@CaptainKetchup5 In fact many of them desperately want to be like liberal Brits and Americans, viewing them as superior. They adopt and ape Anglo/American rhetoric. They want to cast off anything remotely attached with old Ireland which they view as backward and ignorant.
@CaptainKetchup5 Ireland has been bombarded with American and British culture/pop culture through television for 40 years. Ireland being caught between Britain and the US in a cultural context has a lot to do with how it is today. Its a deeper issue than simply 'hating the brits'
@IrishTimes@IrishTimesOpEd When I think of what it is that makes a man. What is masculinity itself? Whatever it is, however you can define it, It's the opposite of Fintan O'Toole.
@AldousAsterion@bradkelly Picked up The Seven Rays of The QBL by Frater Albertus in a thrift shop a few years ago. Don't mind admitting Its way over my head.
@fitzfromdublin Anytime I listen to Irish media it seems so alien and outrageous. It seems incredible that people don't notice anything wrong with it. Like you say it really is shocking.
@ah_lads@KeithMillsD7 How do the Times have this information then? Are they making it up? Or perhaps they got it from Gardaí and chose to publish it whereas the Irish media instead choose to hide it from the public.
