There is a very loud amusement park right in front of my present lodgings.

@gearoidmurphy_ *Plonk Ireland in the end at 7%*
Imagine Xi Jinping going on Chinese television one night and saying, 'I must dearly apologise to the people, the economy told me none of you will own homes!'.
The D4 class like to pretend that 'The Economy' is their personal boss
English
For the individual on median salary, or the median couple's salary (surely reasonable metrics) - can you point to a single way in which they benefit from "the economy", and aren't actively harmed by it in their lives? All the negative externalities, but what benefits? @danobrien20 @SineadOS1
Gearóid Murphy@gearoidmurphy_
"The economy moved on" Can some bright mind explain who, what or where exactly "the economy" is? Is it a force of history impervious the the will of man? A natural phenomenon like a ocean current? Is it on the table of elements or an exotic new form of matter? I know what a state is. I know nations. I know industry and technology. I know policy and finances. I know what interests are. But I don't know what a "the economy" is. It's seemingly accountable to no one but we are all its subjects and it can change or "move on" of its own accord and we can only react to its consequences.

Walking around with two phones in your hand but dressed in jeans during working hours is max aura
Literally everyone thinks I'm a drug dealer. Girls foregoing any social restraint and turning to me and staring while we wait for pedestrian crossings, more so than usual

@fosandair That's not a judgement on the validity of Marx. The statement that 'Communism is not a foreign import, but anti-Communism is' does not seem to hold water when we look the evidence.
Modern RW anticommunism is to some degree, but modern Marxism in Ireland is entirely foreign too
English
@fosandair From an objective standpoint, most anti-communism in Ireland originates from Fr. Denis Fahey/Fr. Edward Cullen/Archbishop JC McQuaid.
Coughlin, Pat Buchanan, Fulton Sheen etc. stateside
Irishmen are more responsible for the Catholic anti-communism in the West than anyone else
English
Anti-Communism is an imported foreign ideology and a mental illness.
Jack Posobiec@JackPosobiec
Irish Communists still crashing out over Kev Poso exposing what they are up to in Ireland. Maybe I’ll have to hold a proper right-wing rally there and really send them packing

coefficients.
To her credit, strictly speaking there's nothing wrong with her work, and I have no reason to believe she didn't write it herself, but it's okay to have these things as locally-funded projects rather than turning them into PhD theses.
English
Just gave her PhD thesis a cursory glance, there was definitely some leeway as regards to quality. The thesis is essentially just a survey, it contains no results section, and possibly the only Sociology PhD without the use of normative statistical measures like correlation...
Thomas O'Reilly@TOR_EuroCon
For context, traveller academic Dr Sindy Joyce earned her PhD (in part) for conducting walking tours in Galway around anti-traveller oppression.

@BardnanGael The scholarship in question is the 'Foundation Scholarship', you take a very difficult set of exams in your field during second year in TCD and if you score above 70% you get free fees and accommodation on campus for 5 years. It's realistically hugely impressive.
English
@PunishedPat1641 Getting lifted down from a roof in the bucket of a JCB loader and getting shouted at by some alcoholic foreman is not an enjoyable life.
Working in the office is class, you do like 2 hours of work and get paid full whack, free coffee, canteen. Some yoke.

I can tell when people have boring nerdy parents (they post stuff like this)
My troublemaking tradesman male lineage all raised their sons to be more polite and have easier jobs than the last because they actually experienced that life

@ColmanOfGuaire How did he manage to get itso good without the internet?
It makes me feel a cold sweat when I think that if I was kicking about in the 90s I probably would've been a centrist due to the lack of available information.
Like, you couldn't really go beyond bookshops and radio
English
Desmond Fennell wrote that most Irish "Marxists" of the 80s/90s were really just very committed Neoliberals.
Peter Donnelly@PetersReceipts
@Amergin_ Those are just shit-libs using Marxist sounding language to appear sophisticated. They have not developed any viable theory of power or economics in half a century and that is because they are part of the state itself.

I am against politics centered around dopamine addictions and symbolic key jangling. So many problems are caused because people cannot calm down, do boring work, and consistently pursue 80% of the country vs fringe elements.

Periodic reminder: farmers are not populist nor ideological. They have one issue and they don’t care about anything else. They compose 2-5% of the population. You can’t create a political movement with this constituency.

Poets are a more viable political class than farmers

@PetersReceipts that stuff costs more and they still get paid the same :/
Funnily enough I feel most of the people criticising them are in Dublin because I haven't seen anyone screeching about the fact that farmers already have green diesel (I get them impression they don't know it exists)
English
@PetersReceipts There seems to be this reddit idea that the fuel protest people and the IPAS people are all part of the same shadowy Russian cabal.
Most of the fuel protest people are farmers/truckers/tradesmen of one variety, more of a 2010s water protest type flavour. People are just pissed..
English
Imagine being this mental and disconnected from the impact of fuel taxation on the real economy and people's livelihoods that you think truck drivers are being radicalised to protest by Joe Rogan.
Dan the “Shadow Tanker Bonker”@realLangerDan
Truck drivers are a natural recruitment target of the far-right. All those hours spent on the roads. Isolation and nothing but contrarian podcasts to listen to. Of course the far-right are all over these protests. They’re actively trying to recruit.
English
@LastGael I wouldn't be too sure man, the way I see it, this isn't a discission by 'The Irish Government', it's decision by people that are unfortunately far more competent and the government are simply the middle men.
I suspect it's going to be more suave than what we're seeing now
English
There are a plethora of reasons why this is a bad idea, but the good news is, especially if the HSE app is anything to go by, I doubt they'll have the competence/ability to build the thing properly.

@timotheeology Dinesh would much rather the civilisation that produced the Talmud, Freemasonry & Communism :/
English
The civilization who "will die tonight" supports this?
Dinesh D'Souza@DineshDSouza
A little frightening. But also exhilarating. It is important to recognize the people of Iran, cowering under the tyranny of the mullahs for half a century, support this. It is that twisted, brutish “civilization” that is imperiled, not the great civilization of ancient Persia.

The Easter rising of 1916 was done by communists and socialists, the southern part of Ireland is only free because of communist and socialist
J.K. Lunden@Jklunden
She couldn't say Saint Patrick and she couldn't say Easter. Communism = Anti Christian

@CathalMcGrgr nominally this seems to be for marketing, but I'm suspicious as to whether it's intended it remain for marketing.
I'm shocked how specific the stuff I see that gets recommended, someone is pouring a lot of resource into this
English
@CathalMcGrgr I can help but feel this is in someway related to the railroading of Digital ID globally. It always used to be the collected basic info about consumers for marketing.
Since recent, it's obvious they have a sophisticated profile of everyone based on their full internet usage...
