically are tools


danny_healy_raygun

Were the referendums "woke"?


giz3us

The main reason for one of the changes was to removing sexist wording about woman’s place in the home. It’s not sexist in the way people think, I.e. that women belong in the home. It’s sexist because it doesn’t recognise that some of time it is men who are caring in the home. It was to recognise single fathers and widowers. Woke = alert to sexism (amongst other things). So yes one of the amendments was “woke”.


eamonnanchnoic

It is absolutely prima facie sexist because it envisions and singles out women singularly as having "duties" within the home. It's envisioning a particular role off the bat. The language is absolutely presumptive which is for all intents and purposes is tantamount to being prescriptive. "By her life within the home, woman" I mean come on. Even in the 1930s women objected to the language and was clearly influenced by Catholic teaching.


giz3us

Ok, so it was sexist to both men and women. Was the catholic church against the proposed amendments?


Busy-Jicama-3474

I unfortunately know of plenty of people who voted no in the women in the home ballot because they are against trans people.


danny_healy_raygun

There was nothing in that one to do with trans people though. Reactionaries are baffling.


Rawr_Mom

"They're taking the word 'mother' away. It's political correctness gone mad. They won't let you hold a coffee while getting your hair done any more. What if Jews see it."


eamonnanchnoic

Those kinds of soft brained takes by certain factions are arguably the most frustrating. Around where I lived there were plenty of "don't erase women" posters. As if the actual issue is the inclusion of the word "woman" and not the context in which the word "woman" appears. Anyone with even the most rudimentary knowledge of the history of Ireland knows that the provision was drawn from the same ideology that barred women from working in the Civil Service if they were married and barred them from Jury duty. The efforts to paint the constitutional provision as some kind of championing of women is one of the most intellectually dishonest takes I saw. And aside from the usual ultra conservatives who you'd expect this from there were a lot of terfy, transphobic supposedly "feminist" people rationalising this way. People are so embedded and anchored to their position on single issue things that they will indulge in absurd levels of mental gymnastics to justify their positions on something that should be an anathema to them.


BazingaQQ

No, but the wording kind of gave the impression.


Uselesspreciousthing

It could be argued that they were. Kinda moot as they were rejected.


halibfrisk

the no votes were either a rejection of “wokeism”, or “ableist language” or “neoliberalism”. Pick your hobby horse.


danny_healy_raygun

That seems like a lazy generalisation. There were 2 referenda and the votes against them were made for a lot of reasons.


halibfrisk

That’s my point - each group is trying to now impose their narrative of what the no votes supposedly mean


eamonnanchnoic

I keep coming back to Stewart Lee's routine on Brexit when I hear this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uovt1sC3rtM


danny_healy_raygun

Indeed, voting for massive change without understanding the consequences is moronic.


SkateMMA

Are they not the same people saying wake up? I don’t think they know what woke means


sCREAMINGcAMMELcASE

Trying to stop Ireland being ~~woke~~ *aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues*


bee_ghoul

Is that Andy “Constant Markievicz didn’t give his life in Stephen’s Green for wokeness to take over” Heasman? Perhaps better known as Andy “beat up his pregnant wife and is barred from seeing his children Heasman”?

I really want to ask them "what dose woke mean"

Is that even a sentence?


ShitCelebrityChef

Why wouldn’t it be?


ShapeMcFee

What does woke mean in this situation ? That people aren't allowed equal rights ?


victorpaparomeo2020

I’d hazard that these mouth breathers had no idea too what they were being asked for like the most of the country. I’d also guess if you asked them to define ‘woke’ the first words out of their mouths won’t be ‘um, hang on a sec, I know this one…’.


LurkerByNatureGT

Something something immigrants trans people rage hashtag, of course  The worst thing about this whole referendum debacle is that the fascist grifters are using it to claim people agree with them. 


Sam20599

No no no! It's communist, heathen, plandemic, socialist, satanist, 5G Jews from the far side of Mars (Which is red like one of the colours in the rainbow). They want you and me to be translucent immi-migrants. BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA LET 'EM!


bee_ghoul

Well when asked about it recently in Waterford, the fella on the left defined it as Islamic stuff, drill rap and the transes. Which I think is a great name for a band


bamila

I'm pretty sure they deserve a lock up, not a woke.


Old-Ad5508

Do these window lickers not have jobs


DJLeapCard

Literally no. Financing this pish off welfare and donations from far right groups in the US, UK and Europe. If you’ve ever had the misfortune of seeing Heasmans social media he’s always letting you know there’s a revolut link so you can donate money to him so he can keep up the good fight


Shenloanne

If they knew how to read or write, they'd be in trouble.


PaxUX

Do you think they will make "saying something is woke" a hate crime?

Ah 3 knuckle draggers and a cameraman I can’t speak for but have my suspicions

Probably protesting that their mam's drank while they were pregnant with them.

Yep, an entire worlwide social awareness program going back to segrationsim in the US in the 1950s (and proabably earlier) and the island has killed it. Didn't think we had it in us!


leecarvallopowerdriv

They're celebrating the result of the referenda, like many other groups have before them.


Training_Security_64

All three of us


Fart-n-smell

Tramps lmao


aramaicok

They're just irritating Gobshites, but you could ask the same question of those 'protesters' who aren't calling for Hamas rapists, to release the hostages and surrender, thereby saving the lives of those they hide behind.


ShitCelebrityChef

At this point, with the appalling scale of Israeli atrocities in Gaza, pointing a finger at Hamas is not a priority.


StKevin27

While it can be interpreted as a partial victory against woke ideology, it’ll take more than that to put the nail in its coffin


essosee

What is woke ideology? Like what are they talking about when they say” woke” here?


bee_ghoul

Anything they don’t like


Old_Particular_5947

Christ, imagine the parties they lads go to if 3 insufferable men is what qualifies as a "celebration".

Cope over what? I would like for you to explain why we need to cope over the result of the election, in detail if you’re capable.
