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

Our future architects….

Is there anything at all to be said for a candlelight vigil? 🤔

It’s borne of the idea that there’s a lot to be said for the idea that ignorance is bliss. It doesn’t mean I’m unaware of the misery and suffering that exists in the world inflicted by people more often upon people in their own groups than outsiders - “Don’t trust them, we’ll protect you…”, and it doesn’t require an in-depth knowledge of human history to see how that idea generally works out. I could put it down to Jewish culture just having better PR than Roma culture, but that wouldn’t go anywhere near explaining the discrepancy in how Jews and Roma are perceived, more often based upon stereotypes than reality.

Jacob the accountant is no different than Amir who’s unemployed when they’re both circumcising infants for example. That’s what I mean when I say a person’s occupation has nothing to do with culture. Even then it’s only Muslim Roma who still engage in the practice, Christian Roma don’t, and do I think most people are interested in differentiating between Christian and Muslim Roma? Nah, they’re perceived as being all the one as far as most people are concerned in my experience anyway - scumbags. The same people don’t generally have a very high opinion of Jews either. Anyone who isn’t them really, and anyone who doesn’t buy what they’re selling can get in the boat and all.

Of course any group of people who are a minority in the social hierarchy aren’t going to fit in with the predominant social group, but the idea that any minority group who have zero political influence or political representation at national level are a threat to the predominant hierarchy is only demonstrable through propaganda - cherry picking stats, highlighting negative behaviour involving people of that group, promoting negative stereotypes, etc, while ignoring, excusing or playing down the negative behaviour of members among their own group, or promoting favourable stereotypes of their own group, or groups they identify as being salt of the earth types, it has about as much legitimacy as phrenology, because it isn’t an argument based on culture, it’s an argument based upon promoting prejudice against outsiders, or favouring groups they deem acceptable in Irish society.

That’s the kind of stuff off culture wars, which I really can’t bring myself to be interested in, they kinda bring me back to that point in my life in the 90’s where I was walking into a church for Sunday mass and there were a group of young lads standing outside, and one of them obviously looking to get a rise shouted after me “paedophile!”. I just thought “fcuk me, that’s depressing”; the idea that they’d nothing better to do with their lives? I do, which is why I’m not interested in wasting it watching some tits on Twitter making eejits of themselves. I don’t need to see it. I know it goes on, I also know there is no possible good can come from me encouraging idiots who upload and spread that kind of shyte on social media. They should go read a book, one of the classics, or do something more productive with their time, they might learn something useful.

Oh Brillant! Fair Play to Donegal CC! I must read up on this. I had read in the local newspaper that since the Creeslough tragedy no more refugees were being sent here as the resources and money obviously had to used to support the area.

I said it before and I'll say it again, Letterkenny as a town is unrecognisable compared to 5-10 years ago. I know someone who worked in a school in Letterkenny on a temporary contract recently and it made for extremely grim listening to! It's starting to seep into where we are too. Another mini Letterkenny!

There were 13k pps numbers issued to Brazilians in 2022 alone. Id say its more like 50k

Ten years and the Irish will be a minority in their own country.

What a great little country we had once upon a time.

And anything but unwavering support for the destruction of your own people is; "racist", "far right" or "fascist". Europeans are the only group in history of man who've been told that they've no right to fight for their own ethnic interests.

Concern about immigration has consistently grown since 2020, think it was 6 percent earlier in the year. It'll be higher now due to the coverage.

In addition polls have consistently shown people favour caps on immigration, and limits on the number of Ukrainians the country should take.

I am not anti legal immigration at all but yes interesting in the poll above the two above are impacted largely by demand (not the only issue with either tbh) and the link between increased demand and housing issues is being increasingly highlighted. I genuinely think FF are trolling the far right with some of their recent housing tweets 😂
