Basically, this.
@permacultureGB The short answer is that the left naively "secularized" but couldn't eradicate our basic human need for religious meaning. The left has converted political beliefs into sacred beliefs and are thus pursing their values with the moral fervor of a fundamentalist. As for why it's.

Actually it could be argued that it was Eoghan Harris and the crew that got Mary Robinson elected President. It was their activists that did the ground work canvassing.
It was in the early 1990s that those tiny leftwing parties began to make up parts of the government. They always got an important ministry or two such as education. Members of the Workers Party went into government as Labour and Democratic Left. Their friends were in RTĂ etc.

Avowedly leftist parties had a miniscule vote in Ireland up to the 1990s and even after that their vote was still nothing special. Yet RTE and the Irish Times was full of folk who had quite extreme left-wing views - Stalinists, Trots, Maoists and even devotees of Enver Hoxha.

The British state has decades of experience in dirty tricks. They will continue to bus in these vermin and then use them to antagonise the residents. This will be presented as two groups of protestors âclashingâ to the public. This dynamic is utilised across the West.
Hampshire Constabulary escort masked ANTIFA thugs past a local-led migrant hotel protest in Aldershot. This is a tactic designed to antagonise the locals to justify police brutality. Two-tier policing must end. Shame on @HantsPolice.

In reality, globalisation allowed for Western elites to stop investing in the West and move their capital offshore where they set up shop in China etc. The West pursued the service economy model and became complacent. The illusion of wealth persists for those who rode this wave.
The boomers entered adulthood as the world was globalising radically. The West set the tempo in terms of economics and culture. They grew up with the establishment of foreign aid programmes to the âdeveloping worldâ. Everything has changed since and they cannot grasp this reality.

The Irish Times says Irelandâs housing crisis cannot be solved due to population growth. These Boomers simply arenât getting it. If youâre under ~35, you missed the Celtic Tiger & entered adulthood into a broken system you didnât create. But we are the ones whoâll have to

For libs everything is a grand story. The details are purposefully fuzzy but there are recurring themes that can always be invoked when reality starts making itself felt such as â50s misery. âThink immigration is bad? Well Dev and McQuaid caused emigration to America, sorry chudâ.
Funny how so many Irish libs cite emigration from 1950s & 1980s Ireland, as smoking gun proof of the failure of the Irish state, yet modern Ireland is chock full of immigrants from China & India, and we're told both these states are modern economic miracles. How does that work?.

Construction industry contracting, credit hard to obtain, 4 person mortgages, state spending doubled, huge migrant hotels, David McWilliams telling us we might need to cut immigration a tad. Yep, I'm thinking we're back to a recession, property crash and another lost generation.
In the end MicheĂĄl Martin's greatest achievement will be engineering a crash without having a boom first. This one will go down in the annals.

Since the 1990s the public sector is essentially the only part of the economy which has union representation and they got everything they asked for regarding pay and pensions. I would wager everyone there is a civil servant of some sort. This is the state managing things.
Q. Why is FĂłrsa Trade Union organising counter protests you might ask? .A. FĂłrsa is the largest Irish trade union for the public service, and the second largest trade union in the state. They are made up of over 89,000 government employees

Anglo-American free trade economics are built on this kind of indentured labour. That is why Britain and America have been deindustrialised and turned into service sector economies which are overran by deliveroo drivers. No real innovation, just an immigration Ponzi scheme.
This is probably the most perfect example of why the upper classes love importing infinity numbers of migrants. They don't actually care about migrants they just see them as pawns that can be exploited for cheap labour which makes them richer.

Theres a mendacity to these people which is just inherently repulsive to Western people. They are fake and donât really understand the subtleties of our societies. Just some scammer trying to sell you something you donât want to buy, never taking no for an answer.
I'm not an American, but it enrages me to see this guy revising what it means to be American, actually daring to preach to Americans about it.

Since 2008, Western economies have been scared of recessions which are a necessary part of the economic cycle. Similar superstitious fears about a levelling or slightly declining population are driving mass immigrationism. Overproduction of elites following grand narratives.
Decline creates condition for population rebound. Mass immigrationism just extends decline. Systemic reform impossible so long as warm bodies pile in.

RT @gearoidmurphy_: Great contest #CorkvTipperary. Also, the GAA is rife with local gombeen chiefs selling their communities and nation outâŠ.

This is a problem everywhere now. All the young people I know cant find summer jobs because every entry is filled with some brown guy and his mates. We are a people who will not pass on their society to the next generation and instead bequeath it to aliens out of selfishness.
Fairly grating and disheartening seeing players meet their families by the side of the pitch and being surrounded by Somalians and Indians who croke park have decided to make up their stewarding staff with.

Derek's Island is data-driven, meaning the control of data is the currency of power, as oil was a century ago. The priests of data create grand narratives with data and use data to control society, particularly that famous GDP statistic. Ireland is simply an abstraction of data.
They're still hiding behind Dev's Island but that ended decades ago. Since the 90s we have been in Derek's Island with its data-driven orthodoxy. Progressives have far more control over society than the Church and have erected entire institutions dedicated to managing behaviour.
