We know all about Trump, migration, the EU, Israel and all those international issues. But what crazy stupid thing is unique to the nutjobs in your country?

      The “Troubles” (sorry I need the scare quotes for such an understatement) weren’t that long ago. Just about one generation.

        Yes yes. About 50 years. I wasnt alive back then and to me all before 2000 feals so much more long ago eventhough my grandparents litterly lived threw that time and my parents were born and grew up then.

        I guess its also because im neurodivergent, perceving time differently and dont have attachment to a location, nation, religion and stuff like that, why it all just feels foreign that these ideas and events are still so present in peoples minds that they cause trouble (I forgot what i originally wanted to write mid way threw this xd)

          The Good Friday Agreement was only signed in 1998, which admittedly is before 2000, but not that far before it.

              Yeah as someone not from there, same. But I am not surprised at the sentiment still being very much alive when many of the main characters still are, too.
