As thugs indiscriminately attack family homes inhabited by immigrants in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, the racism is clear – what is not being discussed is monumental hypocrisy by the worshippers of Trump, Tate and McGregor, who are “educating” young men to embrace sexual aggression.

Young male sex offenders have always existed – however, today in particular, they are likely to be impacted by a social media culture not only justifying but promoting this conduct against women and girls.

The culture of objectifying women and disbelieving, minimising or justifying sexual assault (even of minors) runs as deep in fascist circles as the racism does. Today’s fascists are in full support of encouraging boys to be predatory and callous towards the opposite sex, as opposed to “embracing wokeness”, as they put it 24/7.

  • The woke mob is trying to destroy masculinity!
  • Women exist to be subdued (Tate and his ilk),
  • What was she wearing?
  • She was asking for it!
  • We don’t know if men and women can work together; we don’t know what the rules are (Jordan Peterson).
  • Grab them by the pussy! (Donald Trump).

After two teenage boys and a man of Romanian background were arrested for sexually assaulting a teenage girl, and the two boys were later charged in court, the mob erupted into violence, setting random houses on fire, where completely unrelated immigrant families lived.

From https://www.loveballymena.online/news :

Immigrants are now putting flags on their front doors to avoid their houses being set on fire during the pogrom (in 2025, may I stress):

Sexually aggressive youths are terrible (which they are, of course, and should face the full legal consequences), but youths setting fire to a building with people inside are not. It’s not like we’re dealing with sociopathic behaviour on both sides.

Innocent residents whose rented homes were set on fire were moved as an emergency measure to this location, as, you know, there was a mob trying to kill them. Similar measures are taken when a natural disaster strikes and residents are suddenly left on the streets. These were not individuals who had arrived in the country the day before (not that it would make it justifiable in any circumstances) – their homes had literally been burned in a pogrom.

The mob found out (including through the social media of an elected official) and targeted this location next.

Come get your boys, Thomas Sheridan; they’ve been setting primordial and alchemical fire again. Maybe Thor was farting on it to inflate the blaze. Thor will be conspicuously absent from court, as per usual. The irony is not lost that the patron saint of all famous rapists agitates against hordes of barbaric foreign males. It is unclear just now what his opinion is on the Ballymena situation, but one can only infer from his take on Coolock and the riots in England and Northern Ireland last summer.

The drive is not only against undocumented people who arrived on boats, through the asylum-seeking process. It’s a drive to get all foreigners out, by hook or by crook (or petrol bomb).

An active campaign of examining the incitement leading to this behaviour in the UK and Ireland is past due. There will be deaths if action is not taken. It has come very close to that during these events.

Far from caring one iota about the crime itself or the victim, this crowd, much like the one in England last year, was waiting for a spark to cause terror and destruction, and possibly death. It was confirmed yesterday in an interview with a local (I believe on Novara Media) that people were inside when the building was set on fire.

The impetus to protect women and girls from hordes of predatory males has long been used by fascists to enact blanket violence against ethnic minorities, including in the US, against the descendants of slaves forcibly brought over from Africa. It has always worked as a pretext, seen by many as reasonable.

Today, the farcical nature of this pretext is more obvious than ever. Thugs are acting as if these issues weren’t clear:

  1. There are plenty born-and-bred Irish people committing similar offences; no mob burns down their family homes or protests; read the news on who typically appears in court and for what;
  2. It is never, ever justified to attack (in any way) anyone but the person/people who committed an offence; even then one must allow the legal process to take its course;
  3. They are directly influencing young men to treat women and girls like trash;
  4. As grown men or women, they promote figures for the young to emulate, which include a variety of sex offenders, mainly rapists.

The second layer of hypocrisy: “We told you so”

The Farage brand of hypocrisy goes like this: we’ve been telling governments that this would happen if they didn’t get rid of immigrants.

In reality, they’ve been agitating far and wide to make it happen, year after year, scapegoating immigrants, including a much needed workforce, for the gradual impoverishment of lower classes.

The consequences of austerity policies, Brexit, obscure decisions on where public money was to be allocated, are now being pinned on people with no power whatsoever, whose homes are being burned down.

There will be a time when all responsible will be held to account. Equally, there will be a time when the violent and dehumanising rhetoric against women and girls from this camp is recognised as one of utmost importance and destructive impact.
