Why is this forum so liberal/far left wing?

People were having a go at OP for not wanting Ireland to be a 'Muslim colony' like Britain. So I presume that's what the people want?

Is the politics forum not overrun with shinnerbots???

It's notable that on the Politics forum, a disparaging term like 'shinnerbots' is an acceptable part of debate - yet any similar term to any other political subgroup seems to be viewed quite dimly.

Take a look at any economic-related thread there though - it's near-universally populated by people backing status-quo/neoliberal economic views; overwhelmingly so. Serious lack of diversity.

Try the Christianity or Conspiracy forum, seems a bit less librul there. What is with people hating on immigration though or equating it with being left wing? Most successful states throughout history embraced immigration (Roman Empire, the good ol' US). An immigration policy based on racism is the dummest thing you can do as it shuts your country off to a multitude of talents which only serve to enrich it. Btw I'm not talking about a "lets flood the country with Muslims" type of policy, more of a "selective open doors" approach which Australia seems to adopt.

The Roman Empire collapsed when it opened it's borders, the same thing happened in Babylon. Even modern studies show than Multiculturalism = confusion and always descends into chaos.

At one stage only 2 or 3 countries in Europe ( and their colonies ) were considered White.

Was it the same for the mongol empire as well?

Im pretty sure there were problems due to controlling vast areas so when **** went down it was difficult to do damage control but sure, multiculturalism. They were doing fine before they become Christian.

Britain isn't a "muslim colony". Secondly a muslim is an adherent to a religion, so theres no reason they can't be British and muslim.

I know, right?! This thread has been a howl from start to finish. Started laughing at "Gender is a social construct" (As it happens though, Gender Bias is a social construct. Perhaps the OP meant that....) and now we're at war with Nigeria!?!

My Nigerian girlfriend will be as upset as me . We shall discuss this over tea once we've got through the obligatory being nice to each other ("And how is your man? and your children? and your mother and father, they are both well? and your sister in law is better I hope?") as Irish and Nigerian women do.....

90% of technological advacement came from Anglo-Saxons - Germany, England and later America. Even I'm man enough to admit that they have superior intellect to Celts/Slavs on average. No not all ethnicities or people are born EQUAL. There is a reason that the Aboriginals in Australia had not discovered the wheel when Europeans landed there a few centuries ago. Let's not sugar-coat things.

From reading this forum I can see common themes re-occurring:

-Pro-Multiculturalism
-Anti traditional Christian values
-Against pride in their heritage/culture/traditions (white guilt)
-Believe Gender is a social construct
-Pro Gay-marriage

Btw, I am not stating whether I am for or against any of the above, I am just stating the general consensus this forum follows and wondering why.

Also do you think this forum typically represents the mindset of modern Irish youth?

Mainly young and naive.

It's because the brothers that own this place are liberals, so they appoint liberal admins and moderators.

Well I've never met, or even spoke on Boards with either of the Fallon brothers. Nor have most, if not all of the other admins I'd imagine. They have absolutely zero involvement with the selection of mods, CMods or even admins, the ultimate decision to appoint new ones at all levels rests with the admins. But let's not let the truth get in the way of a good conspiracy theory, eh?

No, you are just akin to politically correct thinking. Intelligence is a factor of race not "Environment". This was widely accepted in America & Europe pre- 1960s until the whole thing was turned upside down and branded as "Scientific Racism"

Have to say, the topic of how people come to believe stuff like this - stuff which is so obviously bollocks - has always fascinated me to some extent.

Recently stumbled upon the idea of 'System Justification Theory' (and previously, Agnotology), which begins to explain part of it - pretty interesting stuff.
