    Maybe they’ll finally build more public housing. Everybody I know there lives cramped in a tiny room that costs 1000 euros a month.

    They could tax all the multinational who have their headquarters there. Especially since brexit.

        i mean i was in bulgaria last time. President had no real power either but he had the symbolic power of calling out corruption of the prime minister. People took the street to defend him.

    • my sister in law is is being evicted because her landlord is selling the place, its not even central Dublin (like 40 mins on the bus), but the cheapest shit they can find is €2000+ pm for a single bedroom flat.

      Meanwhile her boss is this openly corrupt pub landlady who uses her personal bank account for the company finances of a 100yo cocktail bar that she’s gonna run into the ground despite it being massively successful. Fucking scum parasite FUCKS I despise Dublin and all it stands for.

          My friends dad is a disabled poor white guy living in a poor Dublin working class community. He lives off the government and recently he’s basically turned into Hitler from what I can tell. He fucking LOVES Mcgreggor. Irish hitler is going to come sooner than libs realize.

          I remember when I first moved here 3 years ago, and I told Irish libs who chastised me about American politics that they are also a part of the imperial core and that the imperial boomerang will come around and hit Ireland too.

          They didn’t belive me. They said none of this would happened. I went to everything fucking protest, joined communist groups when I first moved here. Im so fucking tired.

            Same. I was living with a divorcee as housemate down in cork. Dude’s was an orphan turned gangster. But he wasn’t nazi yet. He loved our brazilian housemate and all. I gave him a birthday cake once. He felt into my arms crying saying nobody ever did anything that nice to him, can u imagine. But then last time he was like “too much of dem”. Breaks my heart.

                The same thing as last time sweetie. I’m belgian. My grandparents they lived through nazi occupation. My grandma was like 14 with her 8yo sisters. They took over an abandonned farm. They were alone. The parents stayed. Her dad was part of a resistance network that put a mess in the train system and hid people from the nazis.

                I know it’s very dark time but despair is not an option.
