Ireland is the early stages of progressive-variant Communism. I hope the traditional Irish people will be able to put a stop to it.
I’m half Irish on my father’s side. His brother hailed from County Cork. I’m sad to say that the Irish have been horribly abused throughout their history. They have also made horribly bad decisions throughout that same history. Not least of which has been to side with socialists and socialist ideation in modern times. None of that has ever worked for anyone except those in charge. Now they’re swirling the bowl of wokeness and it will not turn out well for them. Having said that, Ireland has a new hero in Conor McGregor. We’ll see how it works out.
Let there be no doubt about where Ireland stands. We want nothing to do with a backward-looking idea of sovereignty. We remain absolutely committed to the ideals of the European Union.So there goes Ireland’s current “leadership” defecating on the dead from 1916 and other battles supposedly for “independence” and a “united Ireland” that they continue to extol for political gain. If sovereignty is a “backward-looking idea” to them, then they are leading Ireland into even greater depths of abject slavery than at any other time in its history.
