Ireland in particular makes sense. They know a thing or two about territorial disputes.
Modern Ireland is an absolute shit show tho.
I haven't seen a bigger nation of virtual signaling government being completely at odds with their population. It's a glorified tax heaven and I no longer wish to call it my home. I have voted with my wallet and moved out.
Irish history is messy and very few even bother to look deeper into it.
frankly, I don't know of many countries, if any, whose government isn't at odds with its population.
Haiti (no government anymore)
What about the Irish govt is virtue signaling? Genuine question, I don't know much about Ireland except for the Civil War.
They are still right on this specific issue though
You sound like white South African "expats" that fled to go live in some Whitetopia.
Why? How is it a race thing?
guy who has only seen south african expats, watching his second emigration: getting a lot of "south african expat" vibes from this
I didn't say it's a "race thing" (whatever that means) for Captain-I-Hate-Ireland up there... I said they sound no different than the whiny white ex-South Africans that fled to rich western countries but can't stop whining about South Africa.
They probably are super insecure in their decision and need infinite amounts of stranger confirmation or smh
