I love the Dropkick Murphys because "Irish-American" + "gen X" + "punk rocker who's been at it for 30 years" should be the formula for the most racist guy alive but instead Ken Casey is constantly giving interviews where he's like "fascists are demons from hell and that's where they belong"

This is legitimately insane.
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

Why were Irish workers considered lazy in 1847? Yep, too much free food.
Meanwhile, development in Irish fisheries was delayed by London investors concerned by the laziness of Irish workers.

"In Ireland there is plenty of the finest fish, but the people are too idle to work, and too ill-disposed to allow others to work.

I've lived in some houses that have been converted into multiple flats and I cant stress how dysfunctional and uncomfortable they are. Forgetting issues like space and privacy, you don't just double or triple the strain on a building's water, sewerage and energy needs without issues. #spéirgorm

A great time to remind everyone that the largest landlord in the Gaeltacht is now a British company letting Airbnbs.
Watch now they'll call me an elitist for bringing up that lucht na Gaeltachta are often at a severe disadvantage in terms of housing and opportunity and they don't get much support outside of their own community

Our language was rooted out of our country by our colonisers in a specific effort to LITERALLY make us less Irish and more like them instead.
If YOU feel less Irish take it up with THEM!!! Not the people reviving it!!

Housing should be free and we should be, at minimum, compensated for commutes to and from work.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
