Have you seen the video Fintan & Patrick Freyne released at the height of Year Zero (summer ‘20) HOW TO BE A MAN?

It was hilarious, & very swiftly deleted after a withering articulate Twitter backlash.

You are witnessing the death throes of EUSSR regime journalism. They have no idea how to correct course. The Globalists always use effeminate cowardly arsewipes like Finty to convey their messaging, and it lands as high comedy rather than serious analysis.

There's a cadre of extremely capable writers (ye pair included) who are set to nuke this ideology to high heaven in its own Big Tech stronghold, Ireland. Ironically it's the regime's own crimes (endless threats to the life & limb of dissidents and our families) which will torpedo them fatally.

Bring it on.

We are to blame for celebrating O’Toole’s preposterous analysis of Brexit. In his book and dozens of articles on the subject, he asserted that the vote was rooted in a nostalgia for empire and a national penchant for self-flagellation.

With hindsight, it is blindingly obvious that the social upheaval caused by mass migration was the dominant factor in the Brexit vote; Ireland is experiencing an immigration backlash after only a fraction of what Britain endured. It is impossible to have been more wrong than O’Toole was, yet his Brexit polemics elevated him to the status of public intellectual par excellence, emboldening him to churn out his elaborate fictions.

Look for his review of Mapplethorpe. Classic.

Only someone with the worst case of Trump Derangement Syndrome on the planet could sit down to write a piece about the greatest act of Islamic supremacist terror against the west and think to themselves how can I make this all about Donald Trump. The only thing that ever so slightly taints the Orwell Prize sitting on my shelf (2010 winner as Winston Smith “Working with the Underclass”) is that they also gave it to Fintan O’Toole.

How dare you suggest that Fintan O’Toole could write anything stupid. Clearly there exists a doppelgänger called Tintin O’Fool, boy reporter, who produces the kind of stuff that ignores the fact that the kind of people who attended the church dance that so upset Qutb tend to be the sort of people who voted for Trump.

Tintin O’Fool makes the kind of basic error pointed out by Joseph M. Bryant in the Canadian Journal of Sociology 33(1) (2008) –

“...if phenomenon X has attributes f, g, q, r, s, and phenomenon Y has f, g, t, u, v, it will entail a massive compositional error to posit isomorphism or equivalence between X and Y, simply on the partial matches f and g. Yet this is what occurs repeatedly, whether the discussion concerns guns and libraries or laws and commerce. Islamic madrasas are the equivalents of early European universities; European urban communes with their ruling merchant oligarchies are sociologically similar to the imperially governed cities of the Eastern empires…”

Loathsome as he is at least Donald Trump knows what a woman is. And listened to a few when they explained how transgenderism is utterly and totally incompatible with the sex based rights of women.
