You've been looking in the wrong direction, the dangers are coming from the right.

Irish people consciously adapted, they dropped their use of the Irish language fairly quickly for example.Also emigration to underpopulated countries in the 19th century is wholly different to emigration today.Most countries all over the world are over-populated and that should be the main reason controls on immigration should be implemented all over the world.

Historical events?

Oh yes I forgot that community North Korea is actually a fascist state according to you.

Same goes for Communist China, another far right regime according to you.

You can post as many 1000 word post as you like, it makes no difference to the complete nonsense what you're saying actually is.

You're unwilling to listen to anything that doesn't suit you, so everything you don't like is explaind away in some preposterously nonchalant fashion.

You have no interest in listening to reason and make the most pathetic attempts to prop up your position, usually by making outlandish claims that have no basis in fact but everyone should disregard anything that counters your position that only "the right" is a source of problems in the world today.

Come to think of it, the central conceit of this thread is that people are "looking in he wrong direction" is ludicrous.

Nobody, myself included is in countering the OP's assertion by saying that the opposite of what they're proposing (that all the danger in the world is coming from the left and not the right) is the actual reality of the situation.

All I've done here is draw attention to the fact that danger exists in the world that originates in left wing ideology and even that act of proposing a more balanced idea is to the OP anathema.

To even suggest that there is some danger posed by left wing regimes like China or North Korea is too difficult for the OP to even contemplate acknowledging and they persist with pushing their beliefs as the truth.

Their beliefs are their truth, I and others opposing the OP aren't interested in truth we're interested in fact. That's the difference and its a glaring one.

JAQing off (Just Asking Questions) is a trope of the Fox News types at this stage. You are trying to make a wild accusation that the FBI and CIA were behind the January 6th riots acceptable by framing it as a question rather than a statement. Hiding this statement behind a "just asking questions" does not absolve you giving of the evidence to back this up either. You might be able to get the people over at https://www.boards.ie/categories/conspiracy-theories to help you there.

Totalitarianism isn't exclusively right wing.

That's where you're getting confused.

You talk about Irish immigrants “up until relatively recently” and in subsequent posts back up your claims by mentioning those coming off coffin ships 170 years ago!

Were Irish immigrants “dependent” for a prolonged period of time? No.

Relatively recent Irish immigrants mainly went to Britain and America in the 1950s, 1980s. They were not so culturally different. Democracies, majority Christian, English speaking, rule of law etc and overwhelmingly spoke the same language.

There were more questions asked of immigrants arriving in Ellis Island from 1913 than are asked of arrivals in this country today.

This idea that one simply arrived in the US and went on ones merry way is incorrect.

You implied it. Or at least appeared to.

Can you acknowledge the historical and contemporary problems posed by the far left?

If you want to get snotty I can go into greater depth here.

You said "@tellmeabit is right, its a socialist economy but a fascist regime with a totalarian leader", this was in reference to a post made by the OP (Incidentally they are called Tellmehow and not "tellmeabit") in which they stated that North Korea was in fact not a communist nation but a fascist one.

Your statement that North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un is a totalarian and your suggestion that this was evidence that he and by extension North Korea as a whole could be nothing other than fascist/right wing is implying that totalitarianism is inherently right wing.

I'm not sure you're thinking yor posts through very well because to the reader the is an implication that totalarianism is inherently right wing by virtue of how you structured your post.

Maybe take a bit more care in future and perhaps leave the snarky stuff out as well.

Thanks for the detailed reply. However hard you try to frame it, I never stated or even hinted that totalitarianism is exclusively right wing. Stalin was a totalitarian. So was Pol Pot. No matter how many "suggested" or "implying" or "appeared" or "structured" or "implication" any other vague descriptions you want to make to associate me with that view are made up in your head.

Id be grateful to get another verbose reply off ya telling me why you are right though.

I read it and didn’t get your conclusion at all.

@SafeSurfer you mentioned a number of Deportation orders issued,now compare the deportation orders issued over the last 30 years or so and see how many have actually been deported,
