Jim Duffy casts an eye in the direction of the Shinnerbots.

I see the Shinnerbots are up to their usual disinformation and psychological manipulation again. They never stop. One of their tactics is to claim to be a voter/supporter/member of another party, and announce how they will "never again" vote for the party if the party does something that is not in the interests of Sinn Féin.



So, when Leo Varadkar announced that Fine Gael would not go into government with Sinn Féin, Shinnerbots flooded Fine Gael pages with furious rants about how "I voted Fine Gael in the last election, but never again if you don't go in with Sinn Féin." The thing is that a lot of the bots aren't the sharpest. I asked one whether he was a member of a Fine Gael 'cumann'. He said he was. He was going to raise Fine Gael's refusal to go in with Sinn Féin at the cumann meeting.

He went further. He was going to have it raised at the Comhairle Dáil Ceanntair and Ard Comhairle. I let him go on and on about how angry members of his cumann was before casually mentioning that Fine Gael doesn't have cumainn. It has branches - which he would know if he was really a member of the party. I then twisted the knife by pointing out that it doesn't have comhairles either, and the top body is called the Executive Council, not Ard Comhairle. He disappeared from the page! LOL

Another trick is challenge them about something else a party member would know but a member of Sinn Féin wouldn't. There are other ways to catch them out.

I see they are now flooding Green Party pages doing the 'outraged Green voter/supporter/member' act in full rage at the proposed coalition deal with Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil. A few seconds checking their account usually is all you need to know to realise they aren't a Green at all, but a Shinnerbot. They are similarly flooding Fianna Fáil pages and probably Fine Gael ones.

I literally don't know anyone in Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, Labour or the Greens who engage in this type of nonsense. It seems to be a particular feature of Sinn Féin - where dirty tricks and mind-games, a technique known as 'rat-fucking' that was a particular feature of Richard Nixon and his supporters, are standard.

So I guess the Greens in particular, but also Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, can expect to experience a lot of Sinn Féin rat-fucking in the next few weeks in an effort to manipulate them. 

And then Sinn Féin wonders why no other party will touch them with a barge pole.

  1. On Twitter, I had one tell me to "go home" and that I was obviously scared a united Ireland was imminent (which was then retweeted by such accounts like Mary Lou for President #think32). I retweeted this and pointed out I was an Irish nationalist and I wrote for a blog designated by some as a republican blog. The tweet was swiftly deleted and said Shinner blocked me!

    What caused this outrage? The following:

    " The statue should have been removed (as per the will of the people) and placed in a museum where the historical discussion about slavery and the British Empire could continue in an appropriate setting.

    Chucking it into the sea by mob violence is IRA/ISIS territory. No thanks."

  2. Funny as the piece is it touches on one of the many ways the party has sought to bully people.

  3. Depressing, another reason not to join them. Sad, but this is an obvious way of countering their lack of media presence .
