Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Sounds like a threat against the government. Should maybe be investigated if anything is behind that statement.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 70 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Oh I firmly believe it is one. I'd say his goal would be to whip up some crazies and cause some damage.

Thankfully not many people listen to him any more. He's a bit of a national embarrassment.

Sounds familiar. In any case don't let it get too close, resort to sabotage if necessary. Hire Khabib to follow him around if needed.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

I'd say Khabib would do it for free.

I suspect a lot of daft lads do. I've chatted with late teen boys and they are all "Andrew Tste was fitted up!"

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 6 points 4 weeks ago

Careful you don't go the way of the US and elect your national embarrassment to the highest office in the country.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

Got hit in the head too many times

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 119 points 1 month ago (10 children)

I'm from Ireland, truly sorry that we've unleashed this cunt upon the world. It was always inevitable that he would get involved in the far-right grift, since he's fading to irrelevance. He's like an Irish Kanye, so far up his own arse he hasn't seen daylight in years.

The IRA would've put this prick in a wheelchair. Perhaps we've thrown the baby out with the bathwater.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wheelchair? Weren't they more known for body bags?

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They are referring to kneecapping, a traditional Irish punishment for... well, anyone that doesn't deserve a killing.

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 14 points 1 month ago

Informants and traitors, especially.

The Provisional IRA was an explicitly left-wing socialist group (if not quite Marxist like the Official IRA were), the defanging of which has let right wing rats like McGregor get a bit brave.

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 month ago

Thanks for the apology mate, but we don't blame you. Cunts hail from every corner of the world, we just have to do better at handling them together.

Otherwise 100% spot on though.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As an American, just know that you have nothing to apologize for, and our embarrassment is much worse.

If only the laws worked the way they do now (and my dad was still alive), I'd be getting my Irish citizenship and sharing your much milder embarrassment.

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can get it with proof of Irish parents or grandparents.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My dad would have been able to do it, then I could have. My grandfather was first generation, so I can't unfortunately. My dad passed a few years ago due to ALS, so I'm SoL on that.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You likely have a case for Asylum these days which is a nice silver lining.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Soon enough, yeah.

Its OK, my backup/escape plan is a digital nomad visa, then go from there. Thankfully I clear all hurdles for any of the countries offering them, I am OK (not great, but OK) at a few languages, etc. Saves the asylum option for others as things progress in the worst direction....

He's like an Irish Kanye

Might I suggest McGanye?

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago

I'm from the US, and I would like to say, your apology is truly unnecessary. We, and much of the world, could stand to learn a lot from Ireland

[–] Roundeyegweilo@lemm.ee 4 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Yank here. You have nothing to apologize for. We've unleashed far more absolute fuck heads onto the world than yous have, for sure.

You guys got him and Bono.

We've got like.... Damn near everyone else. Of anyone should be apologizing, it's me 😂

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

I dunno, Canada gave us Justin Bieber, the Brits gave us Russell Brand, every country has someone to apologize for, we just have a lot more of them. Except Sweden. Sweden is good.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

The difference between Connor and Kanye is that Id tell Kanye what I thought of him to his face.

Jesus, they think anything left of Attila the Hun is far-left

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 14 points 1 month ago

Attila was WOKE for DESTROYING THE EMPIRE

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

IIRC nomadic peoples like the Huns actually had a society based on communal property. It was closer to a conservative take on anarcho-syndicalism than today's system.

They are squarely right of Attila.

[–] sushibowl 1 points 4 weeks ago

Very little is known about the Hunnic culture, so it is not really possible to establish this with any certainty. That being said, it's pretty typical for pastorial nomads like this to collectively own and care for their herd. Although it's also worth noting that communal property does not usually extend between different tribes, even when these tribes were united to some extent, such as under Attila.

In general it's difficult to fairly place ancient tribal societies into the modern day political spectrum. The structure and scale of societies has changed radically.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Man I remember when Connor was the guy, i would gripe online about what a piece of shit racist, and general garbage person he was. I would get downvoted to hell on Reddit for hating on him and saying he was a shit person.

"Far left" my ass. It's the same flipflop of Fianna Fail and Fine Gael that's been in the Dail since the Anglo-Irish Treaty.

McGregor should be exiled to one of the minor islands so all of his neighbours can personally know and hate him.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 7 points 4 weeks ago

As long as there's no women there

[–] froggycar360@slrpnk.net 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I read this in a thick irish accent

The great irony is I'm not a native here.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think shit-for-brains might be a literal description of Conor.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Something about brain injury seems to turn people to the right.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 7 points 1 month ago

Paranoia and stupidity.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 19 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Man who gets punched for a living demands fascism.

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 12 points 4 weeks ago

Heavy blows to the head, repeated multiple times over the course of several years, will cause brain damage.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

God damn he's gettin old.... And I'm a year older than him fuuuuuuuccccckkk

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 11 points 4 weeks ago

His livelihood does involve repeatedly receiving impact to his head so unless you're in a similar line of work there's a good chance you've aged better.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

More women need guns. We live in a world where rape isn't even punished. Blow these people away for good.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Wrong country. This is not about burgerland.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

Lol, yeah, I'm a dumbass. I even read it and still commented that. Why I leave comments on stuff immediately after waking up, I'm not sure, but it's not helping me.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Would be a neat experiment though...... Allow guns in Ireland, but only for women. I don't think it's a great idea, but it would be interesting.

That i can agree with :D
