Inb4 asking what those things are

_"TEDx Trinity has postponed a proposed discussion on modern-day feminism, after several students objected to the all-white, all-Irish panel that was scheduled to speak."_

I'm sorry, you people are all too Irish to talk in Ireland

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't white people indigenous to Ireland?

Perhaps I should rephrase.

Aren't the indigenous people of Ireland white?

**YES**

Maybe they should show up to the conference draped in raw wool and smeared in woad.

Maybe they should all drop dead

Also from the article

_"Shubhangi Karmakar, the Treasurer of the Graduate Students’ Union (GSU) and the founder of Repealist, said in a tweet that “pale and female is getting a bit stale too”."_

Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp

Nothing can save them. The European continent is lost.

at least we're not sinking in the atlantic

Ireland has no counter voice to the progressives

Our media and academics adore them, both our big parties pander to them, we have passive aggressive progressives on the ground, we've voted overwhelmingly progressive in the last two referendums, and we're all spouting the same "EU great, migrant crisis great, everything I don't like is alt right" rhetoric

At least the UK and US have some parties offering diversity of thought

Our 'alternative', the national party, is teensy tiny

Reminds me of my home country of Canada

Wow

That sounds like hell

God, could you imagine being a conservative in Sweden?

Or even just a left or right libertarian would probably still be ostracized there

Centrist

I can't wait until we start hearing about people being actively punished by the government for wrongth--oh wait that's already been happening nvm

The big difference here in Canada is that our alternative (conservative) party is too corporatist and in some cases too traditionally conservative. The liberals were our center-left party that were supposed to be the reasonable ones, but they've fallen off the rails entirely and joined the NDP (socialist party) when it comes to social issues but not on economic issues.

Cons also like progshit

Liberals are just neolibs+socjus like the Dems

This is why the People's Party is the only real opposition rn

I would say that the liberals were still pro-capitalist but at this point I don't even think Trudeau takes the economy into consideration. Back when the whole pipeline fiasco had started in the news, Trudeau ran off to NYU for a public speaking event. He still hasn't done anything, essentially letting our oil industry pack up and leave.

He's spineless to the point where he's afraid to take sides

Neolibs aren't necessarily pro market, just pro corporate

Pro global trade as well

I could probably go all day typing walls of text about this stuff. I need a youtube channel lol

Wew

But yeah the PPC is really the only alternative to stagnation

Biggest issue here is apathy

I haven't really taken much of a look at the PPC, just kinda assumed that it would be taken over by ethnonationalists as those types of parties usually are

They're getting a lot of the more actual right wing con base and the libertarians from what I can tell

So far it's just Classical Liberalism: The Party

I really hope so, if they can gain some popularity and maintain this center-left/right balance then I would definitely vote for them in 2019

I know a hardcore Libertarian who immediately signed up to be a founding member

Otherwise I don't think I'd even vote. Scheer just seems like a conservative version of Trudeau but with a better speaking ability
