Mentally, what is the difference between irish and english ?

[Creoda]

The English have taken to the streets to protest, we have had Football lads alliance marches in recent years and after the Brexit vote prominent MP's were heckled and called out for their pro migration rules by angry members of the public. Support for a far right is strong and there is a possibility that the opposition could actually consist of a far right party if the Tories lose more support.

As well as the Brexit vote being a mostly anti-immigration vote (that was betrayed), there was the EDL in 00 and 10s, the National Front and BNP in the 70s, 80s and 90s, and the overwhelming public support for Enoch Powell's anti-immigration stance in the 60s and 70s. Just goes to show that a few protests and general anti-immigration sentiment isn't enough.

It has take really big awful events to turn people against migrants like the 2015 attacks in Paris which were probably a factor in the brexit referendum and also Le Pen's strong showing in the election soon after.

Whenever a terrorist attack happens in Britain,
the security services/NGOs mobilise demonstrations of imams and activists,
where everyone holds hands with the message that "We Are United" or some such nonsense.

This is the standard procedure after any attack. These campaigns are astroturf, not grassroots.
These campaigns are staged, not genuine.

These are psychological operations to "de-politicise" terrorist attacks, and "de-radicalise" an outraged population.

There is even a euphemism in the intelligence community for this type of operation,
this fake outpouring of unity and sympathy for the victims, it is called "controlled spontaneity".

They're likely brainwashed by propaganda. Reality is the cure to that particular disease.

For the brainwashed, the experience of reality either leads to a profound identity crisis or a deeper sinking into delusion.

For a rational person, being mugged by reality may be helpful.
But these are NOT rational people.

They believe that a man can become a woman, or a woman can become a man.
They believe that a cloth mask can stop a sub-microscopic virus.
They believe that the world is ending because of fossil fuels and the internal combustion engine.

The only cure is their own bitter death and disillusionment while they lay dying,
but then it is too late for them, and possibly for the country as well.
We cannot wait or expect for them to come to their senses.

It's madness isn't it? Our politicians are so PC despite the majority of people still being more pragmatic and sensible. These are obviously the silent majority. People however do need to wake up and get their voices heard. At least there is some light on the horizon especially with gender identity with the Cass report in the UK. There really needs to be a solution to all the illegal immigrants coming to the West because it is not sustainable and just going to cause more instability as cracks have been well and truly appearing for years now.

In Ireland, at least Pride Minister Varadkar has resigned, this is one good thing! Maybe there can be a political realignment.

Unfortunately Britain has Sadiq Khan as Mayor of Londonistan, Hamza Yousaf as Premier of Scotland, and Rishi Sunak as PM.

The local elections in Ireland are on June 7 so that should be interesting to see how the people will vote.

I don't think Hamza Yousaf and Rishi Sunak will last too much longer. What is interesting is Varadkar, Yousaf and Sunak were never voted in by the population.

Belgians never oppressed the Congolese. Most of the deaths were occurring before Leopold made the Congo his estate and as a result of disease and infighting. And the sources on his brutality were from one woke White American and another Black American. His exaggerated atrocities have mostly become mainstream pop culture knowledge cause of a book written by Adam Hochschild who never visited the Congo and embellished info in his book. Most of the Force Publique was also actually comprised of native Africans. Although the commanders were mostly European, and their presence actually reduced deaths among the Congolese compared to when there were Black commanders. There was a private Italian and French commission that observed this.

Later when Leopold gave Congo to Belgium, the Congo became the most advanced and richest country in Africa bested by only South Africa. Then when it was given independence, Congo became the backwater it is today.

The English oppressed the Irish, Scottish, and Welsh but their overseas colonies greatly benefitted from English/British rule. Also, Dutch culture was similarly oppressed under Belgium.

Please shut the crap up. There’s no need to argue about this.

[Septentrion]

I don't care about them, was just correcting the misconception about Belgians being an oppressive force in the Congo.

You didn’t correct anything! You’re a Yankee anyway, what do you know? There’s no misconception rather you are very naive, that’s all.

I can't argue with that. I just read a ton of tweets from Liz Cheney fans, and they shared her alleged belief that a Congresswoman, who wants to stop aid to Ukraine, is a Putin puppet (Liz called her "Moscow Marge"). I caught Liz lying in real time when she didn't read "peaceful and patriotic" in Donald Trump's tweet, even though people could see it! Her opponent trounced her in Wyoming, so she'll probably get a gig on MSDNC with her own anti-Trump schtick to entertain their elderly audience (it was surprising to learn that they have the most elderly viewership of the corporate media talk shows).

All of this likely is intentional. That would have sounded crazy in the relatively recent past, but there have been too many perfect storms in too many perfect places for it all to just be a gargantuan coincidence of mass incompetence. It's a planned and shared destruction, and you can see it happening in Australia, Canada, Ireland, and the USA at exactly the same time. When it comes to unbridled globalism, can citizens actually vote their way out of it?
