We've been furious here on the island regarding almost all the politicians leaving to pander to a genocidal administration.
I humbly request that when you see those fools shaming us abroad to remember that they have expressly ignored the will of the people. We marched in our hundreds of thousands for weeks and still they ignore our every request.
Ireland stands with Palestine always, those stooges from the Dáil do not represent us and will be removed in the upcoming General Election. They needed their last free holiday on the taxpayer given they'll never have power again.
If you are to engage in the festivities this weekend I request you utilise the black shamrock, and not the green. That is what we're doing here.
Saoirse don Phalaistín. 🇵🇸✊🇮🇪

Some reminders for St. Patrick’s day (especially if you are travelling to Ireland for the event)
This is a minor annoyance, but over here we say Paddy’s day not Patty’s day. So don’t correct Irish people and insist it’s Patty’s.
Kilts are not Irish. Dublin is flooded rn with Americans wearing kilts. Kilts are Scottish, we don’t wear them in Ireland.
Don’t go round telling everyone you’re Irish when you’re American, it’s really annoying and we will make fun of you.
The whole pinching people for not wearing green is an American invention, don’t do it in Ireland. Pinching a stranger is the quickest way to get slapped.
Also, don’t order an “Irish car bomb” or a “black and tans” in a bar. Those are extremely offensive and tone deaf. Both of those terms are linked to the death of thousands of people. If you do this you might get served a “9/11” in retaliation, or at least get your drinks spat in.
And on that, it’s important to remember that this is just a regular day for most people in cities. We still have to work and go about our business. It’s such a crazy busy day, so please don’t make it harder. Treat workers with respect.
Treat the city with respect too! This weekend the place is packed with (mainly) American tourists who treat Ireland like their own personal playground during St. Patrick’s day. Don’t behave in a way you wouldn’t in your own city (I.e. vandalise, be a drunk public nuisance).
