1/ Everybody is getting objectively poorer as our wealth is divided between more people. Here is how GDP per capita has fared in the last 20 years when you take monetary debasement ( quantitative easing) into account.
@notoracismIRL Speaking of Jail time should Mr Kannon get jail time for running around saying he would start carrying a gun to deal with Irish people in your space ?
@_PeterRyan I believe it’s all part of the process required and in time good people will get pushed to the front.
Right now the Overton window is shifting making room ( and leaving some marooned ) for once taboo topics.
Everybody will learn something in time for the general election.
@EdBIre1 I have experienced exactly this on a space with a left person. One by one he listed my follows so that he could avoid answering a simple question.
I’m my experience this is 100% true. 100%
Nearly every discussion I have had with people on the left their intent is to run a kangaroo court and pronounce you racist.
When the conversation is eventually landed on practicalities they run away.
Here are the political options the left is giving Ireland.
Option 1: Open borders socialism.
A failed idea, even with closed borders. It has never even been tried with this level of immigration (because no one would move to a socialist country, they're all shit holes), and can be dismissed at face value as it's a ludicrous idea.
Option 2: Get called a racist by socialists for suggesting anything different than Option 1.
They need to call you a racist because Option 1 is so stupid, the debate cannot be about Option 1's merits.
The debate needs to be about whether or not you're a racist.
@thelaymanstake When the press suddenly started covering the topic I thought it was to set up Harris as the hero ( if only temporarily ) with his Ukraine announcement.. Now I think they have been overtaken by events and are left just having to cover it.
Whatever your opinion on immigration remember with the governments plan of devolving power to Brussels it doesn’t matter. Your opinion doesn’t matter. It’s not even power sharing , it’s power transferring.
How long before the Dail is the communications office of Brussels?
@wethepeopleeire Run your own spaces you are a good speaker . I would say keep it smaller speaking panel 1:1 versus getting into a pile on with genuine speakers .
Also open your dms so people can contact you directly .
@notoracismIRL Question : is the discussion about the “actors” getting stale and are they being used as a means to avoid discussing what is becoming a practically impossible decision.
@sarahcatryan It’s such a microcosm of who they are though. Still it’s cringe in a level that’s hard to fathom since their base isn’t even on Twitter .
