In recent years, the Irish language has been successfully reclaimed by those who wish to make it as tacky, shallow and commercialised as everything else in Irish society.
One such enterprise is the BLOC TG4 brand which states that it, ‘commissions vloggers, content creators, snappers, animators and well general ‘BLOCers’ to create top social content for the BLOC community covering everything from gaming, to short films, spoken word, film reviews, travel vlogs and much more’.
For those not in the know, TG4 is the Irish language channel in Ireland which has always been quite creative, but which is now rapidly declining into an extension of Ireland’s braindead TikTok subculture.
In a latest video, it has employed the services of a Z lister who regularly appears on other forms of state media. The Z lister is most famous for having a talented brother who works as a sports coach.
The Z lister’s video is a form of ‘Autonomous sensory meridian response’, a popular type of video for weirdos who spent too much time indoors and who want to listen to sounds as they would if they were in the room with whatever is being described.
Some of the parts of the video are intended to be offensive and are as such, especially moving his hand on the crucifix.
We won’t be naming the Z lister, like many before him, this is a desperate effort for attention. He is a darling of the establishment, hence why he regularly appears on their media outlets. Yet his naive audience seems to thin that there is something rebellious about being approved of by those who run the state.
We do advise people to take significant steps to actually make a difference, the most effective of which is to debate whether or not you really want to keep paying your TV licence. There are thousands upon thousands of homeless people in Ireland, airports are closing, another recession is looming. And this is the debased anti intellectual garbage that our government chooses to spend its money on.
TG4 received almost €10 million from the TV license fee in 2016.
