On RTÉ this morning Peter Burke said the reason exports of Irish alumina to Russia doubled after the invasion is because European companies refused to continuedoing business with Aughinish, citing 'reputational damage'. Which is not a great look however you spin it.

@FischerKing64 Or, just maybe, people hold Nixon in very low regard because he failed to deliver on every key issue. Crime skyrocketed, every department grew, deficit spending was normalised, he ended the gold standard, Mao’s China was chosen over Taiwan and Watergate was genuinely disgraceful.

The direct result of boomers telling younger people that Nixon was the epitome of evil for decades, while lionizing journalists. I once had lunch with a boomer in a professional setting and made a joke that Nixon was our greatest POTUS. He stared at me like I had just advocated for child sacrifice. I said "I'm kidding." He responded in a solemn tone: "I was waiting for you to say that."

The kids are “Nixonmaxxing.” More than half a century after Watergate, conservative youth are discovering the aesthetic, and adopting the attitude, of the late Richard Nixon. on.wsj.com/4wdu6CY?mod=e2…

@johnloeber It’s such a strange development. Nixon was one of the most left-wing politicians to serve as President of America, arguably just as much as FDR. He was rude, paranoid, and incompetent on just about every issue. What’s “iconic” about him? Watergate was uniquely bad.

No idea if this is true or false, but a couple quick thoughts: 1. Nixon is anathema to polite liberals of their parents' generation; endorsing him is very rebellious 2. Nixon was a uniquely weird guy, very meme-able 3. After the chaos of the last ten years, Watergate doesn't seem so crazy anymore 4. In light of the last ten years (and specifically all the Trump-directed lawfare), some people are now wondering if Nixon was framed in Watergate. Those people are not necessarily overly political crazies. Sometimes the passage of time clarifies history, sometimes it makes more opaque. I don't know which one it is in this case. 5. Say what you will about Nixon, but he really embodied "you can just do things". He picked things that other people couldn't or wouldn't do -- and did them, all the time. Very aggressively, sometimes successfully. Highly agentic and always with a ton of conviction. I get how that's appealing in our modern time, when lots of people will try to tell you that everything's very complicated and you can't really do anything.

@nixonfoundation Which ended in resignation and disgrace after taking America off the gold standard, implementing price controls on everything, normalising deficit spending by increasing the size of every department, choosing Mao’s China over Taiwan, and covering up the break-in at the DNC.

@nixonfoundation The irony of this quote is not lost on me. The most socialist President of America since FDR denouncing socialism when he’s long gone from office. It’s thanks to Nixon that deficit spending, runaway inflation and the use of price controls became the norm, not the exception.

@Noahpinion Based on sheer brutality, it’s Kim Jong Il/Kim Jong Un, unless I’m missing something. Out of the three options, it’s only a race between two and the IRGC beats the Tatmadaw comfortably based on the fact that the Tatmadaw never massacred 40,000 people over a period two weeks.

@PunterRugby Your entire media ecosystem was begging for a pat on the back for the past few days. Come on, mate, it’s absolutely embarrassing. Just look at you. You’re getting all aggro at a journalist for merely posting the claptrap that’s been spewing out of the Kiwi talking heads.

@DoireSheridan “Ireland derangement syndrome” is hilarious considering how crap you are. The only ones whining are you Irish softcocks.

@LeinsterClub It shows how desperate New Zealand are to have something to grasp onto that they think beating a second-string Ireland team is something to celebrate. Justin Marshall, a grown-ass man, is being sent into hysterics because people are pointing out that the win is tainted.

Direct quote from article: "The match could possibly have had a different outcome had Luke Jacobson’s dangerous clearout at the ruck on 27 minutes been upgraded to a red, while Quinn Tupaea was perceived to be lucky not to get binned for a deliberate knock on."

@RugbyPass Ireland Derangement Syndrome is seemingly a very contagious disease. First, it spread like wildfire across South Africa. Now, it seems to have hit New Zealand shores. Left untreated, it leads to full-blown hysteria the moment we’re mentioned. Justin Marshall is the latest victim.

@Noahpinion I’d argue that the Young Turks should be higher. They killed 50-60% of multiple ethnic groups (Maronites, Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians) and were the architects of the first industrial-scale slaughter blueprint. The regimes of Siad Barre and Théoneste Bagosora should be listed.

If you were ranking regimes instead of individual leaders, the ranking might be something like: 1. Nazis 2. Imperial Japan 3. Khmer Rouge 4. Soviet Communist Party 5. Mao-era CCP 6. Young Turks 7. North Korea 8. DERG 9. Suharto 10. Idi Amin

@patmccarry Ireland Derangement Syndrome on full display. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again - we need to start closing ranks. The level of vitriol has been significantly increasing over the past few years. We make ourselves easy targets when we don’t demand respect from others.

@Noahpinion I’d love to know why Talaat Pasha, Mengistu Haile Mariam or Filipp Goloshchyokin aren’t on this list. All were just as evil in their intent as the men you listed, and awareness of their brutality needs to be raised. Talaat Pasha, especially, was arguably as bad as Hitler.

@Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia Ireland Derangement Syndrome on full display. Pointing out that a shoulder to the head, where the arm was pre-tucked, should have been a red card, and that slapping the ball down when there was a 2 vs 1 on the outside, should not send a grown-ass man into a fit of hysterics.

@scrumming_ten Hell must have frozen over because I’m actually agreeing with a South African for once. Also, under the new strict rules that World Rugby brought in, Farrell couldn’t discuss the decision after the match. The silencing of dissent around refereeing decisions is getting dystopian.

@P_Kallioniemi This ad is stirring up hatred against the elderly. There’s already enough ageism and discrimination against those above the age of 50 in areas such as employment, housing and healthcare. Sir, with respect, I thought you knew better than to promote this divisive propaganda.
