@OdohertyI64991 @DavQuinn Maybe cowardice, but it also seems like a hatred of Catholicism that's akin to hatred of Jews.

@DavQuinn As I said, they're just cowards.

'Happy news', says the writer. Does Sarah realise that marriage rates are now at their levels ever level? When religion declines, so do marriage and birth rates. That's anything but happy news.

@lbmeyler @Niall_Boylan Aontu's stance on abortion is a major reason why they have support from conservatives, Aontu has principles, unlike the death cult left parties incl FF/FG who have zero principles which has destroyed their poll ratings.

@Niall_Boylan No other party will go into a coalition with Aontu due to their abortion stance. Not going to happen. And this is the very reason why Aontu formed after Paedar broke away from SF.

It shows how PBP and crew have become so insignificant and Independent Ireland and Aontu growing so quickly. Why? Because they are listening to the people in Ireland and talk about Ireland.

@2VNews @Handre Socialists live in the world of fantasy and denial, conservatives live in the world of reality.

@Handre There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who live in reality — and those who live in fantasy and denial. One group deals with truth, consequences, and results. The other clings to wishes, slogans, and cope. Choose your side wisely. Reality always wins in the end.

Carl Menger destroyed the labor theory of value in 1871 with a single insight: humans value goods based on their marginal utility, not the labor embedded in them. The same year, William Stanley Jevons in England and Léon Walras in France independently arrived at similar conclusions about marginal utility. Three economists, three countries, one revolutionary idea that shattered Marx's entire framework. Menger's "Principles of Economics" went further than his contemporaries by building economics from individual human action rather than mathematical abstractions. While Jevons and Walras constructed elegant equations, Menger asked the fundamental question: why does anyone value anything at all? His answer traced value back to human needs and the decreasing satisfaction each additional unit provides. The tenth glass of water matters less than the first when you're dying of thirst. The timing wasn't coincidental. By 1871, classical economics had painted itself into a corner with the labor theory of value. If labor determines value, why do diamonds cost more than water? Why do identical goods sell for different prices? Value exists only in the mind of the acting individual. No intrinsic value, no objective measurement, just human preferences ranking scarce goods according to their ability to satisfy wants. Menger's approach created the foundation for the entire Austrian school tradition that followed. Böhm-Bawerk used marginal utility to explain interest rates. Mises extended it to money and the business cycle. Rothbard applied it to ethics and political theory. Every free market economist since 1871 stands on Menger's shoulders. The establishment still teaches economics as if Menger never existed, preferring mathematical models to human action, aggregate demand curves to individual choice, and central planning to market processes.

@DavQuinn That's an appalling headline, an example of hate speech. Would she use similar celebratory wording about Islam marriages?

We can of course ask why education is failing, but the real question is why is it in the same rate of decline in almost every western country? Obviously there is a central command. The same central command that is sending out directions on how to destroy not just education but almost every other facet of our societies. In this video, Dr Bella D'Arbrera reports on her investigation into the Australian education system and the disaster she discovered. We know its happening in New Zealand too and its probably even worse. Another question- are the National Party and Education Minister Erica Stanford the ones to fix this? Given Ms Stanford gave her maiden speech to parliament in a symbolic deep green suit and boasted fulsomely of her environmental past, we probably can't expect too much from her. National as a party have done very little (some say even encouraged) the Maori separatist push in New Zealand. So will they fix it? Not until they recognise the global origins of all of this deliberate subversion, and IMHO they're light years away from that. It needs to be fixed, and most urgently, or our society is doomed.

A formal complaint has been submitted to Tusla & Dept of Children regarding a U.S. company hosting an event in Dublin on 6 May as a pathway for Irish men to buy babies The event is seeking buyers willing to pay up to €250,000 Are you going to investigate this @tusla @DeptCDE

"Started with 1 percent on the rich. Ended with a surveillance apparatus that monitors every transaction, confiscates wealth before you earn it, and conditions entire populations to accept theft as civic duty." This post 👇 is specific to the US but, with specific changes here and there, the essential points it makes are applicable to every country that levies this tax.

We love hearing stories like this one. 💕 "I was booked to have a abortion, after being put under pressure, and already having a very young child. I cancelled my abortion the day before it was due, and honestly wouldn't change a thing now. My baby, who was due to be aborted, is happy and healthy. I suffered serious mental health problems back then and having this abortion would have made it much much worse. My miracle baby is now one, and due to be a big brother himself very soon." - Sophie, Birmingham If you are facing an unexpected pregnancy and need help, please message us. Abortion is never the answer. #ProLifeAndProud #RepealSection9 #WomenDemandBetter

@Eamonnmoran @fellawrites @Toibin1 No, it's not the choice of the child that is being killed, there are two human beings in a pregnancy, not one. Abortion may be "legal" but nobody has the moral right to kill another human being, that's what abortion is.

@fellawrites @Toibin1 Does anyone make you slow down and have a think when you decide to go on a night out a pollute your body with alcohol? No. Cos it’s your body and your choice.

There were 10,850 abortions in Ireland last year. The highest ever. However, many mothers didn't go through with an abortion because of the three day reflection period. The Soc Dems want to get rid of the reflection period.

"Keynes wrote in 1919 that inflation acts as 'the most important method for diminishing the burden of debt' and allows governments to confiscate wealth 'arbitrarily. He called this theft 'progress toward the managed currency of the future.’" Debtors (and almost all governments are debtors) love inflation because it allows them to borrow money when its unit value is relatively high, and to pay down the debt when the unit value has been lowered by inflation. By parity of reasoning, inflation is not quite so wonderful for savers or for people on fixed incomes, eating away at the value of their savings and reducing their spending power.

A buy a baby type event is being held in Ireland for men. Held by a huge US firm. Surrogacy is a multi billion dollar industry worldwide. "Reproductive exploitation," where women in poorer circumstances are coerced into being surrogates, is a concern as is the fact that babies will be raised without a mother. Also, it is an unpopular opinion but surrogacy is about adult wants. Not about what is best for a child. Studies show physiological changes in babies who are removed from their mother. Profound and lasting changes that affect "attachment style". I would say the same thing if this were an event for straight men to adopt babies.

This is exactly why the emphasis on "wellbeing" in schools is counterproductive and why we should pull back now before we make things any worse for kids.

@DavidCampanale A vile political party to behave in such a way.

The details I’ve not shared yet are chilling. I didn’t know that Maoist struggle sessions really were a thing - until I met the cadre of Sutton Lib Dems. People literally stood at meetings and read out denunciations and asked me to agree. Against my conscience!

I said that the politicians and MSM give people like this too much legitimacy. That includes not calling them out. I'm saying that they need to be rightly called out when they're so clearly spreading Jew hatred. People in Ireland need to realise that these crackpots like Tadhg and Lambert aren't normal abroad, and many people outside of Ireland see their Jew hatred easily. And that'll only happen when the media and politicians tell it how it is.

H&CC's report claims that fringe narratives are being “laundered” into mainstream debate via social media and political actors who amplify them. Ironically, this is an example of a far-left activist narrative being laundered into public discourse by the mainstream media while being presented as neutral research. Let's be clear, this is not a transparent empirical study and it is methodologically flawed. The research uses survey data and social media monitoring, but little transparency is provided in the report with regards to exact question wording, sampling method, weighting, margins of error, confidence intervals, social media search terms, coding rules, or how “far-right narratives” were classified. It repeatedly claims that public attitudes are becoming “steadily more inclusive year on year” yet only relys on two survey waves (2024 and 2025). Two time points might show a difference, but not a stable trend. Regardless, the changes are small enough to be within sampling or design error unless confidence intervals are shown (which they're not). For the survey design, it explicitly says that respondents were given forced-choice questions between two alternative viewpoints. This is not how you accurately capture opinion. Typically you would use a 5 or 7-point agree/disagree scale with a neutral midpoint. Many people hold mixed views around complex issues such as immigration, gender identity, housing, safety, and inequality. Using forced-choice questions exaggerates consensus by removing neutral, mixed, uncertain, or “don’t know” responses. The report tries to claim that using this type of questioning reflects how people make decisions in the real world and gives a more accurate view of their preferences. But in real life, people are not choosing between two neat alternatives and unless you are an absolute ideologue, people tend to hold nuanced and context-dependent views. The question framing in this survey does not present the two options in a neutral manner either. The position supported by the H&CC is framed as the humane, inclusive option, and the alternative as harsh and punitive. People are psychologically motivated to see themselves, and be seen by others, (even in anonymous surveys) in a positive light. Given a binary option, they're less likely to endorse a position that is framed as cruel, intolerant, or socally undesirable, even if it is more closely aligned with their policy preference. They claim that its large sample size gives “high levels of statistical significance,” but it does not report any inferential statistical analysis. The findings are reported as descriptive percentages for each year. They do not test whether the difference between years is statistically significant. No p-values are reported. Changes may simply reflect expected sampling variation. This is cross-sectional data. Unless the same individuals were surveyed in both years, the survey can only tells us the differences between two samples, not changes in people's attitudes. The report frames it as if public opinion has shifted but it would be more accurate to say the 2025 sample answered differently to the 2024 sample. The social media analysis is so bad that I hope it speaks for itself and I don't need to go into detail here. What exactly are they classifying as incidences of "far-right narratives", how did they identify these, how did they validate location data given potential distortion by VPN usage? They claim online escalation of narratives caused offline mobilisation, but one preceding the other is not evidence that one caused the other. This is basic stuff - correlation does not equal causation. The bottom line is that this is not robust social research. It is an advocacy document from an activist organisation, that uses selective data and loaded framing to advance their own political narrative. Shame on @rtenews for presenting it any other way.
