@vulturefelix @mistertodd When your reaction to dozens of Muslims getting massacred by Fascists is to leap to the defence of the biggest fascist enabler on the internet you should probably reflect on yourself and come to the conclusion that you're a scumbag.

The Irish language is under existential threat with a majority of the population fundamentally ambivalent about its existence as a result of decades of right wing neocolonial propaganda about it. Insisting that people living in Gaeltacht areas speak Irish is only common sense.
