A lot of threads that talk about protests on here (or on the Politics / Irish Economy forum) tend to peter out into apathy with the following responses:

- it's only a waste of time / it won't make any difference
- I haven't the time to protest
- I haven't the money to get to Dublin
- it'll only hurt tourism / international reputation / public property
- tl;dr / pics or gtfo / in before Biggins / all that jazz

I don't know what the French, Greek, or British version of boards.ie is, but I'd say they'd give different responses to such threads than we do.

So what do you think are the reasons for Irish people's apathy in the face of probably the most important era since Independence?
