Does anyone know what the deal with Krautchan is?

One guy kept spamming cp but how does that warrant shutting down the entire site?

In Germany it does, most(if not all) sources of fascist information-spreading are highly illegal even if it's only for shits and giggles

hello

>afraid of spiders
The fuck is wrong with you? Put a glass over it throw it outside and stop being a faggot

>being afraid of spiders
It's Ireland - they're harmless. I've never understood Irish people who are afraid of spiders.

That depends on whether the the German authorities intervened or not. There's a good chance KC could be finished in it's current form. It may return in another form, or the userbase may spread out to other similar sites.

By the way, is KC even hosted in Germany anymore?

Your life is not a product of happenstance and coincidences. Play the story of your life in reverse and you'll see it was a process you controlled from the start of your adulthood.

Stop using meaningless words in the OP.

um can you not?

>That depends on whether the the German authorities intervened or not.
The German authorites intervene a lot in these cases so they probably have.
>It may return in another form, or the userbase may spread out to other similar sites.
If there's a demand for the German speaking sections it might return in some form. If it doesn't we'll see some of them come here like when Harach and 2ch.so went down a few years ago we got a load of Russians here, the users of their Sup Forums are more likely to come here too, even if a replacement for krautchan pops up.
>By the way, is KC even hosted in Germany anymore?
Not sure, if it still is hosted in Germany it's fucked, if it comes back again they might try host it elsewhere to avoid the German authorities.

>if it still is hosted in Germany it's fucked
Given the shit that was known to have been going on over on KC, keeping it hosted in Germany would have been incredibly short-sighted.

typical

The IRA were not a Catholic organization. It was filled with atheists and Protestants. Many IRA members were not even Irish.

The attack above was on the financial district and was welcomed by many people in the UK who hated Thatcher. The bomb was set off late at night -during the weekend - to AVOID civilian causalities. There was a couple of unfortunate deaths of people who wandered into the attack. If Jihadists had the technical sophistication of the IRA, we would be talking thousands people dead. Pray that the Jihadist never reach that level. The IRA were a completely professional military operation and could have killed hundreds of thousands if they wanted.

To compare this to what took place the other day, Paris or any other Muslim attack is bullshit. I say this as an Irish person who not a Republican and has no love for the IRA. The IRA bombed the UK to get British Troops out of Northern Ireland. When the British Troops left, the IRA stopped bombing. Jihadist murder to force their religion on the UK and other nations.

Irish people living in the UK were burnt out of their homes during these years by National Front types, suffered terrible discrimination with no Lefties/PC types to stand up for them and THEY did not hold it against all English people.

Memes and the truth/complexity are often two very different things.

Sometimes it hurts to live.

>The attack above
Not sure whether this counts as an attack or not

Irish Oral amarach buachailli. Ready to talk shite, cupla focail sure.

Yes totally agree, I got really pissed off when I saw that stupid fucking image comparing that bombing to shit muslims to out, fucking ridiculous.

Shinners being madmen and collapsing stormont AGAIN (before it even began after the last elections)


4D chess I suppose

Explain the current state of things in a format so that mentally challenged mainlanders can understand what is happening please

shits retarded yo

Why?

If they call elections again, won't unionists who previously said "fuck the DUP corruption" come out to prop up the 30+ minimum after seeing how badly they slid? Are they trying to collapse Stormont with no survivors?

Why? Irish language shite?

>tfw ywn be a powerful female viking warrior who regularly raids coastal irish villages to kidnap the best specimens of redheads
feels bad

the DUP made a big fuck-up and wasted a lot of public money.The party leader (who incidentally was responsible for the problem) refused to stand aside for an investigation into her conduct, so Sinn Féin collapsed the government in protest and forced elections, which were held in early March.

SF then did amazingly in those elections and the unionists lost their majority, and the DUP lost their petition of concern (effectively a veto on new laws), SF increased their share of the seats. They said they would not go back "business as usual" and the election results gave them a mandate for this. SF wanted the DUP to agree to implement an Irish Language Act, which they were already bound to do as part of a previous agreement but were refusing to honour.

Anyway there has been no progress, the DUP are just insisting everything goes back to the way it was, their leader gets off without having to stand aside for investigation, no Irish language act etc.


SO Sinn Féin have refused to nominate someone for deputy first minister, preventing a new power-sharing government to be formed. So it's either another election or direct rule from the UK govt. 4D chess because I can't see how SF can benefit from this.

also you might have seen that Martin McGuinness died this week, if that's considered relevant.

They're possibly playing 4D chess by getting direct rule to convince some Unionists that Westminster doesn't give a shit about them, and to try and convince them to favour a reunification. The last election also had a much larger turnout mainly from Nationalists, and they're more likely to turn up now as the numbers of Nationalists and Unionists are almost equal now. Some people who are still sick of the DUP might still vote for Alliance or Greens in the future, particularly the soft Unionists who might not want direct rule. Another election would probably lead to the DUP gaining from Alliance and the UUP to scare Unionists and make them the biggest party.

they have a mandate for that. Nationalists getting bored of the DUP's antics around the Irish language and Irish identity in general is what won SF many votes last time

yes I expect DUP voters to come out in higher numbers this time, the SF surge frightened them

weird post frogweeb

It's probably Sershfrog, aka liquid sersh.

>the SF surge frightened them
I've a feeling that the threat of a Unionist surge will drive SF into an even larger share of the Nationalist vote. UUP/SDLP proposal failed utterly, moderate Nationalists might get spooked about the DUP boogeyman now that Nesbitt is kill, and vote for SF again.

There's a risk of a low Nationalist turnout of course, effectively cutting SF's leg out from under them, but if that happens they can surely just refuse to go to the table again until they get their concessions.

I don't think Westminster would let it go to a third election cycle.

apparently the mods on Sup Forums did fuckall about the kiddy porn.
that puts them at a liability
i think its hosted in america

I get the feeling that McGuinness' death will encourage SF voters to come out. Just to do the right thing by Martin and his legacy

wait so arlene foster resigned? what the fuck?

Ah ok thanks

oh i misread. thought the DUP did it not sinn féin
still, this song is very appropriate rn
m.youtube.com/watch?v=F9UKNwlhhpo

Neither, this one is an extraflagfag

What if Martin wasn't actually sick but SF realised they could mobilise the majority and forced him to commit suicide?

SF didn't 'resign' as such. They refused to nominate a deputy first minister, which is a prerequisite for a new government being formed

right right.
this is seriously interesting however.
>inb4 second troubles

why wouldnt they kill him before the last election then?

not replying to the swiss faggot

...

there were talks today between the parties but apparently the DUP didn't show up (even though tomorrow is the deadline)

So this isn't all on SF

Now come the rise of the NATIONAL PARTY

you're just jealous.

>Social Democrats collapsing
Excellent.

Hon' the Republic.

>The National Party STILL are not officially registered as a political party
Get your shit together an then their rise can begin. oireachtas.ie/parliament/media/main/documentation/Register.pdf

>rushing into something blind
We will NOT end up like the Social Democrats. The NATIONAL PARTY will secure its base, invigorate its supporters, and THEN launch itself.

>supporting meme parties

DID YOU ALL ENJOY SUMMER 2017

>The NATIONAL PARTY will secure its base, invigorate its supporters
How do they plan to do that? The best way to start that is by launching the party and officially registering it, the only people who know about it now are people who are interested in politics and a few people on /éire/pol, how else can they get the public to know they exist? You don't get any state funding if you're not registered either, along with other shit like not having the party name on the ballot.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that

You don't get State funding unless you've achieved 2% of the vote, there's no point in squandering resources, especially media attention, if you don't have a strong support base first.

What the National Party should do, and is doing, is recruiting enthusiastic young and middle-aged voters, spreading by word of mouth and ensuring it has some form of groundwork laid BEFORE launching itself as a political party. It's best to maximise public attention when you already have policies and a manifesto, than to rely solely on brand recognition.

Anybody here affected by the Bus Éireann strike?

Not fucking you obviously.

That does make sense to solidify the party and make them less likely to fall after a few key personalities leave like what happened with Renua and the Social Democrats, but the pool of potential voters has to be bigger than a few people on /éire/pol to get anywhere. You also eventually have to get word of the party out into the general public who aren't that clued into the party. They have two years until local elections and EU parliament elections, they should have something by then or they're going nowhere.

Clever boy.

>victim complex
>hostility to outsiders
These are not good cult attributes. Unless you mean it gives people with a victim complex respite

We're recruiting people who are likely to already be interested in such a party - and there seems to be quite a large support base. I've personally found 4 people to join, one of whom has also recruited another 4-5 people. We'll find a strong base first, including finding potential candidates, and then launch properly.

Every other party seems to be drifting left. We're going to target the voters they're leaving behind. Local elections will be the first obvious target, European would bring publicity. Having 2-3% of the seats in the Dáil initially would be a great showing for the party, but that's anywhere from 2 to 5 years away.

>political party recruitment in /éire/

VOTE JUSTIN BARRETT NO.1

What do you call it eh?

>I've personally found 4 people to join, one of whom has also recruited another 4-5 people.
You a cultist or something?

I think it's more of a pyramid scheme.

...

I will join any party if you fucks become more social

The Social Democrats is the party for social people.
