Ireland used to be one of the most conservative country in europe, now it’s become another left infested hell hole.
What happened?
The EU happened.
Conservatism was targeted by the EU, which is why European conservatism is just another socialist variant.
“What happened?”
In my opinion, several factors are at play.
(1) Ireland is a very conformist country. In the 1950s, being a conformist in their culture meant being a respectable, law-abiding, church-going person. In the 2020s, being a conformist in their culture means being a woke, LGBT-friendly political leftist.
(2) Ireland has a national inferiority complex. They are ashamed to have been once seen as this kind of church-dominated backwater. As such, they’re always desperately trying to prove that they’re “with it.”
(3) Ireland has no tradition of intellectual conservatism. Bill Buckley may have been Irish, but Ireland has no Bill Buckleys of its own. The talking points of the international left are treated in Ireland as “received wisdom,” with no voices saying, “Hey, this is crap.”
