The Pushback against Leftism

Oh, I agree that I'm hoping to see something bigger. A return to basic common sense would be lovely. The throwing out of this PC/Woke divisive nonsense would be great. And it's happening.. slowly, and in increments.

I don't see myself as grasping at any straws... The decline of the PC movement internationally is easy to see.. and the woke movement has come up against a lot of criticism over the last few years, which previously people were intimidated against doing. That's a pushback in itself.

Oh, and I'm not expecting any extreme pushback or reversal of what's been going on. These threads tend to jump to extremes in their expectations, but a gradual erosion of the leftist policies of the last two decades? Yeah, sure. I can see that happening, and without grasping at any straws.

Agreed. Irish society has swung from it's non-offending anyone to a leftist liberal stance.. and it's unlikely to change any time soon. However, Irish society is also easily influenced by international trends, and as other countries change, that will impact on the Irish themselves, in addition, to the consequences of the leftist/liberal policies bearing fruit, with the impact coming to rest on the average Irish person, leaving them wondering why they're being penalised for XYZ.

Agreed. Even our right wing groups aren't really comparable with right wing groups in other countries. Although the extreme views of the left/right are growing in popularity here. It was always going to happen due to the influence of the Internet, the agendas being pushed by the media, and the spread of American culture.
