Why do so many Arsefielders fall for the bluff that Dan is some kind of Irish Nationalist Moses...who'll lead Ireland's sons out of the cosmopolitan desert of multiculturalism?
Lots of Irish people seem to think that crossing the pond to the Great Big Beyonder and getting a job is 'making it' in a very real sense.
Irish people have this slack-jawed admiration of America and Americans as though it's the land of milk and honey and they're the chosen people. Declan's a great example of that mentality: his site draws in the very type who buy into the bullshit about the American dream. For most junior and qualified types it's a shared apartment/bedroom way off Manhattan, working fourteen hours a day and living on burgers and beer. With the likes of Deco's type it's all about how fat your mouth is and how much you can cram into it.
It's not much of a positive example to set, but it is what it is.
Thankfully, the only other people affected by his horse-shite apart from his poor bastard kids are the members on the gay bar site who LIKE everything he says.
And if they were all to drop dead tomorrow?
Nobody would even notice.
Least of all Declan, who doesn't even read what's on his own site: he just uses it to boost his sense of being a smug bastard in Farah slacks and a zipper-necked cardigan with rotten teeth and a flab of fat hanging off his gut. Ten mile walks all day every day.
Dan is a dyed-in-the-wool libertarian and free marketeer.
No, he's a
van driver.
You can't put lipstick on a pig that fat.
In other words were some Arsefielder working for him within Boston Custom Tours he'd happily sack them if a Mexican came along offering to do the same work for half the price. That's the philosophy of most Americans - give me money and fuck everything else. Anybody who can't see that he's larping as a nationalist is a fool.
The average Arsefielder is unemployable.
Fact.
Conversely, none of his new best friends bothered to register on Arsefield's until Pish closed down. What kind of a friend leaves you on your own for twelve months, waffling to yourself about people who got drunk in a Boston pub over two decades ago? I guarantee you the second Pish opens again they'll leave Dan in their droves. Arsefield's is a marriage of convenience of sorts, (a) former Pish members are granted a new platform to debate xyz, while (b) Dan gets to relieve the boredom of living in suburban Massachusetts where the closest thing to a day out consists of visiting the Walmart over fifty miles away.
Every once in a while, there's a tsunami triggered by some relatively minor incident that gains force over a short time period and rocks all the sites and wakes up the sleepy old mods, and then the chopping and changing begins. Someone gets barred, someone else gets promoted. One cunt is muted and another blows off. Back and forth it goes until an uneasy balance is created, then they start getting comfortable because they can see the lie of the land.
Soon enough, another tsunami is caused and the pack is reshuffled all over again.
It's the nature of these sites.
But in my case I'm always about taking the really scummy cunts down. Some take longer than others, but those I have tore new arses for will tell you the same story: they were going to come out anyway, it's got nothing to do with the Mowl or any of his sources.
Yeah: of course they did. They were going to suddenly tell everyone their real name and their exact location after years of desperately trying to hide it. Because they're big heap. Sure, yeah right. I do it because losers like Declan do actually wield some degree of influence, even if it's only confined to the idiots on his site. It still matters because the longer these cunts are allowed to get away with their anonymity, the more rats that'll line up behind him as they pipe their way through the town. Yaps like Val Martin, culchie King of Ireland and youtube sensation in Kingscoooort. These sorts of gobshites. As Paddy and Bridget as it gets. And right nasty scum like this one:
See? Kiddie-fiddlers, right in your own front garden. And what do the yaps do? They offer their mundane LIKES and laugh along at the hilarity of two children discussing nappies. Two little children? In nappies? Having a chat? In America? Today? Really? Show us? Really? Wow. Yeah, nappies. Little kiddies. Posting a video while entirely oblivious to its implications. On a sleazy old men's site crowded together close enough to smell each others pissy y-fronts and bad breath. Then wishing rape on children elsewhere.
Mad really, isn't it?
