When you think of trans-insanity, the first place that likely comes to mind is the United States, where we’re worshiping gender confusion and homosexual sex acts, as if they’re the new state religion. But don’t be fooled, this isn’t merely a problem limited to the United States. This violent and mentally-deranged movement is polluting the entire Western world; just look at the horror unfolding in Ireland. As we speak, Ireland is rapidly pushing through a bill that would make it illegal to even possess so-called “hate speech.” That means if you happen to have a meme that criticizes transgenderism saved on your phone, you could actually end up behind bars.
Irish Green Party Sen. Pauline O’Reilly defended a controversial bill that could jail citizens for merely possessing material that criticizes gender identity.
The Irish Criminal Justice Bill purportedly targets “hate speech,” but some critics have compared it to the concept of punishing people for “thought crime,” a term popularized by George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984.”
The text of the “Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022,” notes that a person can be imprisoned if they “prepare or possess” material that is “likely to incite violence or hatred against a person or a group of persons on account of their protected characteristics,” one of which being “gender” identity.
This bill is so incredibly radical that it could actually criminalize Christianity. Does that mean anybody with a Bible in their home could go to prison?
The Catholic Herald observed in past months that the legislation could lead to criminalization of Catholic teaching and religious expression in general, “The Catholic Church has long-standing objective positions on issues, which, if they are to be uttered in public (and that may include the pulpit), may cause the priest or other adherent to be made subject to prosecution.”
O’Reilly defended the bill in a speech on Tuesday as she debated its merits with her peers, even as she condemned some of their rhetoric on “gender or sexual identities.” After suggesting social media has “fueled hatred” and revealed the “dirty, filthy, underbelly of hatred in Irish society,” O’Reilly argued that hate speech legislation is merely another necessary law to restrict freedom for the “common good.”
In one of the most bone-chilling, Hitler-esque justifications you’ll ever come across, O’Reilly openly acknowledges that this law does indeed limit our freedom, but somehow tries to spin it as being for a the greater good.
“When one thinks about it, all law and all legislation is about the restriction of freedom. This is exactly what we are doing here,” O’Reilly argued. “We are restricting freedom but we are doing it for the common good.”
She then suggested that people should not be free to disagree with people’s identities, warning this “discomfort” is a severe hazard.
She continued, “If a person’s views on other people’s identities make their lives unsafe and insecure, and cause them such deep discomfort that they cannot live in peace, our job as legislators is to restrict those freedoms for the common good.”
Ireland’s descent into authoritarianism continues.

If you don’t celebrate perversion, confusion, and mental illness, you will be jailed, comrade.

Jokes might soon be deemed illegal in Ireland. However, before you brush it off as an “Irish thing,” let’s not forget what happened to Douglass Mackey. He was slapped with a “conspiracy” conviction in a New York City courtroom just for sharing a hilarious anti-Hillary meme. He now faces up to 10-years in prison. This is all part of the wicked scheme by the left to control the masses under the clever disguise of pursuing the “greater good.”
The Irish "hate speech" bill hasn't even passed yet and Senator Joe O'Reilly is defending it, even going as far as saying "violent attacks on minorities often start with "jokes."
They're going after jokes, if this bill passes, free speech in Ireland is dead! pic.twitter.com/htfmxddfNL

This would be an example of “hate speech” under this new dystopian law:
Help us stop the insane hate speech law in #Ireland. An international precedent soon coming to where you are if it goes through. @jordanbpeterson @elonmusk @megynkelly Is this hate speech? #Irish politicians want to criminalise anyone who says this: pic.twitter.com/faowBcx6GN

How can one determine if their actions, words, or possessions qualify as “demonstrating hatred”? This communist law is deliberately ambiguous.
"So how is a person to know what standard of conduct amounts to hate speech or hate crime if the concept of 'demonstrating hatred' isn't clearly defined?"

However, it’s not just anti-trans “hate speech” that’s on the menu. Radical left-wingers wants all of their causes covered by this law.
Senator Lorraine Clifford-Lee advocating for tougher hate speech laws to combat "antisemitism". Why is an Irish politician obsessed with "anti semitism"? Are these her own words or is she following the orders of a powerful lobbying group? See thread below ? pic.twitter.com/K6jBp5NEuv

Thankfully, not everyone in Ireland has lost their mind and they can see through this “noble” law.
Former AG and Justice Minister @SenatorMcDowell decries NGOs who push for Hate Speech laws as being ambivalent to the violence and threats those with minority opinions are subjected to.

The left is weaponizing everything in their path, and they won’t stop until every corner of the earth is under their control.
Senator @paul_gavan of Sinn Féin announced that his party will have no choice but to vote against the Hate Speech Bill as is.
Gavan is concerned about how the law may be weaponized, and how Section 10 (possession of "hateful" material) dispels with the presumption of innocence. pic.twitter.com/DfTrAGfRIM

The left claims that there’s widespread support for vague laws that regulate thoughts and speech. Gee, who wouldn’t want the government constantly watching over them, waiting to pounce and imprison them, right? Spare us the exaggerated claims.

This is actually quite funny, and true. Even ChatGPT knows how wrong this law is.
I asked ChatGPT to write some limericks about Ireland’s new proposed hate speech legislation.

All jokes aside, if this law is approved, Ireland’s future is bleak. However, even if it fails to pass, that won’t be the end. There radical left is determined to control every aspect of life, and they won’t stop until they achieve that goal. The only way out of this mess is to remove these Marxists from power.
