I know this topic comes up a lot about far right propaganda in Ireland but lately I notice YouTube explicitly promotes two particular youtubers to the top of any search about Ireland.

I notice it tonight when I search "irish 5 killed in crash news" the first two suggestions were the same two youtubers. One is an Irish guy doing a dumb thumbnail pose and Irish flag over every video, and the other is am American girl who apparently does reaction videos to what are clearly ai generated "Irish news" reports of attacks by immigrant gangs.

I always report the same two when they show up but they're constantly promoted to the top of any Ireland/ Irish search.

Is that just me? I feel like I've stepped in the Internet equivalent of dog shite and these videos are following me now.

I got this by email.

Hi All,

We understand that RTE1 are screening ‘We Only Want the Earth’ - a documentary on James Connolly - on Wednesday 26th August at 9.30 after the News.

The film tries to place Connolly’s radical ideas and many political achievements against the landscape of the contemporary world as well as documenting his more prominent role in the 1916 Easter Rising.

As well as many distinguished commentators, union activists and historians, the film also features many songs and poems - spoken and sung by contemporary artists such as Christy Moore, Stephen Rea, piper David Power, singers Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin and Esosa Ighodaro, as well as Connolly’s great, great granddaughter Tamsin Iona Connolly Heron.

Acclaimed actor Terry O’Neill performs the words of Connolly.

The film aims to reclaim Connolly’s story as well as invoking his important social vision - with a clear eye on how it resonates in our contemporary time - an era when even democracy itself appears under threat.

The film was independently produced and financed with the support of the Irish trade union movement.

Director and writer: Alan Gilsenan.

Producer and Archive Researcher: Martin Mahon.

Executive Producers: Des Geraghty and Noírin Greene.

‘We Only Want the Earth’ is a Yellow Asylum Films production for the James Connolly Foundation for Educational Equality.

Please circulate this information as widely as possible.

It just feels like the concept of drinking is owned by Israel at this point with how many drinks companies have in some ways ties to Israel. I’m now going club Orange but that isn’t really carried in as many restaurants as you think despite being an Irish brand. I’m also getting fake Oreos from M&S just recently I had a thought about if I’ve seen orange juice companies label on the list and I went to check and yeah both of orange juice companies that I quite liked the juice from are on lists, so I was just wondering what you would consider of own-brand juices from supervalue or Dunnes an okay alternative for someone who wants to try follow the boycott lists. Honestly though I think the most interesting thing would to hear what you’re favourite snacks and drinks are that don’t go to benefit a certain , very morally decisive and militaristic, country.

Wonder how that poster here earlier and all the others peddling this media circus feel now that a man is dead.
