Brickbat: Stoking Eire

In Ireland, Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan recently warned against flying the Irish flag as a means of intimidating migrants or "to suggest that this is exclusively an areas that belongs to indigenous Irish people." At the same time, the Dublin City Council is seeking help from the national police after complaints about flying the flag in public spaces.

Has there been any scholarly research about why Western Europe has a death wish?

[Mickey Rat]

You can look into Thomas Sowell and Douglas Murray.

Homicide rates in most of Western Europe are a small fraction of what they are in the US. It isn't Western Europe that has the death wish.

Ireland has a rich history of not standing up to the antisemites.

[charliehall]

Actually Ireland has had almost no history of anti-Semitism. Its one "pogrom" cost the lives of zero Jews.

A further sign that the governing class hates the indigenous population of their countries and would rather ignore the problems of having to integrate immigrants from cultures with wildly divergent mores from the native population.

The only Irish that seem to support that cuck view are Patrick Fitzmichael and Michael Fitzpatrick.

[SQRLSY]

Well, there's also Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick. Butt shit is nothing to go into fitz about; shit all fitz together rather swell!

The Germans have their ways ass well... Twat we call "Vaseline", they call "Veiner-Schlider"!

A Irishman man walks into a bar early in the afternoon in Cork and sits down next to another patron, who is quite drunk already.
“Me friend, look alive. Let me get you a pint. What are you having?” asks the first.
“Argh, Guinness if you please” says the other man.
“Ahh, Guinness, me favorite! Barman, bring us two Guinnesses!” says the first man.

The two men have their pints, and the first asks the other, “So where are ye from, me friend?”
The second replies “Why I’m from Clonakilty”.
“Clonakilty? That’s where I’m from! Barman, more Guineness!”.

Now the two have a grand old time, and are getting down to some serious day drinking. The first man then asks the second “So now tell me, where did you attend college?”.
“Why, St Francis Reformatory” replies the second.
“St Fran’s, that’s where I went my boy!” yells the first, “Barman! This calls for whiskey, bring us our Powers!”.

The boys are really starting to get steamed, having a great time. One of the other patrons at the bar asks the bartender, “What’s up with these two?”.

The bartender says “Ah, the O’ Malley twins are just getting drunk again”

Ireland has almost no government run public k-12 schools. They are almost all run by religious groups, and generously funded by the government. 88% of the schools are Catholic. There are a number of Protestant schools, a few Muslim schools, and one Jewish school. Libertarian heaven.

…and generously funded by the government.

NOT libertarian.
