    I thought the Irish were always pretty good at kicking out colonialist efforts. Maybe just try the old reliable approach.

      Our entire economy since the 80s has been reliant on neo-colonial relationships with multinational companies unfortunately

        that is unfortunate because Ireland was my backup plan for if the US falls (half of my grandparents were citizens)

          Yeah imo Ireland has never had a left-wing government, we tend towards right-populist/right centrist/neoliberal. “Stable but shit” is how I described it to my brother just this hour gone while discussing politics. We’re currently seeing the beginnings of an organized racist right as well
