No Prison Space

Overpopulation symptom number 153.

Squeeze 12 people into your bedroom, throw your arms up and cry "the problem is that we need to increase the size of my bedroom!"

Just pure and utter fooking ignorance.

Hence the state of the country, exactly the results of ignorance.

Reality is looming large on this shitshow.

And why do we need all this extra infrastructure.....?

What other new element of Ireland has grown lockstep over the precise same time frame as the lack of infrastructure?

Are you going to tell me about "the economy"? The economy that is an abject failure in its purpose, ie the improvement of society and its infrastructure?

Are you going to tell me about the "need" for more migrants to fill the labour shortage, while ignoring that the labour shortage is worse than ever despite hundreds and hundreds of thousands extra people?

Ignorance to reality has gotten us where we are. As to your pavlovian-like trigger of "I know what you're REALLY saying!", that's just ignorance too.

No, you're either being purposefully incorrect in your representation and order of events, or unintentionally wrong.

We didn't start at over-capacity.

1 the government facilitated mass migration.

2 capacity was soaked up by hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people.

3 the government did nothing to alleviate the childishly predictable effect of mass migration

4 the government continued to facilitate mass migration

5 the government continued to not address infrastructural collapse due to its migration policies

This didn't happen over night. This didn't happen over 1 year.

Each and every year the government could look at the previous years lack of capacity, could look at the previous years migration, and then facilitate it again for the current year. No mistakes were made.

The ukranian war simply highlighted the creeping effect of what was happening in the country for years upon years upon years. As a side note, there isn't a snowballs chance in hell the majority of those ukranians are going to return to Ukraine.

If this is all too difficult to understand, consider the effect on necessary infrastructure in Ireland if, say, 250,000 non necessary migrants left in the morning. Housing availability, prices, healthcare, school places, and so on.

"Dramatic effect" wouldnt begin to describe it. But it works both ways, that same effect has been in operation for along time, and it is only that gradual boiling of the water that has made it less dramatic. But numbers are numbers.

To present the idea more clearly than above, you really have to ask yourself, as a matter of education, why the difference in logic and approach to these issues?

You fill a bath to capacity and beyond, water going everywhere. Would you blame the size of the bath, or admit there's too much water? Over flow.

As above, you eat until your stomach is full, but go beyond and eat till you're sick. Would you blame the size of your stomach, or admit there was too much food eaten? Over eaten.

You take all the money from your bank account as you have, and then take even more. Would you blame the lack of money, or that you withdrew too much? Over draft.

A country more or less has the necessary housing, healthcare, schools, police force, prison spaces, creches and so, but more and more people arrive year after year after year. Would you blame the lack of housing, lack of schools, lack of healthcare, or would you admit there's too many extra people? Over population.

Why would one apply one set of logical reasoning to practically any other part of their life, yet do the complete opposite in that one single regard? That's a question that's worth asking ourselves rhetorically. It gets to the heart of a whole lot thats gone wrong.

Always, without fail, the apologisers start the story after the fact.

"We need infrastructure" they say. Yes, that's very true.

Whats missing is the start, the why, the genesis of the missing infrastructure.

Homes didn't just crumble into the ground. Schools didn't lift off into space and so forth.

The arrival, and continued arrival, of hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of extra people into country is WHY we are missing all this infrastructure.

I'm not saying it is the only reason, but it is so far ahead of any other single factor it might as well be the only one.

Do you remember the myth of "we need more migrants to build more homes"? That one lasted a few years until it died on its arse. Funny how you don't hear it any more. It was a lie.

Do you remember the myth of "we need more migrants to fix healthcare". That's practically dead now too after years. Fantasy.

You see this is the problem, the reality of the situation is making a mockery of the illusion. It takes time, but again and again, the penny drops.

One of the next myths in the making is that the rapidly increasing migrant crisis is only temporary, "they'll all go home". Well, I know which way I'm betting, reality is a good side to take in these matters.

As to your assertion that "the world and it's countries can support many more people", it's pure speculative fantasy communicated by profiteering entities channelled through hapless muppets. There isn't a single iota of reality attached. Everything is demonstrably against it. Everything, not least the current reality of this country alone.

Is it easier to live a lie? Absolutely. Let me try one out, "there's plenty of room for extra people at the bottom of the sea, all we need is literal science fiction to come along and make it feasible. In the meantime we'll pack em in to every nook and cranny available. Scouts honour it'll work out".

This whole debacle, worldwide, is aging like milk. Neoliberalist corporatism practically fracking society through sheer people pressure for profit. It was never anything more than that, dressed up in idiotic daydreams for plebs.

This is going to end as badly as you'd expect.

Literally did the same thing again, just completely skipping the reason WHY things are needed, going straight to some twiddle about political apathy.

And after me just saying above that the next myth is bound to be "don't worry, they'll mostly go home", you include in your reply "the migrant issue is only temporary..."

You just can't admit that hundreds of thousands of extra people have a negative effect on homes, schools, healthcare, affordability. It's just impossible for you to admit. Well here's the trick: as a human adult, your brain knows what you daren't say.

The fallacy of this migrant led economic model is screaming loud. The most obvious thing in the world.

I've used the equivalency before, but we are experiencing the effects of having multiple limerick cities worth of population arriving...minus the cities and their infrastructure.

Golly gee whizz, I wonder how thats manifested itself in society.

Bad ideas die hard, that's for sure.
