The whole statement is great btw.
Ireland remains one of the only good white country. Any others you can think of?

While this is extremely based, remember that Ireland is also one of the world's largest "flag of convenience" nations that transnational corporations use to dodge tax liability in their home countries (Google is nominally headquartered there, if I recall correctly). They actively present themselves that way, and actively recruit people looking to hide their ill-gotten capital from the world. We 100% need to be loudly in support of their actions on Palestine, but it should still be critical support and calling them "the only good white country" is maybe going a little too far.
Ireland is long past the days of being revolutionary, their support for Palestine and such is merely a vestigial remnant of that past. Let’s not forget that last year the white men of Ireland fucking rioted over the existence of black and brown people, that chud Conner MacGregor made himself the self appointed leader of that mini pogrom through twitter.
