Martin is such a cynical snake. Words for the Irish public, actions for the US and allies.

For a long time it looked like he would be the only Fianna Fáil leader never to become Taoiseach, and how much better off we would have been. A crushing waste of space.

He does look sad very well, though. His one solid talent

It's that combination of wet blanket dreariness and real conservative conviction that makes Martin dangerous. He's a believer, he didn't go after Kneecap about Hezbollah on a whim, he buys into war on terror discourse and what Bruno Maćães calls Westernism - reactionary Atlantacist chauvinism.

You may have missed it but during the (incredibly successful) Covid vaccine roll out and all the various supports that kept society from falling apart Martin announced he was worried Ireland would succumb to "statism" and could lose our capitalist mojo. Neoliberal Purity of Essence stuff.

So he's the ideal sad face to front FF/FG's efforts to screw the country up structurally in a way that makes any left turn in policy by a future government near impossible.

Oh and don't forget the wrinkled nose and look of pure hatred when he's addressing Sinn Fein, It's almost palpable. That look of contempt he shows should be made into a spitting image puppet. They wouldn't have to distort it too much.

Or the way he talks about the north. Eoghan McNeil of The Ditch had this description of him and it's spot on, even if I think it undersells just how sincerely reactionary Martin himself has ended up.

Oh very much this, this would actually be ahead of the Sinn Fein reactions. He's a statue until SF or NI come into the conversation. Ugh, nothing redeemable about him tbh.

Simon Harris SAYS LOTS but DOES NOTHING.

All the while pocketing the big salary and big pension payed by taxpayers.

We see you.

Harris has zero ethics, morals or dignity.

An inveterate, amoral spoofer.

There's a lot of them in this government. It's how they got there in the first place.

hapexamandios.bsky.social•6 days ago

Is there any who that doesn't describe?

Probably not.

I'm struggling here ... ;)
