Immigration and Ireland - MEGATHREAD *Mod Note Added 02/09/25*

As I understand it, the ‘great replacement theory’ predicts that elites are intentionally importing immigrants so as to shore up electoral support, undermine western civilisation, or some other malign motive. I think we can dismiss that out of hand. But what the bogus theory predicts will happen is actually what is happening! - i.e. unprecedented levels of immigration undermining social cohesion. The Western establishment has been handed their response on a plate: they get to dismiss the great replacement theory as racist and delusional, and because it is so close to reality, they thereby discredit anyone warning legitimately about the effects of mass migration. And of course the media has no interest in challenging them on it.

I wish i could remember where I heard it, but some NGO-type immigrant was saying that it’s not a replacement because no one is being forced out; if anything, it’s a dilution. But that’s hardly any better! We’re supposed to just happily accept being diluted? (It’s also another example of deflection: replacement can just mean that western monoculture is being replaced by multiculturalism - that doesn’t mean anyone is being forced out).

Immigrants and their children don’t realise what it’s like to see their country’s demographics change radically. Perhaps the progressive language of ‘lived-experience’ could be used against them - they don’t have the lived-experienced of feeling increasingly alienated in the country they’ve known their whole lives. It’s gentrification at a national level, and we all know how much the left hates gentrification.

Think there's one or two knocking around from china, Pakistan etc as well Paul. They're not in your figures, are they ?

The next 20 countries are less than 12k each. The racists proposing the great replacement Theory don't do Maths. The simplle fact is the largest group of immigrants in Ireland are from the UK, and the majority of them are from Northern Ireland or are the Children or Grandchildren of Irish emigrants to the UK. There are less than 700k people in Ireland not born in the 26 counties (Including people like Saoirse Ronan and Joe McCarthy), and half a million of those are European, but you hear no-one complain about EU, UK or US immigrants. Ergo the entire complaint of the the anti-immigration lobby ignores the biggest immigrant community in Ireland, Why? Because that community is white and European.

Have you done income Tax returns for consultant surgeons from Pakistan Enircon? They pay the way for 50 to 100 US or EU citizens. Brown and black people are just as capable and often more so.
