Ireland's Radical Thought Crime Bill

Ireland is about to pass one of the most radical hate speech bills we have seen yet. The bill introduces thought crime, shifts the presumption of guilt to the approved, and means Irish people could face up to 5 years in jail for "hate". It is so radical it has drawn international attention from figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump jr. I take a look at what's in the bill, why this is happening now, and what this all means for Ireland.
