I don’t know the actual numbers but shittons of Irish came out here after the GFC. Recruitment in Aus is basically run by Irish and some Northern Poms. Your countrymen haven’t helped us but I get why they came given what they faced at home and what Aus seemed to offer. Too many bought socialist ideas though. Irish-Aussies are now champagne socialists contributing to these very problems!

You’re welcome to butt heads, I’ve nothing against the Irish, it’s in my own bloodline, I’m just describing reality on the ground in Aus. We got your younguns after the GFC with their socialist ideas, they got good paying jobs and all the benefits of our version of socialism so they never grew out of it and were encouraged to join the system which they did. Can’t blame them leaving the Irish collapse for Aus which uniquely rode out the GFC thanks to our low debt-to-GDP. It’s just 20/20 hindsight which shows what a bad idea it was for us to let them come here permanently and solidify the leftism which is thoroughly entrenched in Aus.

You are making some points that I've honestly never heard before, and it's really interesting. I distinctly remember the GFC, and the exodus out of Ireland that ensued. Anyone that I knew personally, was interested in making some money and coming home. You're making the point that there were stay behinds that somehow altered the political environment? I've never heard that argument before. When did you first notice this?

6-7 years ago. We got Irish embeds inside “Aussie companies” (in my case, US Companies setting up Aussie presence under local PTY LTDs). They married locals and got PR/Citizenship and had the same work rights as the rest of us but were heavily embedded in recruitment. That’s a job that makes $200k here no sweat. $300-$400-$500k in good years. Take 50% in tax it’s still top 10%. They became champagne socialists in Aus. Received all the benefits as they got established, lived comfortable with good wages, then wanted more socialism from the rest of us once they had roots in country. They avoided your shitshow and demand we go down your path. Not working well for any of us.

So Austrailia was decidely less socialist before the Irish arrived after the great financial crash? You said yourself that they benefitted from socialism when they got off the plane, so was it the case that these particular Irish made it even worse. Who was responsible initially for the socialist conditions that led to this? I think a clearer idea of what we mean by 'socialism' would be helpful if I'm to understand your points fully. Do we mean the money printer and central banking? Do we mean the welfare system, or do we mean the social justice woke shite and all of the garbage ideaologies that are associated with that side of things.

Australia has been socialistish as long as I’ve been alive so it’s not on the Irish who came post GFC, they moreso amplified it. No different to the Vietnamese who emigrated here - they left after the US were kicked out because they weren’t Commies but they came with little and benefitted greatly from our social programs and so now keep voting for more of the same. Australia is undoubtedly one of the best places in the world if you’re poor. Until recently being homeless was very much only by choice, plenty of systems to get you on your feet if you fell on hard times so every wave of immigrants has benefitted from this. Problem is they now massively outnumber the local productive population who pay for it all and because most aren’t business owners who see more directly how fucked taxes are, they entrench and broaden the socialism through their politics.
