        They’ve suffered some from burgerbrain (same and moreso for eastern Europe+east Germany etc) but the Irish are a particularly decent lot IMO. It’s the rare (or rather, only) western (west Euro, Anglo) society that seems to promote a certain sense of human decency rather than Hitlerism (both “conservative” and faux-progressive strains) and supremacism/chauvinism as its identity and culture.

          They understand what it’s like to have your homeland cut in half by the English and filled with members of a religious sect that wants to kill you.
