RTÉ News: Leo Varadkar steps down as Taoiseach

[oscarisaacasimov]

What do we celebrate on St Patrick's Day exactly? 

The triumph of Christianity over older pagan religions? 

The excuse to irresponsibly drink green dyed beer?

The culture your family may be descended from? 

Over the past few years, I've become fascinated by the Irish perspective on the world, as expressed by both politicians and artists.

Irish people today benefit from white privilege, being a wealthy nation, and being part of the in the Anglosphere. 

And yet they are unique in that Anglosphere; unlike the white residents of Canada, England, USA, Australia, and New Zealand, Irish history and tradition is that of the colonized rather than the colonizer. They experienced loss of language and political independence; they lost many due to wars of conquest, man-made famine, assimilation and migration. 

The Irish are in a unique place; subjugated enough to be critical of Imperialism, yet privileged enough to be heard above most other dissenters around the world. 

Ireland is one of the most pro-Palestinian nations in the world. Public support for Palestinians is higher in Ireland than even some majority-Muslim countries, according to polling data. Ireland was the first European Union member to call for Palestinian statehood in 1980 and the last to grant Israel permission to open an embassy in 1993.

Why Ireland is one of the most pro-Palestinian nations in the world

One of the most pro-Palestinian nations in the world is not an Arab or Muslim country. It's not even in the Middle East. Polls show Ireland

Happy St. Patrick's Day. Two Irishmen I'd like to kiss.

leo varadkar coming in with the steel chair and suddenly resigning as taoiseach while everyone's distracted by the british royal family's mess is admittedly a hilarious move
