Huge trigger warning for the below but this is reality in Ireland. This is shit people believe, and get away with saying, and build a website on, and 100,000s allow them because they do fake competitions.

This Irish woman and reader of The Liberal says “hose everyone out of it.”

The Liberal has over half a million likes on Facebook. This IS Ireland.

We cannot stop it until we acknowledge it.

Or we have Niall Boylan, who today tweeted that the BlackLivesMatter movement had been hijacked by the wrong people. Funny, because he was so supportive of it in 2016.

Oh wait, he was saying the EXACT SAME THING.

Boylan is a presenter for Classic Hits FM, who boast 277,000 listeners every week.

Or these enlightening conversations that take place on 98fm's multiple-award winning show Dublin Talks.

It won Gold at the IMROs last year in the 'Current Affairs Programme' category.

This is mainstream. This is popular. This gets 100,000s of listeners and wins awards. This thread hasn't even touched what happens outside of the public eye, or in more niche groups. This is Ireland.
