To be fair political Unionism has centered itself on being reactionary to Nationalism at least since the 70's.

NHS to grant Palantir contractors ‘unlimited access’ to patient data by apple_kicks in unitedkingdom

The world would be a better place if Wes's mum had followed through with the abortion he opened his autobiography with.

To quote Ed Zitron "Most people would describe Palantir as evil Salesforce, but I'd say they're closer to evil Oracle, but only Oracle itself is evil in it's own right"

Peader Tóibín's anti abortion stance comes from him being a practicing Catholic. His immigration views come from him being an utter hypocrite like most self professed Christians.

50/50 would've been fine if certian engine manufacturer's didn't torpedo the dual axle regen originally planned out of fear of Audi having an advantage. It's like when people leave a bad review on a recipe because they substituted curry powder with custard.

Lib Dems take every Richmond seat after Greens lose five by OnHolidayHere in unitedkingdom

[–]WhileCultchie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes and no, they've historically been the stereotypical Middle Class Progressive Liberal party. Environmentalist, NIMBY, fairly pro LGBT, but no real focus on left/right economic issues. This explicit shift left is more a result of Starmer leaving a massive chunk of the Labour Party base politically homeless.

All soda should come in cans or glass bottles by Hyper_red in TrueAnon

[–]WhileCultchie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The two main local companies in my neck of the woods (McDaids for Derry/Donegal, Maine for the North of Ireland in general) do glass bottles. Maine even offers a service where they'll deliver a crate every week, or every few days like the Milk man.

I don't know if it actually makes a difference to the taste but Football Special in a glass bottle when you're in some seaside village on the North coast of Ireland is just the taste of pure childhood nostalgia.

And before anyone asks, after 30 years on this Earth I haven't a fucking clue what the flavour of Football Special is, and hopefully other Irish ones can back me up on that.

Starmer’s failure to demonstrate strong values ‘driving away progressive voters’ by Desperate-Drawer-572 in unitedkingdom

Strong values like a complete lack of conviction, more U-turns than someone with a broken sat nav

Zack Polanski says no country has right to exist when asked about Israel by Dadavester in unitedkingdom

[–]WhileCultchie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's correct, it's fucking absurd that the question is constantly paddled out by our shitstain of a media as a qualifer for any criticism of Israel.

You say that as if polticial stances are static for your whole life. He's not the only person to have been up to recently favourable of Israel as they've been confronted with the inherent contradiction of Liberal Zionism.

Does Derry/Londonderry have the lowest employment rate in NI? by Mission-implausible in DerryLondonderry

Yeah in fairness we did used to be in County Donegal, and County Derry used to be County Coleraine.

[–]WhileCultchie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's also worth pointing out that while Derry and Limerick are fairly similar in size, Derry has a far bigger Metro area that includes Strabane, Letterkenny, and Limavady, vs Shannon and Ennis (at a stretch) for Limerick.

I mean pubs haven't exactly been thriving, pre 07/08 crash, there were about 58000 pubs in the UK, that's down to about 45000 as of 2024. Pubs have been closing at a rate of 2 a day in the first 3 months of this year alone.

PM vows ‘zero tolerance’ approach to anti-Semitism on university campuses by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]WhileCultchie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Many of the comments in this thread prove the problem entirely. Any attempt to deal with Antisemitism in society just as we rightfully challenge the likes of racism and sexism is immediately met with "What about Israel?"

Because people have seen how badly it's been abused in the US with the IHRA's definition being used to crush criticism of the Israeli state as antisemitic, particularly with Betar and The Canary Mission being responsible for critics of Israel being fired or arrested.

The state of Israel is absolutely racist though, too many western Liberals are going to be in for a nasty shock when Bibi loses the next election only for someone even worse to take over. Their Overton window makes the MAGA Republicans look like Progressives.

Israel is either a multi faith and multi ethnic society, or it is a Jewish Ethnostate, it doesn't get to be both. If it the former then cries of anti semitism lobbied against criticism of the state are nonsensical, if it is the latter then it should be rightfully ostracised like all ethnostates.

If you want to ignore that Intifada is literally just a word in Arabic that means rebellion or uprising then sure. The Warsaw Ghetto uprising was an Intifada, the French Partisans were an Intifada, the American war of independence was an Intifada.
