Ireland as always being one of the only semi-redeemable western nations.
They’re Irish, you can always count on people who had enough metal that they nearly assassinated that demon Thatcher to be based
wonder what the timeline looks like where the IRA got lucky
Likely a damn sight better than this one. The damage that shitbag did is still being felt today, and it will continue for decades yet, at best.
I honestly wanted IRA to have a nuke and destroy whole Britain in one go. Like ruin it to dust, like this fucking island of absolute rot, transphobia, and pedophila like bomb this place. There are certain places that can’t ever be saved, America and Britain being amoung them. Like Spain to an extent be saved by extensive forced labour and reeducation but Britain and America can’t saved, we will have to bomb these places out of existence.
Nice, 🍻 to the people who made this happen.
I couldn’t make it through that interview with the former Google employee, though. A few minor fact checks from before I stopped reading:
I don’t know if you know this, Mike, but the word “boycott” was actually coined in Ireland. Boycott was an individual, an Irish person, and that person actually got boycotted.
Almost correct, except the part about Charles Boycott being an Irish person. (He was unsurprisingly actually English.)
I worked for Google. I worked for Google at a time when… I don’t think they were as evil as they are now. And I worked for Google at a time when they did not use their technology for warfare or for governments. I really enjoyed my time at Google. And I am personally heartbroken at the path that they have taken, and I fully support the boycott of Google in order to support the Palestinian people.
I wonder when it was that this person thinks Google “did not use their technology for warfare or for governments”. I guess they probably think Google only turned evil in 2018, when Project Maven started getting more press? Anyway, such a time never existed; the project which became Google was created by and for US intelligence. https://medium.com/insurge-intelligence/how-the-cia-made-google-e836451a959e
And it’s sickening to think that an organization like Anthropic can come in here, be given tax breaks, being given great publicity, and yet go on to commit the murder of over 160 schoolgirls in Minab, in Iran, but the Irish government says, “Welcome, Anthropic.”
Fuck Anthropic for (among other things) their Department of War contracts, but them taking the blame for the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School massacre is some bullshit: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2026/mar/26/ai-got-the-blame-for-the-iran-school-bombing-the-truth-is-far-more-worrying
If you really want to get into it pretty much every major tech company was funded by inqtel who forced the companies to put a back door in for them.
If you want to go further you can male the argument that the us military handed over GPS, ans the intranet to the people in order to create the survalience technology.
And it was 9/11 that ushered in the legal privatized survalience apparatus that we fight everyday. And the system lables us as a terrorist that warrents all the illegal spying they’re doing on us.
Sad this is we don’t even need fancy spying. CIA, FBI, anyone can just buy all the data that would be illegal for the goverment to collect. But its not illegal when corporations do it, abd for some reason its not illegal for the goverment to buy that data.
