There's lots of talk about 'toxic masculinity' as a modern problem caused by anti-social networking. Wrong. It was a problem I remember from over 60 years ago. Masculinity is inherently toxic, and young males are particularly prone to aggression and violence.
@ediz1975 It's not 'cyclists' (who they?) but Londoners who are the problem. Being antisocially selfish is normalised in Lahndan, and not giving a shite about anyone but yourself is standard.
For anyone unaware of the Belfast riots, thinking this is an Irish revolution then watch this young lad break it all down.
Know who the rioters are!
Loyalist = Loyal to 🇬🇧
Republican = Irish 🇮🇪
These rioters will be burning our flag 🇮🇪 in a few weeks!
@celtic_jaime I lived in a house with one during my childhood in Ireland. Feckin' freezing in the winter, right enough. When we flushed the tank made a pleasing shaklunk-girgle sound :)
My mother fled Éire because of poverty and Church repression which made life for women hell on Earth. She never went back. Now this son sees nazi oppression in his 'homeland' and will never return until or unless folk rise up against the nazis.
I was brought up in Bray, Co Wicklow, until my Ma emigrated to the UK. Like other paddies in England, I experienced racism daily, usually name-calling until I lost my accent. Other Irish folk got it far worse, particularly from the cops and political police in the 70s and 80s.
Bzzzt! Wrong! With the nazi-orchestrated racist violence escalating in Ireland in recent years, and killings of immigrants by the guards, it's now a racist nightmare. I've often thought of fleeing nazi Ingerlan to return home, but now Oirland can shove its 'welcome' up its hole.
