They already Community Noted her - Clare Daly is a highly controversial Irish politician who was accused of nepotism, support for dictators like Putin and Assad, causing divide in European parliamentary left, and arguably doesn't represent not just dead Irish ancestors but also majority of living Irish.

Even if you defined it culturally, the "west" would still end at the US/Mexican border, the Polish border, Gibraltar, and the Nauru/Manus Islands

You don't think Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are Western? Or Panama?

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Western enclaves sure, but western inherently? Absolutely not

[-] Vncredleader@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

To add to that, Spain also has enclaves in north africa, so clearly you are including PR given you said it ends at Gibraltar, heck like half of Italy and Malta are south of Gibraltar.

I mean, they said the US Mexico border, I think if Mexico isn't included then it's fair enough to say the Caribbean isn't either. Honestly, after giving it more thought, I think they're right. My definition is pretty much ad hoc.
