That’s sad to hear. I hear that there are talks of secession in states like Texas. What are the odds of that happening?

Yeah, politics in Ireland sucks. Other than that, it’s a good country to live in- well, it was a good country, until the lockdowns came in 2020 and the government took away our civil rights. Rent rates are increasing, houses that were up for sale have been bought out by multinational investor firms who will rent the houses out, most of our college graduates are leaving the country for work, our healthcare system is terrible, our police have become tyrants, our government controlled media shames people who criticise the government and these no alternative media aside from local radio stations and newspapers, crime is going up, we're the only country in Europe where indoor dining is not allowed, drugs are being trafficked through our country and our airports are being used as stopovers by the US military while they’re on their way to the Middle East, hate speech laws are being proposed and media does not allow debate on these proposed laws, and Ireland has a self-ID gender identity law. All of the political parties except for Aontú and the National Party will make these things worse. Sadly, Aontú only has one seat in the parliament and that’s because its founder was already in parliament when he founded the party. The National Party doesn’t stand a chance. The only ways out for Ireland is for most of the country to civilly disobey the government and make the police afraid of us, or for a revolution like the French Revolution to occur. We’ve had uprisings in this country, after all, that’s how we got our independence from the British. But Irish people usually put up with a lot of oppression until we rise up, because most of the time, we’re scared to stand up for ourselves or rock the boat. But there are protests happening in the UK, France, Greece and the Netherlands, and we do have protests here. Sadly, our protests are small and they don’t seem to be working. But who knows? Ireland has been having serious problems since the 2008 recession, but we’ve had problems with the way this country has been run since Éamon de Valera came to power in 1932, so maybe the last straw is coming soon, that will propel Irish people into a rebellion. Hopefully. Then again, the Irish government and the Irish media suck up to Joe Biden, and they might ask America to send in troops to silence dissent.

TL;DR: Ireland is not a free country, and our democracy is a sham. We’re fascist in all but name.

Almost nil. Contrary to popular belief, once a state joins the Union there is no legal way for it to leave without triggering a war, Texas included. This was decided by our Civil War.

Texas has the legal right to split itself into up to five smaller states, which give it up to 10 federal Senators- a huge political advantage which would be opposed by the other states. So that's not happening either.

Don't know if you find this comforting or not, but Biden has been floating bringing in the UN to evaluate our police forces. I think it's more likely we'll end up having Irish UN Peacekeepers here than the other way 'round.

Trust me, you don’t want UN peacekeepers in your country. They would not make your police officers better, they would probably make your cops worse. If I was an American cop, I would resign instead of let some foreigner who works for the UN talk down to me.

In fact, I wished that the Irish military would stop working with the UN. Our military should exist only to ensure that our country doesn’t get invaded and nobody smuggled in drugs or other dangerous stuff to our country. I don’t want Irish soldiers, sailors or airmen in foreign countries. I also want Ireland out of the UN. Every country should leave. The UN should not exist at all.

There are a lot of political commentators who think the Biden administration is intentionally provoking conservative Americans in the hopes that the latter will lash out violently and give the administration a basis to crack down on them. They want a domestic War on Terror™️ focused on their political opposition (who they are pretending are violent white supremacists, without much proof.)

Bringing blue helmets onto U.S. soil would simultaneously provoke American nationalists, who would see them as invaders and are armed to the teeth already, and give Biden extra troops to hunt his own people with.

So goes the theory. We'll see in six months.

Your description of blue helmets coming to America is similar to how the majority of refugees coming into Europe are military-aged men. It’s almost as if western governments hate their own people.

It feels that way. I'm talking to somebody else about the U.S. obesity epidemic rn, and honestly the fundamental explanation is that our government doesn't give a shit about us or our health. Our government also aids and abets (and indirectly funds) Antifa, who are literal terrorists. Many Antifa leaders in Portland (their base city here) have been outed as having trained with communist forces in Syria during the Obama Admin.

I wouldn't be surprised if government officials in various E.U. countries have ties to Antifa/Le Black Bloc or whatever they call themselves. My understanding is that they go back decades there, whereas they're a new group here. There seems to be a Syria-Anarchist-Leftist politician pattern.

I find it hilarious how governments don’t care about people’s health, then suddenly they lock us down and try to force us to get vaccinated “for our safety”. Obviously, people should take the vaccine if they need it, but they shouldn’t be forced to take it if they won’t want to or if they’re not ready to take it. Also, keeping us indoors and closing down gyms and parks adds to the obesity problem.

Yes, the government loves Antifa. They’ve destroyed cities across America and Germany. We also have Antifa here in Ireland, but they got their asses handed to them at an anti-paedophile rally in Dublin last year. Sadly, Antifa have gotten smarter here, and the government is doing everything they can to protect them.

Either Antifa are a neoliberal organisation, or a lot of western countries have become communist.

Antifa chose to side with paedophiles in Ireland? That's bold.

I know we talk a lot here about how mysterious the rise of the transgender... cult, movement, whatever it is... has been to see. Something's happening behind the scenes that makes all these political movements interconnect. The one trait they share is endless funding.

Ireland has a bad history with the government protecting paedophiles. We used to have a problem with priests molesting children up until recently. When the grown up victims of child defilement came forward for justice, the police and government refused to press charges against the molesters, and even went as far as to have some of the victims arrested. Thankfully, one of the victims refused to be bullied into silence by the government, so she went to the European Court of Human Rights, and the ECHR ruled in her favour. This was in 2013, by the way, so this was recent. The government all of a sudden acted all innocent, blamed the Catholic Church for all of the abuse and closed the embassy in the Vatican. However, the politicians, the journalists and the police officers who protected the paedophiles and harassed the victims got off scot-free. And even today you have "pro-human rights" and "feminist" politicians trying to protect paedophiles not just in the church but also in schools, sports clubs, the media, certain military institutions and even the police. This wasn’t a church problem, this has been a government problem.

The system was breaking down and losing public support, so it course corrected and adopted a bunch of shallow social justice policies to create a smokescreen and protect itself? You don't say. Interesting.

Certainly not happy to hear about another government riddled with pedophiles ☹️
