In a surprising turn of events, Irish authorities have launched an investigation into renowned mixed martial artist Conor McGregor for alleged ‘online hate speech.’ The controversy stems from McGregor expressing his discontent over a tragic incident involving children stabbed by a Muslim immigrant. While the investigation unfolds, this development has sparked a broader conversation about the balance between free speech and government intervention.
McGregor’s supporters argue that this move by Irish authorities validates his concerns about what he perceives as weak and ineffectual governance. They claim that McGregor’s outspokenness on the matter highlights the broader issue of government overreach, painting a picture of a nation teetering on the edge of a woke totalitarian state.

When you speak the truth they try and cancel you.
What the British couldn’t achieve in 300 years of occupation - namely, the destruction of Irish Nationhood - the WEF/Davos types will achieve in 30.
Just like the US.
I still cannot fathom that so many people are perfectly fine with this type of iron-fisted government action. Whether it’s trying to put the boot on McGregor in Ireland, crush the truckers in Canada, or lock away the J6 protestors, the world has not seen this dictatorial governing in generations. And all those lovely, tolerant, peaceful, caring liberals seem to just love the jack-booted government thugs.
Some Muslim guy stabs a bunch of kids, killing a few and the government.....cracks down on people condemning the attacks??????
What's surprising about that?
And now it’s time for a little Q and A.
Q. What is “hate speech”?
A. It’s whatever the government wants it to be.
Q. Won’t the First Amendment protect Americans from this sort of thing?
A. Don’t be silly. We have “hate crime” laws now. It’s only a small jump from hate crime laws to hate speech laws.
BUT calling for the extermination of the Jews by violent radical muslims is just fine.
All those lovely, tolerant, peaceful, caring liberals ARE those jack-booted government thugs.
The government would do well to just leave him alone. He is much more popular than the government and if they manage to really piss him off he will run against them and win.
I hope they piss him off.
Erin go Bragh!

Investigated for hate speech and the law does not exist yet.
Fascists doing what fascists do.
Upon reflection, I stand corrected.
