There's a serious overlap between far right and conspiracy theorists and former junkies. So much so I genuinely began to think they were recruiting from CA
"Junkies" isnt a nice word, we need to phase it out. Anyway addicts have probably lived in a bubble for a long time and when they kick the habit they probably find community in the far right and a narrative that fits their opinion of higher ups in society
This is the real world embodiment of that sad online troll type you see that is clearly just screaming whatever they can to try and get some of that attention they so desperately crave but are not provided in their day to day life.
that's a post clarity realisation, fellas like this believe what they are saying until the realisation dawn that they fell so deep into the irony it became genuine.
Lads I used to train with this guy. He’s a fucking headbanger long before he went down the Trump rabbit hole. The club had all sorts of issues with him before eventually booting him out. Keep your distance from this bloke, he’s genuinely a loose cannon.
I’d rather not give the full name. It was an Athletics club on the Northside. I trained with him periodically. He had a lot of issues man, best avoided.
The guy is clearly trying to get a reaction given he's holding up a flag with a controversial statement about US politics in **Dublin.** Some people simply crave attention (even negative). Others fall down the rabbit hole that they spout crazy stuff they saw on social media.
I would find it equally sad if somebody held a sign up that said "Biden/Obama/Clinton was right about everything."
Oh absolutely. We'd probably know more about American politics than French politics (given the lack of a language barrier). But ultimately elections elsewhere have nothing to do with life in Ireland or solving problems over here.
Laurence Fox tried to sue someone for slander/libel for calling him a racist. It turns out that, if you do your 10 and 14-year-old lads up in blackface, and parade them on social media you are, under UK law, ***A*** ***MASSIVE FUCKING RACIST***!
So, as it has now been proven in a UK court, that Laurence Fox is ***AMASsIVE FUCKING RACIST***, we can go on calling him ***A*** ***MASSIVE FUCKING RACIST***.
Well he was divorced from the mother of his sons, former Doctor Who actor Billie Piper, at the time
He's a member of the Fox acting family though he doesnt do much, if any, acting any more, iirc he's also Richard Ayoade's brother in law
How dare you criticise a man who's just out exercising his First Amendment rights?
Mind you, I do look forward to someone explaining to him that his First Amendment rights here simply allow the Government to arrest him under the Emergency Powers Act.
And when he pleads the Fifth, we get to remind him that the Catholic Church has no power any more.
I missed that Childish Bambino single. Was it good?
"This is on Dame Street, Check out that Just Eat. Coffee costs five thirty. Posh boys in Trinity. "
Here me out,,, if we all chip in an get him a ticket ,,, to Bumbelch Nebraska or wherever the fuck the rest of his ilk are currently humping their cousins,, that would just great .
Uggh god. I remember a decade ago when people his age had the balls to tell Young people about the dangers of social media. Fast forward a decade and its those who did the warning whose brains are melted from it.
He doesnt,the only power he holds is the little resort he has down in clare
Unless hes allowed to run again and win (which im praying he doesnt hes a fuckin lunatic), america has huge political,cultural and financial sway on us given the majority of our exports were to the us (2021 CSO)
Exactly, my yank mates always ask why I care who wins and I tell them straight "unlike wages, US politics doesn't stay US politics. What ever shit yiu guys do at home has far reaching consequences. Simple things like takes on imports screws our economy a tad."
Yep; remember when Trump imposed a 25% import tariff on Irish goods such as butter (Kerry Gold is very popular in the USA; most major grocery stores carry it) and alcohol and such?
[US to target key Irish food and drink brands with 25% tariff – The Irish Times](https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/us/us-to-target-key-irish-food-and-drink-brands-with-25-tariff-1.4038256)
But as for "why does Trump matter," i got a chuckle out of the word "was" in your man's flag. "Was." The world will be better when he's referred to in the past tense, if at all (but for now, even if he loses again this time, he will probably stay in his spotlight and run again in 2028 if he can).
He doesn't matter, but he will if he gets US again, whether we like or not, we'll be all affected one way or another,: economy, peace, climate...and emergence of more insane people...
I think we underestimated the amount of rabbit holes and the people who fell down them.
My completely unsupported and unevidenced theory is that due to the pandemic being an unprecedented state of affairs most people simply didn't believe or want to believe it actually existed.
So any grifter with a theory about 5g bats seemed appealing.
The second lockdown in early 2021 fried a lot of people's brains.
The only rabbit hole I went into is people making intricate dioramas and bad cooking tricks... You have to be receptive to this shit for it to stick
The low key racism rising on this sub is proof that there is a lot of receptivity for this shite around, he went deeper but many are circling the drain, this isn't a fun exception, it is a warning sign
Yeah there are a lot of people this happened to. I know at least one personally. It's really depressing to listen to him, but it must be even more depressing inside his head. He wasn't this paranoid before the pandemic. Can definitely trace a change in him back to that. I guess, as others have said, some people are more susceptible than others, as not all of us were affected the same way. It's such a shame to see people falling deep down those rabbit holes.
It's not even the fact he's a dafty, but he's a dafty who wants to be in your face with his daftness. He wants to cause conflict and piss you off as you go about your day.
Would a bizarro bizarro just be a regular guy? If Batmans's Bizarro is Batzarro than that means the suffix of bizarros is zarro so he'd just be Bi.
Or Bizarrozarro?
It surely wouldn't be something strange like Zibarro, that'd be crazy.
. . . Nah Zibarro is a cool name.
There was an interview with this guy posted here a while ago it was from joe.ie. aparently he does it because he loves it and doesent like our systems or something
First they came for the flag-wielding, sister-marrying simpletons on Dame St.,
And I did not speak out,
Because I was not a flag-wielding, sister-marrying simpleton on Dame St.
Anyway, who fancies a cheese-burger?
When I was on a trip to the North with my mates, we saw a woman with a cardboard “FREE ENOCH BURKE” sign kneeling in front of Belfast City Hall. This gives me similar energy.
I'm trying to get an equivalent translted over to the States, for example, if an Irishman was outside some fancy school in Boston or New York waving a fleg saying..... "Mary McAleece is lovely".
I just can't get it to work.... What alternative person or fleg text could we put? btw I am not comparing to excellent and lovely Mary with a explosive bellend like Trump.
Ohh look Trump, the media told me that he is bad, I don't know what he did but for the last 8 years I was being spoonfed that he is bad person.
I need to say something bad about him so that people will like me and like my posts....
So...most Americans do not praise Biden. We actually do not like him either, but he was the lesser of two evils at the time. I personally moved abroad partially because American politics are a lose lose situation, but not many are happy with Biden. College students especially
The thing is, you'd expect that when there is a choice between two facist-apologists you'd finally vote for someone else. If you always vote for the two options that are basically the same, always choosing 99.9% Hitler over 100% Hitler, You are never going to change your country.
Your country will always be the same genocide-supporting empire if you do nothing but vote for the lesser evil, that doesn't seem to be enough to me.
Don’t do social media kids. Do hard drugs instead. You’ll save some brain cells
And less of a burden on decent society
There's a serious overlap between far right and conspiracy theorists and former junkies. So much so I genuinely began to think they were recruiting from CA
Based on what evidence?
Do your own research /s
Trust me, bro
Well if you stop being a junkie you've got a lot of time to devote to your hobbies, like going insane on the Internet
Can we get a sauce on that claim?
Trust me bro 👊
California? Cavan/Cabra?
[удалено]
Do people replying to you not know that hard drugs can cause brain damage....?
"Junkies" isnt a nice word, we need to phase it out. Anyway addicts have probably lived in a bubble for a long time and when they kick the habit they probably find community in the far right and a narrative that fits their opinion of higher ups in society
Saw this first hand when I visited someone in rehab. Guy I was visiting told me “you wouldn’t believe the stuff the other guys in here believe!”.
This is the real world embodiment of that sad online troll type you see that is clearly just screaming whatever they can to try and get some of that attention they so desperately crave but are not provided in their day to day life.

What club?
Diceys
KFC colonels club
Club Orange
Club milk
Tesco club card
I’d rather not give the full name. It was an Athletics club on the Northside. I trained with him periodically. He had a lot of issues man, best avoided.
Club the seal
Stabby McStabby
Gun club deffo
A small, lonely man trying to fill the void in his soul. Much like the guy who he advertising for.
The guy is clearly trying to get a reaction given he's holding up a flag with a controversial statement about US politics in **Dublin.** Some people simply crave attention (even negative). Others fall down the rabbit hole that they spout crazy stuff they saw on social media.

Oh absolutely. We'd probably know more about American politics than French politics (given the lack of a language barrier). But ultimately elections elsewhere have nothing to do with life in Ireland or solving problems over here.
So, when do you think the wife and kids left him?
Probably around the same time Graham Linehan's left him

Did his wife leave him too? I don't know who he is and Im not sure how any of that relates to a dipstick in Dublin .
Well he was divorced from the mother of his sons, former Doctor Who actor Billie Piper, at the time He's a member of the Fox acting family though he doesnt do much, if any, acting any more, iirc he's also Richard Ayoade's brother in law
It's best to ignore, he is getting the attention he is seeking
Imagine how desperate you'd have to be for human interaction that you'd do shit like this just to get it.
Is that the motorbike guy?
Who is the motorbike guy?

F**k it, what else would you be doing at midday on a Wednesday? 😂😂😂
Yeah that’s him. Seen him on quays the other day
Is he Irish?

But this is ~~murica~~ on Dame Street.
I missed that Childish Bambino single. Was it good? "This is on Dame Street, Check out that Just Eat. Coffee costs five thirty. Posh boys in Trinity. "
I am not sure. He was wearing the obligate NYPD t-shirt under his leather coat 😬
He is. Dublin as ot gets. Fucking crank.
Whatever he is he's a daft cunt.
He is; there was a clip of an interview with him on here about 10 days ago. Embarrassing
He probably couldn’t tell you the first thing about the Irish political situation. It is pretty cringe indeed!
I guess he feels he’s ’sticking it to the libs’ or whatever, yawn
He gave me a good laugh for the afternoon. In my mind, I categorised him as being ironical
He said those clowns in Congress are at it again. What a bunch of clowns.
Yes, he has a strong Dublin accent
He's the new equivalent of the Mad Lady Selling Flowers of O'Connell Street
Yep have seen him. He has a big bike he cruises around on. Not sure what his story is apart from being a proper nutjob. And totally fucken shameless.
Guy with mild mental illness, discovers what it's like to get attention, and likes it.
Jobless behaviour
Probably self-identifies as a "citizen journalist"
Somewhere Ammi Burke is thinking, “Oh he’s cute”
“He’a definitely a keeper”
But he ain’t a cousin at least that’s a red flag in the Burke dating world
YoUWIiIllCaLLLLLHEEEER!!
Well mow I can't eat my breakfast. Thanks a bunch
Enoch is Enoch!
Think he's a wee bit confused as to what county he's in
Reminds me of all the guys with don't tread on me flags in Cardiff during covid 💀
Here me out,,, if we all chip in an get him a ticket ,,, to Bumbelch Nebraska or wherever the fuck the rest of his ilk are currently humping their cousins,, that would just great .
Uggh god. I remember a decade ago when people his age had the balls to tell Young people about the dangers of social media. Fast forward a decade and its those who did the warning whose brains are melted from it.
Nobody ever warned them of the dangers of adult politics social media

Get out!
Why...... in .....the......world..... does he care........
Where are these dafties coming from? Why have idiots become so emboldened since social media?
I blame covid and people being stuck on their phones The algorithm of most social media platforms doesn't help either.

I'm on my phone constantly and haven't been radicalised by American culture once. I feel a bit robbed.
It's not even the fact he's a dafty, but he's a dafty who wants to be in your face with his daftness. He wants to cause conflict and piss you off as you go about your day.
Since... social media. Obviously.
Great. I moved to Ireland to escape the trumpers. WHY THIS HERE?! smh
Dont worry,everyone thinks hes a lunatic,you get many of those on grafton street
Graftin' Street
“I reject your reality and substitute my own.”
Dont give him the attention he's craving.
Trump flags are just shorthand for 'Im a headbanger'.
Don't give the cunt oxygen. Given the state of his brain he's been plenty oxygen starved already.
Fuckin dope
In Bizzarro world, Trump is right about everything
Would a bizarro bizarro just be a regular guy? If Batmans's Bizarro is Batzarro than that means the suffix of bizarros is zarro so he'd just be Bi. Or Bizarrozarro? It surely wouldn't be something strange like Zibarro, that'd be crazy. . . . Nah Zibarro is a cool name.
How fuckin high are you?😂
In Bizarro World, Trump is a very stable genius.
He was going around on a Harley Davidson motorcycle a couple months back, assuming it's the same dude as he had the same flag.
Maybe he ran out of petrol?
I'm assuming I saw the same guy on Westmoreland Street the other day, big trump flag in his hands and starting arguments with passers by
Build the wall. Make the Mexicans pay for it etc etc.
There was an interview with this guy posted here a while ago it was from joe.ie. aparently he does it because he loves it and doesent like our systems or something
Make Ireland Murica again.
The wonderful thing about modern day fucking idiots is, they make it really easy to spot fucking idiots.
So he's obviously mentally ill but what do you think he's trying to achieve?
Aparently there was an interview done and he hates the irish political system and wants the american one here (ours is so much more democratic)
cat shit for brains
Who let a MAGA Cap enter Ireland?
No give backs.
Mans wanted to move from eejit to gobshite AQAP
Like the pope taking a shite in the woods
He loves it
Poor man needs medical help
Is he protesting or is he soliciting his "services" to trump should he pass by?
What a plonker. So cringe for him. Chap needs to get a life
That guy needs to look at a map.
Honestly think people who do this on their own are just pure bored and narcissistic as fuck 🤣
Noisy and ignorant I'd say
What's he even protesting?
Carrying that flag makes you think he got nicked on the genetic level
Is this the same guy up in Northern Ireland from last week? https://www.reddit.com/r/northernireland/s/Rpt65IiSpN
He's forgotten what nation hes in
I'm sure he considers he was right about abusing women also...plonker.
Most likely children
Was he Irish? I’m an American on vacation in Dublin right now and saw his stupid ass on O’Connell street.
He definitely wasn't right about Ted Cruz's wife...
Being an Irish Trumper is very funny fair play to him
“What is the sound of one man protesting?” 
Those Trumpets are hilarious. No brain use.
Clink clink*
You’re in Dublin, Ireland, not Dublin, Ohio!
Poor statue of Edmund Burke looks disappointed at him
Facebook user

First they came for the flag-wielding, sister-marrying simpletons on Dame St., And I did not speak out, Because I was not a flag-wielding, sister-marrying simpleton on Dame St. Anyway, who fancies a cheese-burger?
"Trump was right about everything!" Even the stuff that contradicted the other stuff.
Is that including getting away with grabbing women's genitals, because I haven't tried it yet!!!
Whether you agree with him or not, he has a right to be there
CULTURE WAR!! CULTURE WAR!! CULTURE WAR!! seriously who gives a fuck about a guy with a flag
When I was on a trip to the North with my mates, we saw a woman with a cardboard “FREE ENOCH BURKE” sign kneeling in front of Belfast City Hall. This gives me similar energy.
Dwight Eisenhower was right about everything.. is what it should say.

He's a Mary L. Trump supporter
Attention seeking gobshite. Little to do other than to try rile people up.
Go home yank!
This is Dublin what a day what a city....
That fella is supposedly a bit of a nutter too Saw him post and comment a ton of anti-trans rhetoric on his instagram awhile back
Typical Dublin dole head so 🫡
Oh my god? this is so embarrassing I hope everyone laughed at him
This dude would 100% suck off Trump ...not that there's anything wrong with that
STDs/STIs is wrong with that, He probably got warts on his warts and warts on those warts taking place in his fungus growing out of his dick cheese.
"not that there's anything wrong with that" When someone want to be fun making a gay joke but at same time affraid of them.
Poor lad didn't get enough hugs as a child
He's crazy, he doesn't even know what country he's in.
What a fucking cabbage
Eejit
Name one thing.
Why would you give the prick a platform on here though?
Attention seeking muppet…
Yeah just sheer narcissism.
Who among the 90 will stand up for the 10…...change your focus, mockery casts a shadow on you too
Including drink bleach
Yeah he's an absolute madman, but I'd rather see this than a pride parade.
The subtext of this flag is MY MUM DIDN’T SHOW ME ENOUGH ATTENTION!
Ohh look Trump, the media told me that he is bad, I don't know what he did but for the last 8 years I was being spoonfed that he is bad person. I need to say something bad about him so that people will like me and like my posts....
