There's a housing crisis because of immigrants.

It's them.

It's those people over there.

Know that there's a system where the state is deliberately as policy not building enough houses because housing now relies on the market and because it relies on the market

Scarcity of housing pushes up the rents and prices, makes it more profitable for the landlords and now public money ends up flowing into the pockets of landlords instead of solving the shortage.

So it's a vicious loop.

So it becomes fertile grounds for the far right.

And a lot of far right elements tried to jump on those fuel protests at the weekend and tried to capture the anger and make the fuel protests about immigrants or refugees.

out waving their brand new Irish flags I mean we're getting to the point now I never ever thought the Irish flag could be co-opted by the far right because it's a flag of revolution and anti-imperialism and it's a flag of unity

But now we're in the situation where you see an Irish flag and you have to wonder, does that mean up the ra or refugees out?

And the only way you can tell is if the Irish flag looks brand new and it still has the crinkles on it from the packaging, then it usually means refugees out.

And then the older non-creased Irish flag means up the ra.

But why am I talking about housing when I said I was going to speak about fuel protests?

Because it's all systemic.

The system of neoliberalism over the past 20, 25 years and the feeling of hopelessness, the fact that protest doesn't work, politics doesn't seem to work because things are pushed to the private market, that breeds a social infrastructure whereby effective protest then has to become disorder, disorderly.

Let's not forget that there were riots in Dublin two fucking years ago.

But the farmers' protest there the past week was non-violent.

The only violence that I saw was members of the guards ripping protesters up.

But this was a non-violent, highly disruptive, highly disruptive protest.

that achieved a response not the response that the protesters would have wanted fully but I think we should all take a little win from the fact that we all saw protest working there the past week that's what we saw and if you want to get back to a place where protest doesn't need to be that disruptive because a social contract exists then educate yourself about neoliberal policies and fight back against it
