Catherine Prasifka: Pete Hegseth’s war-speak is straight out of an incel handbook – to his ilk, loss of life is just part of the game buff.ly/4nn7ydk
This week I wrote about the use of incel terminology in Trump’s war rhetoric, and what that means for how they view civilians and international humanitarian law.

My article this week: Room To Improve just hits different in a housing crisis.
The problem with reality TV is that it is in conversation with reality, whether or not the producers like it.

I’m sharing this again. Based on the racist abuse that has been directed my way on the back of this piece, I think my point has been nicely proven.
No one has been able to justify why they aren’t as angry about Irish Cinderella as they are about the spice bag. Very telling.

It’s so important to highlight how the ‘migration debate’ is poisoned by out and out racism.
I am not an ‘Eastern European foreigner’. I am an Irish citizen with an Irish mother who was born here and have lived here for 30 years.
It’s not a debate, it’s a purity test.

These people do not care about your migration status, they do not care about illegal migration, they do not care about whether or not you integrate into Irish society.
They simply want everyone they deem as ‘other’ to be expelled from the country. It’s disturbing.
