Reflects fundamental misunderstanding (denial) of basic learning psych i.e. stimulus generalisation, extinction, discrimination.
In learning theory, ignoring actual crime/policy lapses while punishing backlash doesn't work, it breeds resentment and stronger counter-conditioning.

If you do see it, and you dare have a reaction other than acceptance then the media will try to move attention from the horror being perpetrated on you to your reaction and they'll shame THAT as inappropriate. Gaslighting co-conspirators, architects of our doom.

Media outlets that platform politicians or NGO positions and turn comments off to the public to avoid scrutiny, are not interested in news, truth, or democracy. They are propaganda outlets. @X @nikitabier @elonmusk you should not allow politicians or media orgs to close comments.

Regressive migration policies risking Ireland’s economic performance, says Immigrant Council of Ireland irishtimes.com/ireland/2026/…

Politicians, the judiciary and the criminal "justice" system, that all fail to hold dangerous people to account, and clearly don't take knife crime seriously, are partly to blame for death and violence in Ireland.
They don't believe in containment. Prefer to socialise problems.

Just over a year ago, I nearly became another statistic.
On 18 March 2025 in Waterford City, I was the victim of a serious knife assault.
Like many victims, I trusted that the criminal justice system would do its job. I believed that once someone was charged in connection with such serious violence, public safety would be the priority.
Today, another family is grieving the loss of a 21 year old man following a separate fatal stabbing incident that is now the subject of an active Garda investigation.
Out of respect for that investigation, I will not speculate on guilt, innocence, or outcomes. Those matters belong to the courts.
But I do believe there are questions that deserve answers.
How are individuals charged with serious violent offences monitored while on bail?
The individual charged in connection with the assault on me was arrested, charged, and subsequently released on bail with conditions that included not entering Waterford City, This was after months of him hiding in the UK and bragging about the attack on TikTok saying if he gets jail he gets jail so what.
THIS IS PUBLIC IMFORMATION AMD ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE AND COURT HAS BEEN ADJOURNED!
reports indicate these bail conditions were ALLEGEDLY breached on multiple occasions, including attendance at events in the city all posted on social media.
That same individual is now ALLEGEDLY main suspect in a separate murder investigation involving another stabbing, with investigations ongoing.
This raises serious questions about bail decisions and monitoring of individuals charged with violent knife crime, especially when multiple victims were stabbed in one night in the same city.
What happens when bail conditions are allegedly breached?
Are victims and the wider public being adequately protected from repeat violence?
These are not political questions.
They are public safety questions.
I know what it is like to be on the receiving end of serious violence. I know how quickly lives can be changed forever.
My thoughts today are with the family of the young man who lost his life, and with every victim of violent crime who has been left wondering whether more could have been done.
Ireland deserves a justice system that protects innocent people, supports victims, and takes violent offending seriously.
Public safety must remain the priority.

Two men die in the space of a week. One is a black immigrant with a history of stealing and other crimes. His death is quite obviously not deliberate and very much related to his own activities over a lifetime. You are supposed to assume he was a victim of racism and that a grave injustice has occurred.
Questioning the system and demanding 'justice' is the politically correct opinion. Politicians and others will comment on the case and breathlessly decry supposed racism and discrimination against non-whites. The Non-white population are encouraged to constantly impugn the behaviour of white people collectively and claim that we all share some collective guilt over this situation. We are failing them. If you disagree you are an evil person and should be held accountable for your transgressions.
Across the same city an Irish man is lured by two men of foreign background to a place where he is brutalised and murdered on camera, seemingly due to who he is. You are supposed to draw no conclusions. An investigation is ongoing and you shouldn't prejudice it. Collective guilt is absolutely off the table. We have in no way failed this man and his family. Anyone who says anything about the case invoking collective guilt or calling out particular ethnic or racial communities for their behaviour is an evil person and should be held accountable for their transgressions.
The multicultural and multiracial society is very successful in curating such double-think. The fact that the two positions outlined above coexist, one supporting the other in some perverted dialectic, is evidence that society has been driven insane. No justice or representative governance is possible in such a society.

A society oriented towards high trust will not survive low trust.

1/ The world is very rapidly running out of refined fuel due to the Strait of Hormuz blockade, according to a new Goldman Sachs report, with only 45 days' worth of stockpiles of jet fuel, naphtha, and LPG remaining. Rationing, surcharges, and mass cancellations are forecast. ⬇️

Ireland, take note.
We have a proliferation of vape shops, mobile phone repair shops, Turkish barbers, dodgy fast food places. So many without the footfall to sustain legitimate business. Where's @gardainfo? Where's our Trading Standards @CCPCIreland?
Why are criminal gangs taking over our high street?
Sky's @ShingiMararike looks at the shops popping up on our high streets – and some of them are not quite what they seem.

The failure premium. And rather than planning and building for a sustainable Irish future, we throw money and our most precious asset at the Ponzi scheme of onshoring workers to pay future pensions, which cascades, obviously.

Imagine a 19-year-old scrolling TikTok. She watches a creator list five "signs you have undiagnosed anxiety." She recognizes three in herself. By the end of the week, she's describing herself as anxious to her friends. A month later, she's avoiding situations she used to handle fine.
What went wrong?
In a new paper by my PhD student Dasha Sandra, titled "Why mental health awareness can harm: Converging explanations for a societal problem", we argue that well-meaning mental health awareness can backfire, and we identify how. Four separate literatures (concept creep, nocebo effects, prevalence inflation, and illness self-labeling) have been circling the same problem from different angles. We show they converge on three mechanisms:
1.Awareness lowers the threshold for what counts as a disorder.
2. It trains people to scan their inner lives for symptoms and reinterpret normal distress as pathology.
3. Once someone adopts an illness identity, they behave in ways that confirm and deepen it.
The evidence is wide. Learning that loneliness is harmful makes solitude feel worse. Learning that stress is harmful worsens well-being and performance. Awareness videos about fake conditions like "wind turbine syndrome" produce real headaches. Trigger warnings raise anticipatory anxiety without reducing distress.
This does not mean awareness should stop. It means awareness can have unintended consequences, including manufacturing the suffering it tries to prevent. Inoculating people against these mechanisms works, and we already have evidence it does.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.
AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

Odd considering I've not restricted replies. For me it looks like you have @Lor2ie?
I'd not be happy if any truck crashed into my overtaking car. A rolling go-slow can qualify as moving assembly if peaceful and doesn't unreasonably obstruct. They complied with Garda instructions.

Why ask a question and prevent the person from answering? Very odd ..1. driving dangerously can be either slow or fast. They were driving large articulated trucks dangerously. 2. If your child was in an overtaking car, and they crashed into the car, what would the outcome be?

4: My final straw was the death of my 9-year-old son Harvey.Removed from the urgent list without our knowledge or consent. He died on 29 July 2025. And he's not the only one. No child should die like my son. What will YOUR final straw be?

A must read article. Especially for those that sneered at protesters. Legitimate grievances don't require your approval.
Institutional and infrastructural deficits require leadership, vision, investment and prioritisation.
Enough is enough.

One problem with jet setting globalism is that by committing national resources to solving problems elsewhere, with vanity but without mandate, politicians become so far removed from crises of own people, they fail to hear when the bell has tolled for them at home.

It's terrible. Infuriating. So bad that I wish they'd make a show where creators of shows this bad would be invited on to be electrocuted until they pass out. Last one wins.

A lot of people want to simultaneously trash the fuel protesters and also complain that they didn't win any concessions for them.
Like hiding in the bunker and blaming the soldiers who you vilified for not winning the war for you.

The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile.
That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap.
That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel.
People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.
