Ireland; a colony once again

[fluffybiscuits]

Actually, I have been an involuntary emigrant most of my adult life

If you read the book - or even these posts - you will see I am not in the slightest bit racist

What I insist is that the state's attack on irish ethnicity will NOT go unanswered

Sour grapes?

A rant about Bono, what has that to do with the price of turnips?



I always favoured an international approach. My post on open borders is an example of my position but a globalised world with some self autonomy and smashed open borders would create the perfect world. All these notions of culture (what is Irish culture? gombeenism, messed up banks and GAA with a dash Bono). You are right we do have an onus to determine our self destiny but we should also just let humanity do it! A Republican movement here needs to reform and throw out some of the wizzened old faces that pollute it and give Mary Loo less air time and they may have some vote getters then ....

There you are. By accepting the inevitability of globalisation, you dilute your desire for Irish sovereignty. This is what I am warning about. Globalisation is a neo-liberal concept designed to destroy culture, social solidarity, the concept of self determination and make us all robots. In a globalized world, where we accept its inevitability there can be no self autonomy at all. Castro got one thing right-we should wait patiently for globalization to collapse, but we should also have a plan for ourselves first and foremost when it does. Your ideals on very open borders I welcome to an extent, but we should not lose track that each country must look after its own people, Irish and immigrant citizens resident within Ireland, before others.

Have you also seen the shops along Talbot St? The new foods and beers?

The Polish film festival in the IFI?

Do we stop at the Polish ? How about Afro Celt Sound system? How about the Nigerians?

I think your insular little world just had its walls shuddered....

Afro-celt SS is fronted by Iarla and is gone dormant

No sign of any of those Polish-Irish films; you mean that we now assimilate Polanski?

<ModCF>....and none of these itmes are picking up ANY international mo

Tho it would be good to see why the Irish state is subsidizing this and stealing from their own.........

Once again; unless self-published, authors hand over their ms and have no control afterward; the situation here. If self-published,, they are liable to get vanity press slagging

Irish men, like men everywhere who are not gay, like women

Afro-Celts took a hiatus while Iarla recorded "seacht" (means 7)
