Three young children were among five people injured in a knife attack in Dublin on Thursday that sparked riots in the city centre and which police have not yet ruled out any motive over, including whether it could be terror-related.
Such rioting is almost unprecedented in Dublin. There are no far right parties or politicians elected to parliament, but small anti-immigrant protests have grown in the last year.
Breaks my heart to see people channeling this energy but only to hate immigrants. There are multinational companies destroying the earth with emissions that are killing far more people than immigrants in Ireland ever have, and they're using Ireland as a tax haven, but this is what they choose to throw a riot over? In fact, I just checked and a bunch of the corporations using Ireland as a tax haven are American pharmaceutical companies. You're worried about the wrong foreigners FFS!
The collapse of the Soviet Union has been a disaster for humanity. It's gonna be at least a few years before China manages to conquer western Europe and purge the reactionaries.
Ukrainian immigrants? Are the far right groups Ukrainian themselves or is the group against Ukrainian immigrants? I don't know anything about life in contemporary Ireland.
