Christian Morris is no stranger to the spotlight, as his multiple frivolous legal actions ended up in newspapers in 2018. They were that ridiculous. As a fine (well, average) specimen in the Irish far-right conspiracy space, he has long decried “woke nonsense” and people being perpetually offended by words.

Here’s a small sample of how he communicates with those he disagrees with politically on X, such as Claire Kerrane TD, an elected official:

Would you believe the same individual had sued McDonald’s over insults hurled at him by a third party, while he happened to be throwing a tantrum on the premises? From the Irish Independent:

According to the article (which merely described what had transpired in court), Morris had found the chips too greasy, proceeding to wipe them with napkins and throwing said napkins on a table nearby, like a truly civilised person, unlike the immigrants he keeps complaining about. Knowing the typical layout of these venues, a bin couldn’t possibly have been that far away, and he had perfectly functioning legs. Anyone else would’ve placed the litter on their own tray, if they wanted to dispose of it later. The lack of respect towards staff having to clean the table again after his rude gesture was telling. He was, at the time, a teacher, namely someone who was supposed to instil good manners into young people. He was firmly told to pick up his litter.

He started recording, like a true Karen, as if the security guard was being belligerent, as opposed to him. He asked for a refund and received it.

A few youths noticed the scene, proceeding to call him a paedophile and the F slur. You see, he doesn’t like randomly being called a nonce, albeit he does it to other people. They left, then returned and stole his phone, which he later got back. Morris sued the venue for defamation and for not having stopped the youths from re-entering, as if staff should’ve had a crystal ball, predicting the phone theft. If anything, he was the menace making a scene. Three long years later (he could’ve stopped this at any time), he had to pay the company’s legal costs.

A person with two connecting neurons would say “he should’ve put those darn greasy napkins on his tray” or “he should’ve thrown them in the bin and apologised”. He could’ve left the venue. He could’ve vented online about a bad experience, if he still felt wronged. But there he was, in court, three years later, losing money and being told he had wasted the court’s time (it was strongly implied).

Over those years, didn’t anyone explain that he didn’t have a chance in hell of winning? That he was making a spectacle of himself? That he would become a laughing stock? They may have, but to those who live for conflict and grievances, and the theatrical side of it, the fight itself is the goal, as stupid and pointless as it may be.

Note the main contradiction: being called a nonce by randos in a McDonalds was defamation of his character, but gratuitously calling an elected official a nonce on social media, with hundreds of likes and retweets, is not.

Morris had a history of frivolous litigation going back years. From the Irish Independent again:

The following description of the incident firmly positions him as the queen Karen (apologies to all the lovely ladies with this name):

Let’s say you’ve got a habit (for some reason) of scrutinising car parks looking for stickers, without being a staff member with that assignment. You’re just an observant passer-by. Then you discover that the person parking there is indeed disabled, after having challenged them, causing a needless disruption. I’m confident even overzealous sticker watchers would apologise in those circumstances. Not Morris, of course. He was hunting for conflict, not stickers.

In typical style, he sued the venue and the disabled lady.

From the Irish Independent:

If you were trying to write a parody of a serial litigator, Morris’s real actions would seem far-fetched, even as a caricature. We can see a pattern though:

  • Starting conflict single-handedly;
  • Throwing a tantrum;
  • Claiming defamation;
  • Suing the venue and losing.

Morris was involved in more litigation, over a planned housing development in his town of residence. He tried to make a dog and pony show out of that as well.

The second pattern one might notice is that when he engages in face-to-face conflict he tends to pick on women, unlikely to physically fight him. Just saying. He laments the “misogynistic” “trans agenda”, as well as the “rape culture” of countries refugees are fleeing from, while treating women aggressively every time he gets an opportunity.

Morris’s hero, Enoch Burke

Since the Burke debacle began, Christian Morris has repeatedly referred to him as a hero, and you will quickly understand why: the illogical, impractical obstinacy of a fellow teacher to pretend not to understand the law, wasting the court’s time with his theatrics. You can read the detailed story on RTE.

Opinions on the sanity of a person who does the following (from RTE):

Burke, who now claims he was fired and later imprisoned for refusing to use they/them pronouns for a pupil, was not suspended for said act at all. He antagonised school staff for months, of his own initiative, unable to let it go. He was then suspended and continued to show up on the premises – which no sane person does. If you’re suspended or fired, you take a hike.

He was not imprisoned for the pronoun issue either – but for breaching a court order to stop turning up at his former workplace. In the latest development, he was transferred to a different prison, revoking his privileges, as he didn’t behave himself in court. The judge attempted to make him see reason and expressed pity. From the Irish Times:

You’d expect a teacher to be able to understand English and display basic logic. You’d expect someone with a family to care more about said family than to continue to pose as a martyr, ostentatiously. You’d expect someone to want to go home from prison. Most inmate protests aim to improve prison conditions or gain freedom. This individual is determined to stay there.

All Burke had to do was commit to obeying the court order; to stop going to a place where he no longer had any business and where his presence caused justifiable alarm. Imagine if a former employee of any company or institution turned up consistently to their former workplace, causing a scene.

It’s no wonder Morris idolises the attention whore, whose antics are internationally known. His mind seems to work the same way. Pointless conflict taken to extremes; single-handed escalation, to the point of harassment, and inane legal manoeuvres. Thomas Sheridan is, of course, an admirer of Burke’s as well, although in typical fashion, he has flip-flopped on the issue multiple times.

Burke is reminiscent of US laughing stock Kim Davies, who was paraded around by Christian groups to speak at events abroad. Her grand gesture, as a county clerk in 2015, was refusing to issue marriage licences to same-sex couples. After refusing to comply with a court order to issue marriage licences, she was jailed for a brief period of time. Davies, the upholder of strict rules around marriage, was married 4 times.

God didn’t employ Burke as a teacher, or Davies as a county clerk. If someone’s not happy with their job, they are free to leave. Equally, Morris was free to leave every time he started and escalated the stupidest conflicts imaginable. None of this had to happen.

Aligning with groups seeking to take his rights away

This particular type of fascist deserves a post of its own, as it has become a stereotype. Morris, who is openly gay, while denouncing activism for LGBT rights, pulled a Dave Rubin. He refers to these activists as groomers and paedophiles, rejoicing when Pride events are cancelled through intimidation by fascists.

It doesn’t seem to dawn on him that the lack of homophobia he experiences today is due to decades of activism by other people. Homosexuality was decriminalised in Ireland as late as 1993. Since then, Ireland has become one of the most progressive countries in this respect.

The people Morris aligns with seek to reverse that. Like Rubin and others, Morris seems to think the far-right, when achieving power, would only target other groups, mainly trans people, allowing gay people to keep their existing rights. Very misguided, of course. They are useful idiots, as bigots and religious zealots often announce their intention to target everyone under the LGBT umbrella. What part of it’s a sin doesn’t Morris understand? Those people are convinced that aside from heterosexuals, everyone else is engaging in sin. Morris being openly gay is an affront to their sky goblin. Why would they stop at persecuting one category?

To correct him, fascists shut down one event, not the entirety of Wicklow Pride. They did this with spurious accusations that organisers were groomers and paedos. They targeted one person with a note through the letterbox, the underlying message being “we know where you live; we can come back”.

The incident was covered on Extra.ie :

It transpires therefore that Morris supports political intimidation. Thuggery. Nonetheless, he sued McDonald’s because someone gratuitously called him a nonce and the F slur in public. He wants to return to the days when anyone is free to refer to LGBT people as such, out of pure bigotry. Just not him.

I find this analysis very useful:

Israel is a “free society” according to Morris

Taking a cue from the success of paid Zionist shills like Tommy Ten Names and Farage, Christian Morris is, of course, a Zionist. Jewish Israelis are indeed freer in many respects than the citizens of civilised countries: they are allowed to rape detainees, imprison people without charge (including minors), shoot toddlers in the head, beat Palestinians to death, steal their houses, commit arson etc. They can discriminate freely, as per their apartheid system.

They are, however, not free to speak against their government, support human rights or report on damage caused to Israel by Iranian and Hezbollah missiles. If they are taken captive, the Israeli state attempts to kill them before they reach the border, as happened on the 7th of October of 2023, when the Hannibal directive was used. One might say that their lives aren’t valued at all by their government.

At the height of the genocide in Gaza, there was a sudden far-right hysteria over Palestinian flags being flown in Ireland. Thomas Sheridan once claimed Irish children would not be able to distinguish between these flags and the Irish tricolour; that they would grow up not knowing which flag represented their country. Desperation for any argument makes propagandists come up with bizarre scenarios. Morris, of course, agreed.

In-group dynamics, just like Sheridan

There is a reason far-right creators use obscure titles for their videos: it helps them bypass algorithms, which automatically identify extremist views.

This, however, is also a disadvantage: the audience is small and insular, as nebulous titles don’t incentivise prospective viewers to click. One has to be an insider, already interested, in order to consume such content.

Finally, I wonder what he meant by this:
