The vitriol being thrown at me for pointing out that Glen Hansard fell in love with a child (it’s right there on his Wikipedia page) is super fucking telling.
![Wikipedia entry for Glen Hansard:
“Personal life
Hansard met Markéta Irglová in 2001, when she was 13 and he was 31, at a music festival organised by her parents in the Czech Republic.[31] Six years later, during the promotional tour for Once, they began dating.[32] Hansard said of the relationship: "I had been falling in love with her for a long time, but I kept telling myself she's just a kid."[33] The relationship ended after about two years.[34]”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j5xpkzbflv4z2rioex53ohh6/bafkreia4g473uzmzryi5wank3poip2sfjvfl2q2jhybwgpw7j6punql7dm)

![Wikipedia screenshot: The name on the draft prospectus drawn up by Cecil Scott Waine was "Walworth's Bazaar" – a play on the name of F.W. Woolworth, the owner of the Woolworth's chain in the United States and United Kingdom.[6] According to Ernest Robert Williams, Percy Christmas dared him to register the name Woolworths instead, which he succeeded in doing after finding out the name was available for use in New South Wales.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j5xpkzbflv4z2rioex53ohh6/bafkreiabb7ezu2mgzcmfmhxgtjerejq3cufymwdc7e4q7e2dgnqex67jju)
![Wikipedia entry on Michael Parenti:
According to David Walls, writing in New Politics, in Project Censored's 2000 volume, Parenti denied reports of genocide and mass rapes committed in Bosnia, writing: "Hyperbolic labeling takes the place of evidence: "genocide," "mass atrocities," "systematic rapes," and even "rape camps" - camps which no one has ever located."[34]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j5xpkzbflv4z2rioex53ohh6/bafkreigp5h4lgyrxnirzpz5hoo5mxhottrjptoidalopusns7fr72qoi4u)
