What are your views on Multiculturalism in Ireland? - Threadbanned User List in OP

Ne’er a mention of the term ‘culture’ in your post? For what it’s worth, Wikipedia has a fairly comprehensive entry on Irish culture -

None of your ‘blood coming from soil’ nonsense, as if that has ever been any definition of ethnicity. No wonder you’d claim anyone pretends they can’t understand basic definitional stuff, your definition makes no sense.

That being said, it’s not unexpected that you would pretend you don’t understand why posting negative stories about immigrants committing crime would be banned, while pro-immigrant stories aren’t. You’ve bent over backwards about the definitions of Irish, I’m sure you’re able to figure out the even longer standing principle on Boards - don’t be a dick.

Trying to associate immigrants and criminals is dickish behaviour - they’re not the same groups of people.

Yeah people that would come here legally to work with a visa and not just show up at Dublin airport with a made up story trying to leech off the state.

On the knotty issue of nationality and identity, I think a distinction can and should be made between a citizen of the Irish State and a member of the Irish nation.

In Ireland, many seem to have embraced a dogma of progressivist transubstantiation whereby a native of the Guinea Basin or the Ruhr Valley can have a few words said over them and automatically become as Irish as Padraig Pearse.

In most of the rest of the world, this would be seen as a nonsense.

I will always maintain the increasingly unfashionable position that being Irish is something and means something. That I belong to a people, a nation, a tribe; that I have a homeland.

It means less, arguably it means nothing, if any person in the world can make the same claims on the submission of the correct paperwork.

There is more to being Irish than a legal status and a demarcation to be made between a legal/administrative nationality and a cultural/ethnic nationality. Between citizens of our Republic and members of our nation.

Being born in a stable still doesn't make you a horse.

As for mass immigration being good for the economy, it is good for an insulated elite who benefit from artificially swollen labour pools and markets.

For most of the rest of us, who will find ourselves competing for dwindling space, resources and beleagered public services with the new populations in an overburdened society, the benefits, economic or otherwise, will be less tangible.

It will be difficult to celebrate bumper years for Tesco and McDonalds in Ireland when you can't find a place to live, get a hospital appointment or secure a school place for your child.

This before even accounting for the social, cultural and religious strife that has been suffered elsewhere, the first green shoots of which are already appearing here, as a result of these unprecedented influxes.

I was interested to see environmentalism feature in the discussion. Mass immigration, upon which multiculturalism is predicated, is, by any metric, damaging for the host environment.

There seems to be a belief in magic among the advocates of mass immigration in that that many have expressed faith that we can and must continue with transformative population increases and reduce our carbon emissions at the same time. Logically, this is on par with arguing you can and must jump into a swimming pool without getting wet.

As well as this, population increases will cause further encroachment on and pollution of the far from abundant ecosystems of our homeland.

It's ironic to see left leaning progressivists duped into supporting ruthlessly capitalistic, environmentally catastrophic processes. It would make me smile were the consequences not so grave.

Corporatism accomplished one of the greatest propaganda coups of the modern era in converting their natural opponents into the most vicious defenders of their interests in this aspect.

Recently Saudi introduced an expat tax. Pakistani family living there didn’t like it and moved to Ireland via England, Were about to be deported but were reprieved as Dept caved to a small local protest by the local do-gooders .One of the nicer ways the Saudi get rid of people they don’t want.

It’s not a crime to fly the Russian flag so I don’t see the point. Also there is still not explanation of what the Z or now the O actually means.
