WHAT’S WRONG WITH IRELAND?

—“David Robles Hey Curt, what can you tell us about IRELAND? Also I love propertar-ianism have read so much about it could you add me?”—

Added.

Depends on what context you’re asking about.

I dunno what P can tell us but I think the discussion on Ireland has been going on for more than two centuries, and irish were discussed in the same terms as we cast subsaharan africans – and there is no mystery there. It was a third world country not that long ago. And having other people to blame for their condition just gives them an excuse for doing nothing. (Note that I hired irish on purpose ’cause it’s fixable outside of the home environment.)

WHAT’S WRONG?

(a) don’t run your population up to 14ppl for acre on the only crop that can support that many

(b) don’t lose your upper classes to emigration. Ergo, dunno what real IQ is but it has been substantially lower than the european average for a very long time.Ireland went over the cliff (97) which is where the USA is today. 95 is a hard cliff. Ireland is below it.

(c ) mandate monogamy rather than serial marriage as early in your development as possible. Irish maintained serial marriage until the 1800s.

(d) neuter the church expand literacy as early as possible

(e) ruthlessly prosecute virtue-signalers, and corruption no matter how useful it is to you or your family.

(f) don’t get dependent on handouts from the EU

(g) if you’re a small country you have limited choices and that’s to imitate either Switzerland (money) or Germany (quality) our tourism (cleanliness, service, discipline). Who does ireland imitate? India. Yep. India. “It’s not my responsibility but its my right to complain”

(h) countries with nothing going for them try to be different from their neighbors by out-virtue-signaling rather than out-competing (Ireland vs Britain, Canada vs USA, everyone vs Germany). Ireland should be imitating Germany Switzerland and England not trying to be different – that must means losing even more than they’ve been losing. Man up, work, compete.

(i) petty criminality is ‘acceptable’ behavior (‘knicking’ stuff) instead of ruthlessly punished. You know what the broken window strategy is? Well, Ireland needs it.

(j) talk about freedom an such but they sure act like they need a freaking brutal dictator to discipline into working and competing for a living.

(g) Don’t blame others for failing anything above this list. It’s the man in the mirror.

(h) oh, well the wind is a pain in the ass. I agree…. 😉

Same sh–t I say all the time in ukraine: “man up, gear up, and go punish laziness, free riding, virtue signaling, and corruption until there is no one else to beat the p–ss out of, because students, mothers, workers, clerks, mangers, bankers, police, judges, bureaucrats, and politicians are terrified that they’ll be taken to court of the people with a noose if they do.”

Politicians don’t solve problems.

The people do.

By intolerance.

Summary by a blogger from a few years ago:

—“Ireland is no longer a country. It has no soul, no truth, no justice, no equality, no decorum, no morals, no code, no honour, no creed. It is a perverse, twisted and sinister land where right is wrong and wrong is right. The courts are packed to the rafters with criminal trials and civil law suits, while white-collar criminals walk free and the small debt defaulter gets a prison cell.

It is a wild land where rules go flying out the window at a moment’s notice. Elections mean nothing whether people want them or not and are nothing but a next-in-line party system irrespective of suitability. The old guard are there while the system rots and rots from bureaucracy, inertia and rhetoric.

Parties claiming they can do a better job in trying to oust the other, but only hiding behind prepared departmental rhetoric and defending what should be prosecuted when in government. A land where the terrorist, bomber, murderer, or recidivist gets early release and victims get kicked in the teeth for their trouble and forgotten about quickly. Laws are lax or unenforced and nothing but a book of politics and convenience to set the guilty free.

Our people have being enslaved by a sick and supine system of government and Church, under a corrupt waiting-list system, which has done more to divide people than unite them.

It is a disgraceful country where government abrogates its responsibilities and careerist politicians laugh at the electorate when they collect their enormous undeserved pensions and perks.

A society which does not give a damn and chronically indifferent and self-serving in the extreme. An abode where mé féiners will kick you when you are down and begrudge you when you are up. A culture of fear, repression, ignorance, jealousy and one-upmanship.

It is a regime of incessant work for the connected, cronied and nepotised who ironically have no life and no disposable income who end up marooned under a mountain of debt for their life’s toil – while thousands are hidden on ineffective job initiatives.

An expensive country where money management is impossible and taxes are progressive.

This country is a load of trouble from beginning to its failed revolutionary end and will end up at the bottom of the bottomless pit.

There is nothing in Ireland for people only a load of trouble”—
