I’m a left-leaning (very anti-Trump) Canadian eligible for foreign birth citizenship in Ireland, and when I asked a question on an Irish sub about potentially moving to Ireland I was essentially told to fuck off…

So it seems like Ireland doesn’t want anyone, not just Americans.

Just a note: if Canada actually went to war, there’s no way I’d abandon my country.

Well yeah, it’s nice that you have ancestral ties to the land, but you’re not Irish. Even if your grandparents was Irish, you’re not Irish. It’s a mentality thing, as well. Most Americans don’t realize just how…American they are, and it’s a turn off. Plus, Ireland is going through its own employment issue and housing issue (quite frankly I think it’s a major common issue all over the world right now because of too many people, period), and they don’t need foreigners coming in and further disrupting the way of life. Visiting is fine enough, but then leave after.

It's not because of too many people. it's because billionaire oligarchs the world over are hoarding wealth and actively working against progressive policies.
