It would have been and still is, a remarkably stupid thing to do, but we could... Or we could have negotiated and demanded aspects that our sovereignty was entitled to retain. Getting the Euro was solid, as was the opening of the borders. Economic reasons. Good reasons. But giving up control regarding our security, immigration and worse yet, our culture was just plain retarded. "Brussels" the Cultural hub and decider of what should be "protected"... The EU is ****ed because countries didn't stand up and retain their independence in a manner that contributed to the development of the Union. We're as much to blame as anyone else for how the EU has turned out. We have always had a voice, and a surprising large number of people willing to listen... but our political representatives chose to play agendas. The Irish political landscape pushed into Europe.. bungling along, whispering "ahh, it'll be grand". I remember the EEC and what it could have become if handled right. An economic powerhouse. Not a federal government. Meh.

For years on this very website I tried telling people the road it was going down only to be met with sneering and mockery from posters who had unwavering support, they never really did their homework on it...

Hamachi wrote: » The prime time piece was reasonably balanced. There was an attempt to portray those with reservations about immigration as deluded. That message didn’t really land very well in my opinion. It’s interesting that RTÉ even broadcast that report. Perhaps the penny is finally dropping that there is a growing sense of unease across the country about the volume of the migration?
DelaneyIn wrote: » My favourite part was, with no sense of irony, RTÉ chose to show the newly-housed refugee volunteering for the Irish homeless. No hard questions put to her on how she got here, when she will go home since the conflict is over or how many safe countries she traveled through. The other lady, volunteering to help those from her community on the housing list - absolutely torn to bits and shamed with an old Facebook post. Balanced, indeed. The tough questions and gotcha moment was only reserved for one “side.”
Hamachi wrote: » I’m pretty sure that they mentioned that those Syrian siblings were vetted and selected from a refugee camp in the Greek islands. I don’t have any issues with people who have a legitimate claim. I do agree though that the juxtaposition of an asylum seeker housed immediately with the local homeless was jarring. The folks in RTÉ clearly aren’t bright enough to preempt the message they inadvertently weaved into their narrative. The most interesting commentator was the guy who referred to the 15-20% of the electorate who aren’t catered for today. In my view, this will play out in one of two ways. Either one of the existing parties will recognize this gap in the market and develop policies to attract that cohort or a new party, with a hitherto unknown, but charismatic leader will rise, to mop up those votes. I had never heard of the Irish National Party before this evening. My view is that they won’t gain any traction with their current leader.

Minority activism has been at play for over two decades now, first with feminism, then LBG, and now with everything else, with race having a particular trump card. (longer than two decades, but its presence has been truly strong over the last two decades) The problem with the encouragment of multiculturalism, is that it feeds into creating minorities, all of whom are entitled to be protected. The NGO's, Charities, lobbyists, and activists have ensured that minorities know that they have this "right" to be provided everything on the backs of the white people. Which is why (as Wibbs has said) we never hear that Ethiopia is too black, or that China is too Asian. Instead, Western nations need other racial (and cultural) groups for them to be successful, dismissing that these nations were far more successful when immigration by other racial groups was extremely limited. This isn't about dealing with reality. This is about reshaping reality. Which is why we have this crap with "chop" going on. Or the PC brigade which continues to reinvent itself, reinforcing a creed that seeks to encourage divisions. PC culture tramples on peoples rights to express themselves... and that encourages bitterness and anger, which feeds into racism, which proves that the activists are needed. With activists who are entitled to protection even when they reject the government or every aspect of society in favor of anarchy. They're not responsible for whatever happens because they are either victims themselves, or they represent victims. So, they'll dismiss the systems that keep people safe, and dismiss any suggestion that they're responsible for any deaths or suffering caused by their movement, because they're still entitled to be protected/provided for.... and they're entitled to act against the system that provides for them. The world has gone full retard. I swear China, Russia, etc must be laughing themselves silly right now at the self-destructive impulses of western society. All they need to do is wait, while we tear ourselves apart...
Wikipedia wrote: Baizuo (/ˈbaɪˌdzwɔː/; Chinese: 白左 báizuǒ, literally White Left) is a derogatory Chinese neologism and political epithet used to refer to Western leftist ideologies primarily espoused by white people. The term baizuo is related to the term shèngmǔ (圣母, 聖母, literally "Blessed Mother"), a sarcastic reference to those whose political opinions are perceived as being guided by emotions or a hypocritical show of selflessness and empathy.
Nesta2018 wrote: » No, it's the other way round. Second wave feminism was inspired by other civil rights movements in the 1960s. Women took part in these movements and got tired of being used for tea-making and sex. You say women were minorities in industries and employment but for many feminists, it was as much about getting recognition for the vast amount of unpaid labour women do, as well as gaining entry to paid employment. That's a whole other story but your casual depiction of women's struggle for the vote, entry to professions, ownership of property, equal pay, reproductive rights as "minority rights" is very telling.

Ireland is being pushed towards the alter of progressive globalism so that it will be sacrificed upon it which is was part of the plan for the international rules based order (aka the liberal west) which took many of it's ideals from the USA but the USA is a created nation not an organic one, hence the desire to tear apart the ethnic identity of places like Ireland so there is no loyalty to the Irish people only loyalty to the political system. Making it worse liberalism along the way decided that the rest of the world wasn't the problem, we were (anyone the white label can be applied to) so need to be "reformed". That's were all of this destructive ideology germinates from and why many do not understand why the system has seemingly turned on them. The eastern Europeans have seen this which is why they are regularly demonized and out right slandered in western media as their governments pushed back against this system. The only way to stop this is to change the culture of the university's producing these people but I fear we are too far gone. The EU is unlikely to survive the next 20 years, Ireland may share the same fate as Britain in orbit of the USA, economically, culturally bound to it (also our security guarantor) but of course we will continue to be remade in North America's image and all of the drama of the USA will permeate Irish society just like the UK.
