also on a realpolitik level, wtf does it do for Sinn Féin’s base for the party to be seen sucking off the UK Supreme Court??? their love of British culture war wedges doesn’t exactly scream republicanism.

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

'The conversion of 15 Usher’s Island will do nothing to aid the housing crisis, and so its demise represents only a loss to Ireland’s cultural history, and an acceptance of Ireland’s cruel and austere modern-day. And rents will continue to rise, upon all the living and the dead.'
