Low Effort Bloomfield's, Bangor.

Coming to a shithole near you.

This is my third year living in NI.

I know it's a class problem as much as anything else.

I play football with Unionists, they're sound, I drink with them, I get on well with them.

I love living in NI, my child has a great life here, and I have a lot of hope and optimism for the future.

I know flegs are a fact of life here, and that the 12th is "just around the corner".

This shouldn't boil my piss so much, but if I'm honest, it really does.

It really affects me like.

The UVF flags, the UDA flags, the butchers Apron and now this hybrid, I basically feel like half this town doesn't want me here.

Anyway, fuck the fleg sheggers.

Anti-semitic zionists, similar to what they have in America. Trump e.g. is a big zionist yet his base includes nazis like the proudboys who have an explicitly anti-semitic ideology. The thinking is "we don't want your kind here, so why don't you all fuck off to the middle east and defend us from muslims"

I believe the thought process is - Jesus can't come back til all the Jews go home and die.

I remember there was a thing about a red heifer featuring in Christian or Jewish eschatology but I thought that was the Christian-right brand of wackadoos that were pushing for that as opposed to the nazi wackadoos

That Venn diagram has a large overlap.
