@GlenSmith174927 @MichaelAArouet But you have to factor in the fact that Poland has the highest mortgage interest rate in the EU. It's why so many Poles who had taken CHF mortgages got burned once the zloty crashed against the CHF.

@MichaelAArouet A boom caused by money printing. How much does ten polish zzloties buy today compared to 20 yrs ago...20 yrs of mass devaluation making nay one who bought polish property with debt very wealthy.

It always makes me laugh when I read some far-right folks claiming that Poland's economic boom happened because Poland didn’t take immigrants. It did, but contrary to Western Europe, immigrants in Poland work and are not on welfare. BTW, it was the PiS party who let them in.

@EricBlair820643 @OffgridIreland Then what? If we leave 🇪🇺's single mkt & customs union, our economy will collapse as all the US multinationals will leave. We'd have no choice but to abandon the €, rejoin the £stg area & become a satellite state of the UK once again since the IR£ was never a floating currency.

We were forced to join the EU! They refused to take our NO vote in Lisbon 1 and the people grew tired of having to go to the polling stations and that is how Lisbon 2 got in. We could rescind Lisbon 2. They even advised Bertie Ahern not to tell the Irish people and in fairness to him, he said No! The Irish people must have a referendum. We should just walk away from the corrupt EU!

The EU is being divorced from the US and geopolitical realism explains why. America’s core national interest has always been preventing a peer competitor in Eurasia. For decades Washington used NATO and liberal hegemony to keep Europe docile and Russia contained. But China’s rise changed the game. The US is now pivoting hard to Asia, and it no longer needs or wants to subsidize Europe’s security at the expense of its own survival. Europe’s leaders still cling to the old transatlantic fantasy. They let Washington drag them into provoking Russia, paid the catastrophic energy price, and now watch their industrial base hollow out while the US focuses on Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific. Alliances are not marriages of love; they are marriages of convenience. When the convenience ends, so does the alliance this is not betrayal it is power politics 101. The EU must finally accept that it is on its own build a serious military, strike your own energy deals, and stop outsourcing your foreign policy to a declining hegemon that has already moved on. Otherwise Europe will be left weak, divided, and strategically irrelevant in the new great-power competition.

@PetersReceipts Around 38% of the workforce who are on low to medium incomes pay no income tax at all. So far from those immigrants "contributing" to our economy, they were attracted to Ireland precisely because they don't have to pay much tax as employees. With remittances, they're a huge drain

It gets even worse when you factor in the fact that someone on a low income is effectively a tax burden up until a certain threshold. Outside of the tech sector, the incomes in hospitality, agriculture, retail etc are artificially low relative to the lucrative parts of the economy and civil service etc. The state is pursuing an economic model that demands a race to the bottom in these sectors whilst costs rise yearly. A young Irish person not able to find a professional career or government job can choose from two options: 1. be homeless and a working slave 2. dole max or emigrate. Immigration is used to shore this economic model up. The young people who decide to leave are replaced by kebab shop operatives and deliveroo drivers living in sublets and availing of chain migration. Those who protest their disenfranchisement by the structures of the state are derided as racists by Derek and equated with terrorists. The demographics of Ireland are directly correlated to the form of economic globalisation that has been pursued since the 1990s. Convincing the older generation and bloated managerial class who did well from this arrangement that they aren't actually economic geniuses and are wrecking our society has not worked out so far.

@TOR_EuroCon As confirmed by the migration study conducted by Dr de Beek for the Univ. of Amsterdam, the immigrants who make a net positive financial contribution to NL are the very ones most likely to leave; they have sought-after skills. Third-world imm: the reverse. gript.ie/the-cost-of-im…

Import of Indian tech workers by Ireland akin to Wallonian mines importing Moroccans in 70s. Moribund industrial models dictating migration policy that will have lasting social impact. Dublin new builds being hoovered up by Indians with outlandish 3 person mortgages etc

@corkyback @JamieBrysonLLB Unionists wouldn't have been seen dead at a St P's Day event 40 yrs ago.But they were quick to piggyback off 🇮🇪 diplomacy during the Clinton admin to gain access to the WH & Cap. Hill; an access that unionists would never have been capable of achieving on their own (v bad at PR!)

@JamieBrysonLLB Reality unionist have no culture as clearly see in St Patricks weekend in Washington FC but pretending what is Irish is theirs. What they have is pretnce they are Brits

What is gone is two decades of nationalist supremacism with unionism being passive victims in their cultural war. They’re getting a bit back, and they don’t like it one bit.

Different races have different genetic traits (skin color being the smallest among them) White Europeans are the most threatening to the controllers of our world, as they carry a potent combination of high IQ (on par with Asians) and an extremely high revolutionary spirit/drive for freedom. Individual sovereignty and the passion to fight to the death for it are deeply engrained into European DNA, and for this reason, every time White people realize they're getting fucked over, UNIFY, and rage against the machine, historically, they DESTROY the tyrannical regimes enslaving them. Every single time. This is why ✡️ know they must take advanced steps to destabilize, weaken, and ultimately exterminate White people and countries first and foremost if they wish to complete their path of total world control. (Asians are next on (((their))) list, since as mentioned earlier, they also have very high IQ, and are second in terms of revolutionary spirit thanks to their high connection to honor and heritage. This is why you will soon start seeing the mainstream airwaves flooded with headlines saying "Japan needs more diversity! They need to import infinity Africans and Indians, or they are being bigoted ASIAN SUPREMACISTS!!". It will be the exact same playbook) But I digress... As we've all seen, (((their))) preferred method to destroy Whites' ability to stand up for themselves and retaliate against the globalist agenda is to flood their countries with as many third-world, low-IQ, low impulse-control migrants as possible, in order to: 1) Sow maximum chaos, which will establish a foundational "problem" so they can implement their "solution" (mass surveillance, which of course they'll claim is "for your safety", but will actually just be an additional weapon used to target and suppress whites - just look at the two-tiered policing in UK) 2) Trap Whites into a matrix of constant fear, uncertainty, tax-extortion and wage slavery, which will reduce their ability to build relationships and have children 3) Drain Whites' financial power even further by setting up the political fiscal policy so THEY are the ones paying for their own replacement via importation of millions of migrants into their backyard 4) As a bonus, the migrants will simply rape, stab, shoot, and kill many of the Whites themselves, as the media has already indoctrinated them into believing White people are EVIL and the cause of all of their problems 5) To top all of this off, the Jewish Hollywood/Media machine pushes a TON of propaganda onto White Europeans to abandon their race and marry interracially ("You don't want a White girl, marry a Latina or Asian instead!"), subliminally convincing them to throw away thousands of years of ancestral consistency to walk straight into the globalist plan of an entire world of homogenous, mixed-race brown soup. So...Is the constant, out-of-control mass-immigration being pushed into exclusively White countries, in combination with the relentless media messaging that wHiTe sUpReMaCy is the problem, starting to make sense now? (((They))) want the entire western world to become South Africa. I'm talking to you, my European brothers and sisters: They want your wallet empty, your kids brown, and your genetics wiped from the earth forever. Sadly, this replacement-migration operation has been catastrophically effective. In the last century, the White population of the world has been decimated from 30% to now less than 8% (i.e. imminent extinction if DRASTIC changes aren't made very quickly.) So yes, I am angry, and I do care. I don't want my people to go extinct (and trust me, if you want to see a brighter future for your kids and grandkids, YOU DO TOO, no matter what race you are. Feel free to go to Delhi or Somalia and tell me if you'd like that to be the future of your hometown) #KalergiPlan #Immigration #MassImmigration #WhiteCulture #WhitePride #Diversity #RaceRealism #Nationalism

@infinitehorus Pearson's frame of reference is good minorities v bad minorities; it's NOT what's good for the indigenous 🇬🇧 people (the majority). She worships Jews because she instinctively views them as a high-status & high-IQ minority group with a prestigious victim narrative (the holocaust)

I only just read this article. She actually singles out Judith Kerr, author of The Tiger Who Came To Tea, as a reason why it's good to have Jews in Britain. Have you read that or seen the TV version? It's a parable. It says: let complete strangers into your home without question, give them everything they demand and thank them for doing so. It's one of the most acutely subversive, anti-white things I've ever seen. Amazingly evil. It's hard to imagine the mind of someone who would create such poison. Pearson wants British children to welcome every pervert and murderer the third world discharges from its prisons and slums. What a traitor.

@danobrien20 Our gini coefficient is now even lower than notoriously egalitarian Sweden & Denmark. This impressive achievement was aided by our highly progressive tax system (probably too progressive), very educated workforce (aids upward mobility) & distributive policy to poorer regions.

Another panellist claimed Ireland was more unequal than other countries, which is totally untrue, whether by wealth or income. In fact, Ireland is one of the most equal countries in the world.

@DMah21874 @XXXAstroAlXXX @Muinchille I hope they won't be here actually. But even if some of them leave (all of them won't), we'll still have an increase in our working age population over the next decade due to our Celtic Tiger baby-boomers reaching adulthood (a record 77,000 live births in 2010).

@thomas_eilveis @XXXAstroAlXXX @Muinchille Per capita is a Latin term meaning "by head" or "for each person," used to calculate the average per-person amount of a metric within a population. Do you really think the new additions to our population will be here when the money stops rolling in and the free stuff stops?

They could "run" the country on half this budget, and when they did, as long ago as 2019, it was a much better run country.

@danobrien20 We're fortunate in Ireland that we now have a good road network, given that around ½ the population of the country lives within an hour's drive of the M50 (facilitates commuting to richest region). Unlike the UK,our poorest regions only comprise a small % of our total population

Cities generate most wealth in developed, services-driven economies. That's a simple fact. Great piece on people feeling obliged to apologise for speaking the truth. independent.ie/business/donal…

@parasmunt1 @KeithMillsD7 Sadly the curse of being a wealthy country; we become a magnet for the huge biomass of the diseased, corrupt & dysfunctional third-world. But our failure to formulate a highly restrictive immigration policy from the late 1990s is on us; sadly we are a people-pleasing people.

@thomas_eilveis @KeithMillsD7 Who has benefited? Your parents could buy a nice home on 1 salary. They didn't have to worry about being stabbed by a Somali walking home from a disco either.

If the Irish government had our interests at heart, it would veto Iceland joining until we too got a special deal on fishing.

@Muinchille Typical English: her frame of reference for understanding St Patrick's Day is still stuck in the 19th century. St P's Day is celebrated more than George's Day because it became associated with a successful nationalism (🇮🇪), unlike 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 nationalism (no 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 state/nationality/passport)

Unintentionally hilarious. The English did have an English patron Saint, St Edmund, who was an East Amglian king who refused to kneel to the Viking gods and was tortured to death. The Normans replaced him with the Syrian St George. So much more respectable on the continent. 😀

Both illegal and legal immigration did not happen by accident -- that much the influencers at X understand. But everyone is still scrambling for an answer. My article linked below finally offers an explanation: The large-scale demographic replacement of White populations across the West is ultimately driven by the self-reinforcing fusion of two logics: (1) liberal progressivism with its universalist commitment to diversity and the moral delegitimization of ethnic European particularism; and (2) post-Fordist capitalism’s demand for flexible, cheap, and compliant labor, creating a system that optimizes for short-to-medium-term economic efficiency and consumer expansion at the expense of the long-term civilizational survival and creativity of European peoples.

@ofaolainC @KeithMillsD7 The Irish government is right. It's simply not worth extending political capital for a measly €600m in seafood exports.

@KeithMillsD7 The Irish government considers fishing to be peripheral to our interests, at best, and not something worth spending political capital on addressing within Europe.

@BlaineLyne @danobrien20 Roughly yes.

@thomas_eilveis @danobrien20 7.4m today?

This analysis finds that Ireland's population crash (from the Great Famine) to 1961 was the second largest in human history anywhere in the world over the past 2,000 years. Post-Columbian contact Peru to 1600 was slightly larger.

It's 1911. The jews are gathered in Basel, Switzerland, for their 10th Worldwide Zionist Congress. They conspire to form a jewish state. Nordau, the speaker, kvetches about jewish expulsions from England, France, Germany, Spain. He describes them "tolerable" because Europeans were "merciful." It is worth noting, however, that tolerance is NOT a Christian virtue❗️❗️❗️ (Read that sentence again.) But somehow he knows 𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙙𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 the precise number of dead jews during — pay close attention — a future war. A war that will start in 1939. And what number is that? 𝟔 𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙤𝙣... Wait, wait, the same 𝟔 𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙤𝙣 as perished during the 'Holocaust' of WW2. Hmm... 🤔 Very strange. Follow @Classicist9999: I "promise" tomorrow will be a different number.🤷‍♂️

@MercianSaxon @HackBlackburn You misunderstood. There is no 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿,🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 or 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 nationality because there is no 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿,🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 or🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 state. Hence no 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿,🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 or 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 passport, whereas there is a 🇮🇪 & 🇭🇺 state and a 🇮🇪 & 🇭🇺 passport. St George's Day is celebrated less than St Patrick's Day because there is no 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 nation state today.

@thomas_eilveis @HackBlackburn With respect I disagree. There most certainly is such a thing as English, Scottish and Welsh nationality. All beautiful countries and fine people. I used to help organise Birmingham St George's day. We had concerts in Symphony Hall and outside festivals in Birmingham's squares.

Why is St Andrew’s Day never filled with tedious people going “He was Galilean actually”?
