Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I love living in supposedly one of the richest and most democratic countries in the world! I love having a parliamentary system that means we aren't dominated by two parties! I love the two main parties not being blatantly corrupt, and I love how they are completely different and aren't just identical neoliberal parties! I love that they tried to deplatform the opposition by letting independents in government speak during opposition time!
Ireland is extremely corrupt, and everyone here knows, but no one gives a shit. They don't call it corrupiton on RTE so its not a matter of national discussion. Fuck this country's politics.
Also side note but I think its strange for the author to call it "Southern Ireland" although they're presumably an Irish socialist. The country is just called Ireland, or Republic of Ireland if you need to distinguish between the Six Counties. The northernmost part of Ireland is in the country of Ireland, not the UK
Yeah I caught that one too. South Ireland / Southern Ireland gets put alongside The British Isles as a term that is likely to spike the ire of many Irish people.
