Woke Activists Need to Read Their David Hume Fri Apr 19, 2024 11:16 | Dr James Allan
The great Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume would have some things to teach today's woke activists, says Prof James Allan: about a mind-independent reality that has no truck with claims of 'my truth'.

Farmers? Biggest Problems are Green Ideologues, not Climate Change Fri Apr 19, 2024 09:00 | Ben Pile
It's been a wet winter and this is bad news for farmers, says Ben Pile. But with agricultural yields increasing sharply over recent decades, there's no reason to link it to climate change or start catostrophising about it.

How Many Billions of People Would Die Under Net Zero? Fri Apr 19, 2024 07:00 | Chris Morrison
Chris Packham has hit back at claims made on GB News that half the world's population could die under Net Zero. But that seems like a fair estimate of the catastrophic harm of deindustrialisation, says Chris Morrison.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6...éirígí could mark International Women's Day by putting some women on its national executive? Seven out of the seven elected at January's Ard Fheis were men. Is there any other Irish political party that can claim this dubious achievement?
Are eirigi pro choice?
Five of the women on that poster are recognisable.
I expect that Eirigi asked permission off their families that the photos of their loved ones be used as political propaganda for Eirigi.
Not a chance methinks.
(It was our own Columkille who created "copyright" law after all.)
Pro-choice what do you mean? I think their choice was to be free of British imperialism.
Do you mean were unborn children legitimate targets? You'd have to ask them.
The issue of abortion crosses both right and left hardly a litmus test for right on politics.
In my experience of being in the activist scene in Ireland there weren't very few women involved
in meetings around Reclaim the Streets, anarchist movement, WSM membership etc.
You'd have tor research why this is/ was the case in Ireland.
Women seemed to be in larger numbers in the peace movement in England and esewhere in the '80's for example.
There are liberal feminists like Hillary Clinton that use feminsim to justfy the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan.
There are radical feminists who oppose the invasion of Afghanistan.
There was Margaret Thatcher whose policies towards Ireland were ruthless.
There's the Queen visintg soon who is a woman and head of the British state.
Feminsim doesn't progress until it moves on from beating the male guilt drum
Black liberation doesn't progress until it moves on from beating the white guilt drum
Gay liberation doesn't progress until it moves on from beating the straight guil drum
Thankfully some femisists, people of color and gays have moved on.
Time to get out of the ghetto even if it seves as as a comfort zone
It's up to you to decide if this event is merely opportunism or a small party piece Irish Republican contrubution to the day. Looks ok to me.
"In my experience of being in the activist scene in Ireland."
Do "activists" improve Microsoft or Apple or Google?
It's a reasonable question where Eírigí, as a supposedly revolutionary socialist group (which should make them feminist by definition), stand on the issue of women's reproductive rights and why their national leadership is composed entirely of men.
Anonymous Scaredy Cat's rather bizarre and ultra-defensive ramblings notwithstanding.
