Yes, I know this is a youtube comment. Not really the place to go looking for nuggets of wisdom but occasionally you find something good.

To be honest, it really could be nothing but I really enjoyed reading that.

quote:

In Ireland this is being considered as a candidate for urgent referral to the European Court of Human Rights. And this is not, as you inferred in your commentary Phil, a matter most of interest to Sinn Féin. It has met with universal revulsion from absolutely all parties (DUP excepted of course, but when did that shower last even pretend to be a political party in any conventional sense of the term anyway?). It is being interpreted, correctly in my view, as a blatantly aggressive action against a sovereign people whose rights are not only protected by their own constitution but by a raft of International Law statutes, not the least of which is the GFA, and all of which Britain has signed back when it used to be civilized too.

I imagine the American ambassador and her staff in Dublin are having a rather busy weekend. This time the criminal cabal running your country, whether through ignorance or malice (or both), have crossed one Rubicon too many in their haste to reduce their own people to feudalism. Assaulting civilized neighbours puts your country among some rather poor company, and the mechanisms whereby such miscreants are normally dealt with is already being cranked into gear.

Whether this will be reported as an extension of a wallpaper crime in your country or not (such is the standard of reportage in the UK at the moment), expect the result of this mechanism's application sooner rather than later.

I can't remember the quote or who it was attributed to, but it was along the lines of "smaller countries adjacent to major powers take great measures to understand the politics of their larger neighbour".

Ireland had always been the underdog in British-Irish relations, but with Brexit it found itself holding all the cards. Not long after the referendum date was announced, Irish politicians went on the offensive. They realised that for once they had the upper hand and secured support from every part of the EU and USA political systems to ensure that a hard border on the island of Ireland would never be an option.

I'm no fan of the neo-lib aspects of Ireland's government, but they correctly anticipated the result of the Brexit referendum and didn't hesitate to secure international support for their position. The UK press is full of shitpost articles suggesting that Ireland is being used as a pawn to punish the UK for Brexit. It's not the case. Ireland went on a diplomatic offensive making the case for a border-less island and brought the rest of the EU on-board.

we knew this was the end game and the only way to fight it is to not acknowledge it but that's impossible so yeah the biggest idiots in the world nevertheless turned the word 'lefty' into 'bigot' in like 2 years which was an amazing op and i guess it can be repeated for a number of issues. Maybe transrights is also anti-semitic, or BLM.

BLM is inherently racist as my dad is wont to tell me all of a sudden. Yes dad, this is the thing your terminally leftist son will agree with you on if you shout hard enough.

Goddamn. How lacking in self awareness does one need to be to consider that an acceptable, let alone funny, story to share?

I wish a pox on all the lovely folk who spout variations on "Oh, I'm not a bully. I only tormented those who really deserved it. You know, for reasons. Really good reasons like not fitting in because they were the designated outcast. I should get a medal for being an outstanding volunteer social enforcer!"
