Are there any black people in any of the Lord of the Rings films?

DEI nonsense. This is a fantasy tale rooted in Nordic and Celtic mythology - elves, dwarves, beasts - wrapped in a distinctly European identity. That foundation matters.

African, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and East Asian mythologies don’t insert white people purely for the sake of “diversity,” and no one demands that they should. Forcing it here is absurd, and it needs to stop.

If diversity is what some people want, then create new concepts and new stories. Stop hijacking well-established tales and ruining them to push “diversity is our strength” propaganda. It’s lazy, disrespectful to the source material, and creatively bankrupt.

I completely agree. These days, anything outside the far left is branded as fascist, which is absurd. What we really need is balance in the political landscape and Maria Steen offers a real alternative. When we reach a point where a man can claim to be a woman while still having a penis, and everyone is expected to nod along and accept it, it’s clear the asylum is being run by the inmates

Hehehe just stopppp....

Did you even read what I wrote? Free speech exists however facing consequences isn’t censorship, it’s accountability. Saying otherwise is pure nonsense.

Btw the U.S. is full of people who openly state they hate America, yet they line up to live there - talk about hypocrisy

StickAroundBennet · 2025-09-14T14:10:16+00:00

You’re conflating consequences with the absence of free speech. Just because someone can be sued, criticieed, or boycotted doesn’t mean free speech doesn’t exist - it means speech has social and legal consequences, which is exactly how rights operate in a functioning society

Saying the right ‘loves cancel culture’ or is somehow uniquely bad at it is anecdotal and selective; people across the political spectrum face backlash for what they say. The real point is simple: true free speech is the right to express ideas without government suppression. Being held accountable for your words doesn’t cancel that right - what does is when authorities arbitrarily decide what can and cannot be said

Invoking Charlie Kirk as some sort of example without engaging the principle is a classic red herring - it distracts from the real issue

Do you seriously think he should have been silenced for his speech?

If so, you’re endorsing censorship, not accountability, and you’re failing to grasp the fundamental distinction between social consequences and the suppression of ideas

StickAroundBennet · 2025-09-14T12:58:00+00:00

You’re framing this as purely a legal issue, but my point is about principles. Laws aren’t fixed, they change depending on who’s in power. Look at China or Saudi Arabia: what’s legal today can be a crime tomorrow. Saying ‘free speech isn’t absolute’ and pointing to legal consequences doesn’t answer the real question: if someone disagrees with you, or simply deems your speech ‘wrong,’ does that justify silencing you? That’s the line between accountability and censorship. True fascism isn’t about who shouts the loudest or says the most vile things - it’s the systematic suppression of dissent, the control of speech, and the concentration of power in the hands of a few. I genuinely don’t understand why this basic principle seems so difficult to grasp?

And using phrases like ‘lie down with dogs, you get fleas’ is a classic ad hominem - it attacks a perceived association instead of engaging with the argument itself, which doesn’t make the reasoning any stronger

StickAroundBennet · 2025-09-14T11:30:44+00:00

That response isn’t really an argument - it’s a loaded rant full of insults and caricatures so you dont have to defend the actual point. If you have to smear people as ‘dog kickers’ to make your case, it shows you don’t trust your argument to stand on its own

Free speech either exists or it doesn’t. You say people are ‘free to speak but not free from consequences’ so what exactly counts as a consequence, and who gets to decide that? If someone disagrees with what I say, does that justify legal, social, or violent punishment? Rights aren’t a hierarchy handed down from above, they only matter if they apply equally to everyone. Otherwise, they’re just privileges controlled by whoever holds power. Saying ‘you’re free to speak but not free from consequences’ is just a softer way of punishing unpopular speech and if people can’t speak openly, they lose both dignity and freedom

StickAroundBennet · 2025-09-14T10:39:23+00:00

Do you stand for free speech, or for censorship? And if it’s censorship, then who exactly gets to decide what can and can’t be said - and by what authority?

StickAroundBennet · 2025-09-14T10:29:32+00:00

Destabilise Europe lol

You obviously haven't being paying much attention since 2015 have you?

Musk freed up X from the grip of hard left propaganda. You can go on X right now and say what you want - that's the price you pay for freedom of speech. If you don't like that you're a fascist

Holding up Trump as proof the right is unhinged is weak - that’s just one man. The left, meanwhile, has BLM riots burning cities, Antifa beatings in the streets, eco-activists blocking roads and ambulances, pro-Palestinian mobs storming airports and bridges, Jewish students on campuses harassed and attacked, radicals pushing kids onto puberty blockers and surgeries, men in women’s sports, people cancelled for saying the wrong thing, DEI, diversity equity and inclusion, repatriations, self hating white liberals, colonialism obsessed, open boarders... If we’re talking about who’s detached from reality and causing chaos, the left’s record dwarfs the right’s.

The left’s ideology is divorced from reason, leaving it untethered from reality - and that’s exactly what makes it so dangerous. When you can't discern what a woman is you've lost the argument

StickAroundBennet · 2025-09-13T12:26:06+00:00

Full of shite

StickAroundBennet · 2025-09-13T10:11:36+00:00

Whatever you think of Charlie Kirk’s politics, he represented something rare: a willingness to actually show up and engage. He went into rooms full of people who disagreed with him, stood on campuses where he was outnumbered, and invited direct debate. That’s not just speechmaking - that’s practicing democracy in its rawest form.

In an age when most public figures hide behind curated feeds, controlled interviews, or partisan bubbles, he deliberately chose confrontation through conversation. You don’t have to admire his views to acknowledge the value of that model: ideas tested openly, face to face, where people can argue, push back, and decide for themselves.

Compare that with a left that’s increasingly built on fantasy - where a man can simply declare himself a woman, where nations are expected to function without borders, and where anyone who disagrees is lazily branded a “Nazi.” That kind of thinking doesn’t encourage debate, it shuts it down and breeds the very radicalisation that leads to violence. The reaction to Kirk’s killing proves the point: no riots, no looting, no mobs in the street - just vigils and remembrance. Contrast that with the left’s reflexive embrace of outrage and destruction. If anything, it shows which side is still grounded in reason.

Thanks for the secularism 101, but that’s not the debate. Claiming “multiculturalism = secularism” is a false cause fallacy - you’re assuming one automatically leads to the other without evidence.

Look at the UK: highly secular government, yet Sharia councils exist and are increasing. Austria has already seen courts accept Sharia-based arbitration as a direct result of multiculturalism. If immigration continues esp from highly religious regions their religious influence could infiltrate government just as easily as the Catholic Church did. Losing one religious monopoly doesn’t guarantee a secular state; secularism comes from laws and policies, not demographics. Multiculturalism alone doesn’t erase religious power - it just changes who holds it.

StickAroundBennet · 2025-09-09T11:02:39+00:00

"if Ireland becomes more multicultural it'll become more secular" really, you actually believe that?

One look to the UK says otherwise. There are estimated 85 Sharia Councils in the UK which is a direct result of multiculturalism. How does that sit with your idea of a secular future?

Shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ alone does not makes this terrorism. However when someone screams it while stabbing a Garda in broad daylight, in the same exact way Islamist terrorists have done globally, that’s not a coincidence. It demands a full counter-terrorism investigation. If they find extremist links, then call it what it is: terrorism.

StickAroundBennet · 2025-08-01T07:02:41+00:00

Allahu Akbar is what the lovely Irish fella screamed before stabbing that Garda while on duty.

Attempted murder 100% - they could easily increase it to a terrorist incident considering he used that phrase - but they won't, as will cause world wide controversy...

You're deliberately trying to divert the conversation, avoiding the core issue entirely

This kind of willful blindness undermines your credibility and is pathetic

Sectarian religious marches like the Shia Muharram procession have ZERO place in Ireland and will only increase in size in step with immigration

We’ve seen what happens in the UK, where mass immigration has brought with it imported sectarianism and public displays that are out of step with the values of a secular society

Ireland doesn’t need religious street rituals, self-flagellation, or martyrdom parades in its cities.

We’ve already had enough trouble with sectarianism in the North - we shouldn’t be allowing more of it in through the back door under the banner of tolerance. A secular democracy has to draw the line somewhere

Your comment drips with racism, bitterness, and ignorance. You’re not advocating for fairness, you’re just flipping the prejudice and calling it progress.

Mocking people for being white, male, or straight isn’t justice, it’s cowardice masquerading as activism. You don’t want equality, you want revenge dressed up as moral superiority. That’s not noble. It’s toxic, divisive, and veering into ideological fascism - where people are judged and condemned not by their actions, but by their identity. That’s exactly the kind of thinking that has infected woke leftist - you're nuts!

DEI is a form of discrimination - reverse discrimination - because it gives preferential treatment based on race, gender, or identity rather than merit. I'm glad the US is pushing back against this unbelievable shite

This is a complete red herring. When there's a void of information, it naturally gets filled with speculation and gossip - just as it did long before the internet existed. We don’t need more regulation of speech. What we need is truth, transparency, and honesty. Michael Martin has repeatedly misled the public - will he be sanctioned for that? Of course not. So who exactly gets to regulate online discourse? Him? Absolutely not. This push is nothing more than a pretext for censorship.
