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

Yet never call out those countries at all...

Sorry but how is this relevant?

Preservation of native Irish culture has had very little impact from immigration. The Irish language, possibly the ultimate expression of Irish culture, and it's position as a social, musical and political language on this island has been largely neglected by the Irish people. The people I know who are doing great work to continue to promote old Irish customs and heritage are certainly not Far Right

Far and away, the greatest changes in Irish culture over the last number of decades have been driven from within the English-speaking world — particularly the US (including things like social media which emanated from there) and the UK (British media, sports etc). The cultural impact of migrants on the 'erosion' of Irish culture does not seem very obvious to me.

Yeah but whose core values are we talking about here? Those things you mention from wealthy western countries — well — since when are those "core values" of Ireland? Beach culture, high end gastronomy and engineering?

It sounds like picking and choosing to be honest — Brazil has a beach culture for example. Hell, from what I've seen in Latin America, most of that continent has a much more similar family oriented culture (like Ireland) than you will find in places like France (having lived there myself).

People could pick and choose what Irish culture is depending on where they are looking. Applying the same blinkers you are wearing, people could boil us down to boorish drunkards. Go into Coppers on a Saturday night — let's not pretend for a second that we don't know that women are routinely subjected to unwanted touching and grabbing by drunken Irish men and someone could just tar our entire culture with the same brush (the same way we are often told of Muslim migrants harassing women).

You could put a quiet little peaceful town out the country beside the most deprived areas of Dublin and get a very different view of what Irish culture is and what our core values are. Like the elements of culture you chose to pick out of the hat, so much of it comes down to privilege too.

Absolutely desperate stuff. You're trying to draw a comparison that's nonsensical. I'd be surprised if even a few percent of Irish men engaged in the above on a night out, and it's something that has literally nothing to do with wider Irish culture. On the Islamic side, the view of women, which results in what you've mentioned, comes from wider Islamic cultural views.

It's like groundhog day with you every time you post in here. It's been explained to you again and again, that no one blames all immigrants for anything, but that certain demographics have higher crime rates globally, and that it's simply not worth the good for the bad, as all we're doing is adding more problems to society. Every post your make relies on lies, and holding views against others that they've never had.

As has been said, certain areas of cities in Ireland have higher crime rates. I don't need to name them. You can't use places like those to tarnish all of the Irish or ban all Irish from emigrating into countries.

It always amuses me how faux concern for women and LGBT people pops up from people who never gave a crap before. And often it's even coming mysogynistically too as if they own women.

That’s a fair point.

However you also get other side and people say we should show “compassion (another buzz word) and be caring”

most of these people have as much compassion as a hungry Croc in the Florida Everglades. Do as I say, not as I do.

but your right to suggest your point. I have seen the small minority of far right (could call them much worse) who care about topics you discussed and it’s also cringe.

Again, your argument is just so frustratingly self defeating. Yes, people literally risk their lives to get to Western Europe because it's great — do you not see how this actually damages the point you are trying to make? If people are queueing up to get into the countries where mass immigration is supposedly ruining everything, why aren't they queueing up to get into all those culturally and ethnically homogenous countries that you would seemingly aspire our demographics to mimic ?

The logical endpoint of your argument would entail that the countries where there has been "mass immigration" would have experienced backsliding in liberal values. In a way, it's almost hilarious how Right-leaning commentary tells us that immigration is destroying the liberal secular democracy of Europe — yet they also bemoan the fact that liberalism has continued unabated into a new era of a more vocal transgender community. It's a weird contradictory fear-stoking argument that the countries with immigration are degrading into the Middle Ages but are also becoming way too liberal.

And of course you'd be selective in the "who would ever want to live there?" question. Yeah, who would want to live in London at all like? Who would want to live in the many multicultural urban neighbourhoods all over the West which aren't the Go-To tick-the-box of specially selected areas that are wheeled out time and time again.

Ya know, for a continent that is seemingly being utterly destroyed by mass immigration — you guys do only seem to ream off the same small list of examples time and time again. I guess it will be Molenbeek next week, then the Parisian banlieues, then back to Malmo the week after ....

LGBTQ+ allies? Do you talk like that in real life?
