They already Community Noted her - Clare Daly is a highly controversial Irish politician who was accused of nepotism, support for dictators like Putin and Assad, causing divide in European parliamentary left, and arguably doesn't represent not just dead Irish ancestors but also majority of living Irish.
Be Ireland
Not in NATO
Not in the Fourteen eyes so privacy actually is a thing.
Is more of an imperial periphery country and therefore has little to no enemies.
Just minds its own fucking business.
Pro-Palestine
Easily the best western country.
forgot about me?
not western, nor imperial core
Explain by what logic Cuba would be considered not Western but Ireland would be considered Western?
They aren't considered to be in the western 'bloc', which would also include South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, etc. It's definitely an outdated and inaccurate term, we should just call them losers.
The same logic that excludes the Balkans and Russia from being Western.
Russia is north to me
The thing that excludes the balkans and Russia from being western is that they aren't in the western hemisphere.
Something notably distinct from Cuba.
Is Australia in the western hemisphere?
No but I wouldn't argue they're eastern for the same reason that America and england are.
They're incredibly isolated and don't really have any cultural neighbors other than New Zealand which is right on the border of the hemispheres while Cuba is literally within sight of America and surrounded by other western countries with similar culture and practically dead center in the western hemisphere.
I get the point it's a stand in for "imperial core" and "everybody else" but saying they're western for the same reason that countries that are actually in the western hemisphere is a really dumb argument.
You don't seem to understand "western" is just a colloquialism for Americanism and Pan-Europeanism, geography plays only the most superficial of roles in the historical distribution of these cultures, imperialism tends to do funny things with geography
Also, in what possible way is Cuba culturally similar to the United States, and how is Australia culturally isolated from the rest of the Anglosphere? It's the fact it's populated by anglos that makes it a western country, not it's positional coordinates on a giant sphere
Poland overlaps the same longitudes as, say, Serbia, so this isn't really a full explanation. But the fact that former Yugoslavia is still isolated and othered from Western Europe means it's culturally and politically distinct. Cuba, while politically distinct from surrounding countries, is culturally very close to other Caribbean countries. So it's kind of a mixed bag, but I still think reasonably the only way to categorize Cuba is as a Western country despite the political difference.
most of europe isn't in the western hemisphere???
ireland being in the european union imo
Thank you - this is the only answer that actually makes sense to me lol
What makes a country Western? I would've thought the fact that they're so geographically close to other countries that are no doubt Western countries, and have a similar history as a former Spanish colony, have a majority Christian population, etc would count to make them a Western country. Obviously they have a very different mode of social organization to every other Western country, but if we're trying to find the best Western country and we exclude all the good ones what's the point?
Westernism has less to do with geography and more to do with ideology and fanatical adherence to white supremacist-coded capitalism
Otherwise, the phrase "Australia is a western country" wouldn't seem so normal despite its geographical ludicrousness
no we just had this one, you have to wait longer to have a struggle session on the same topic again.
it's my turn on the struggle sesh!
i gotta add butcher biden to my biden nickname tier list that is A tier for sure
Genocide Joe is S tier tho
You ain't Irish, Jack
I'm a republican
(What is it with the US and bastardizing political labels?)
like having Loyalty Day on May 1 and "Labor" Day in September, anything that makes it harder to be an internationalist
It's called memorial day, actually. Memorial to oppression of course
Memorial Day is at the end of May, it's different than the fake Labor Day in September and focused on chumps who died for empire
Oh wow I completely switched them. They're totally different you see
She's been great forever. Redditors hate her because of her accurate Ukraine takes.
I wish Irish-Americans were even half as based as the residents of the country they pretend so hard to represent.
Usually if someone says they're Irish in America, it means they're just an alcoholic.
Come out you Biden dems c'mon and climb on out your fens
Tell Doc Jill how you been fightin' Trumpy MAGAs
And not how the US aid mostly been those bombs away
Killing children up and down inside of Gaza
😠
best bit account on the site
That goes hard.
Hopefully this is the last thing Biden sees before he strokes out
#ButcherBiden #ButcherBiBi
It'd be pretty cool if we could get these trending and stay there until they stop.
I read Israel as Ireland at first but everything else seemed pro-Palestine (and Ireland) after that and was really really confused until I found my error
I love Ireland, I love love love love love love love Ireland.
But, I wish they were capable of pronouncing 'th' correctly.
Labiodental fricatives are bourgeois decadence
edit: how did no one call me out on saying labiodental instead of dental thus allowing me to leave this mistake up for three days. I'm so fucking embarassed
i can fix them.
Saw a great reply to someone else posting this that said something like "Clare Daly is no friend to muslims, she denies the Uyghur genocide and the Assad gas attacks."
Whew laddie
