Sometimes things are dead simple. The entire Kneecap nonsense is a very straightforward manufactured moral panic designed to shut everyone else up about Palestine - it’s not about the lads, it’s about keeping more establishment artists and public figures from speaking out on the genocide.

I celebrated St Patrick’s Day with people from dozens of different countries, all peacefully getting along and trying to live good lives alongside each other in a tolerant and diverse country. The racist visiting the White House today doesn’t represent us. 🇮🇪☘️
