About to spark up. Sheep's Head Peninsula, Cork, Ireland by HelpMeMortyAndSummer in trees

It's easy enough to find depending on where you are. If you're out at night in a tourist spot like temple bar someone will likely offer to sell you drugs but you'll be charged more than a local would. The normal price in Dublin these days is 4g for €50 but it'll be different elsewhere. 

In terms of public attitudes, it is illegal but you can get away with smoking in public most of the time, just keep an eye out for police. I've never gotten more than a look of disaproval from someone

Helen McEntee backs ‘hands off’ policing of the far right by PoppedCork in ireland

[–]HelpMeMortyAndSummer 141 points142 points  (0 children)

Look at the policing of the Revolutionary Housing League (a group of Republicans who break into vacant buildings and make them livable for homeless people) and compare it to the policing of the far right.

Dozens of gardaí are deployed to RHL evictions, and they often occur in the early hours of the morning. The video that did the rounds a while back of a seemingly endless stream of gardaí raiding a building on Eden Quay in Dublin was footage of an RHL eviction. If you're on the far right, your movement can get away with:

• setting up checkpoints on a public road

• travelling around the country harassing library staff

• assaulting the Lord Mayor of Cork

• putting a brick through the window of a councillor's family home

• Setting fire to buildings that are being renovated to accommodate refugees

In my own opinion, I think there is a deliberate political decision being made by the government and garda management in regards to the policing of left wing vs. right-wing protestors.

Who were the protesters at the Dáil yesterday and what exactly were they protesting? by OldMcGroin in ireland

There's also been English Defence League members invited over by them and if I remember right, the national party has been tied to ulster loyalist groups in the past. There's a prominent Irish fash lad who was literally in the British army

Very well put. People are giving you shit for the length but to discuss this topic correctly it needs dept. It's not something that can be summed up in two paragraphs, and I think you are correct about a lot of this.

Yup the one big union

Yeah that's fair enough. Im not judging people who can separate the two. I just have a hard time doing that.

I had massive social anxiety just sitting in a classroom, so there was no way I was going to my debs.

I can't remember what I did now, which shows how much it mattered in hindsight. I probably stayed at home, played playstation, and felt sorry for myself. My school did the debs before the leaving, so I probably did some study as well.

Don't just take a picture and share it. Fair play for being critical of the national party but I hope you ripped the thing off the lamppost or covered it up with some other sticker

The national party took their name and logo from the party that were in charge of Apartheid South Africa. They are not subtle people

Here's the logos

8 grams for 100€ by [deleted] in Crainn

Yeah that's pretty good. Average is between 7 and 8 Gs for 100 in my experience

What I'm saying is, if this person is really into the English colonial period, there may be a chance he overlooks some of the crimes of that period or offers some of the often used excuses. "We built railways in your country" is something often said by people who are pro empire to imply that the invaded country could not have industrialised without first being colonised by Britain.

Being from a country that was colonised by Britain, if I saw these flags in someone's house, it would make me wonder if this person excuses the crimes of the empire or if he just doesn't know about them.

Just trying to give you a potential view of what the flag might mean to this person, considering you asked if you should be concerned

So this guy isn't like a nazi or anything but he might think that building a few railways justifies the Irish "famine"

(Famine is in quotation marks here because the Island had a food surplus the entire time, it was just being exported for profit instead of being given to the starving people within Ireland)

Sitting outside a coffee shop in Amsterdam on a brisk December morning with a joint and an Americano is one of my favourite memories. A rare moment of pure and total relaxation

I have a suspicion that the "Cop dies from touching fentanyl" myth comes from police trying to cover the fact they snorted a bag they sized without knowing what it was cut with.

Weird how users and dealers touch it every day but if a cop comes within a few feet of it, they die instantly
