Poor Paddy: the Guinness trucks and trains have no fuel to deliver the kegs, which must have you in a sweat what with your being Dutch in origin. Pretty weird for a gnationalist to be spending his Irish money on Dutch imports. Hardly loyal, now is it?

These protests are feeding into negative old stereotypes about the Irish being thick and prone to violence.
 
Simply asking what these protests are supposed to achieve currently results in being called a traitor to 'de cause'.

Burning massive amounts of fuel to get to a protest about fuel supplies and its current high price?
 
The bumpkins and village idiots blocking OCS with their tractors never had a cause, they wanted a reduction in the price of agricultural diesel and nothing else.

Irish people I used to respect are currently turning into loons with this crisis.

These are the days I'm happy to have never learned to drive or rely on a car for my daily rounds.

I have my two bikes and I have reliable/affordable public transport.

Finns in urban areas are encouraged to use public transport as much as possible, and we do.

So far, so good.
 
People scraping by on minimum wage turning up to OCS with their tricolours thinking they share a common cause with farmers driving €200,000 tractors, or that farmers consider them as anything other than useful idiots to hasten the government into action on agricultural diesel - only in Ireland.

Farmers will get their cut in said diesel prices while the other 99% who showed up will now be faced with even higher food and fuel prices - due to the actions of farmers in recent days.

A lot of Irish people seriously lack critical thinking skills, jumping on the bandwagon for the sake of jumping on the bandwagon at any given opportunity. Emotionalism over logic and rationalism.
