Are you a sperg?
No, he's not. They can't help being annoying. Novi does it on purpose.
we are powerless to change this
That's not true at all. Thanks to the properly designed Single Transferable Vote system of Proportional Representation in Ireland, when we're not happy, we have far more power than Americans to vote out those we don't want and vote in those we do. There's a general election next year in Ireland next year and already the government is changing its tune about migrants but at this stage it's too late to regain ground and they'll be out.
Now, while I'm here I'll take the chance to mention the Irish women who tried to escape from their indentured servitude in Montserrat and were sentenced to 39 lashes apiece on their bare backs. I'm sure Poloniusz would have been happy to administer the lashes, combining his hatred of women and the Irish in one neat package.
Or how about John Scott, an English adventurer who travelled in the West Indies during the Commonwealth, who saw Irish servants working in field gangs with slaves, 'without stockings under the scorching sun'. The Irish, he wrote, were "derided by the n@groes, and branded with the epithet of 'white slaves'"
Speaking of branding, Irish who attempted to escape from their servitude and were caught didn't only get the lash, but were frequently branded with FT. on their foreheads - Fugitive Traitor.
And we mustn't forget that it was the Anglo-Irish Marquess of Sligo, who on arriving in Jamaica as Governor, proceeded to free the slaves and set up schools for them. The first free village of Sligoville in Saint Catherine parish, Jamaica is named after hiim.
Now let's start a thread to talk about serfdom in Poland over the centuries. Imagine to think that whole villages of serfs were sold as a job lot to their new masters. Shocking stuff.
