Why has Ireland become so woke so fast?

The self-administered transformation of Ireland in the space of two generations has been staggering in its scope and depth. We've gone from mono-racial nationalistic Catholic conservatism to becoming multicultural and the wokest of the woke. Few nations - if any - have sloughed off their past and embraced globohomo with such enthusiasm. On approving a referendum to extend abortion rights thousands of young women thronged the streets, weeping with emotion. In revulsion at the impending deaths of thousands of additional unborn babies? No, in celebration of the fact. The right to gay marriage was fought for here with an intensity rarely seen elsewhere. And approved in a landslide.

What accounts for this almost unprecedented transformation? Surely the massive scandals that lead to the implosion of the Catholic Church were central. Because the Church was and remains inextricably linked with Old Ireland. In Old Ireland the Church was everywhere, ruling every facet of life with a deeply conservative rod of steel to the extent that an unmarried teacher 'living in sin' with her boyfriend would lose her job. When the dam finally broke and the full breathtaking scale of the corruption and hypocrisy was revealed the moral and spiritual bedrock of the Irish people was removed. This took place just as the sixties Cultural Marxist revolution was sweeping the world. So very quickly anything opposed to traditional Christianity was enthusiastically welcomed. Agitators sneeringly questioned what it really meant to be Irish. Hundreds of thousands of Africans and Pakistanis were happy to broaden the definition.

Why has Ireland's collapse been so abject? Surely much of it can be attributed to our colonial legacy. We always saw Britain, England really, as overwhelmingly bigger as well as stronger and better. Despite the bluster our national pride rested on shaky foundations. But then (for a variety of reasons) within a relatively short time we became wealthy and technologically advanced. On most Human Development Index criteria we now outperform the Brits. As this new standing coincided with our abandonment of Old Ireland (in particular the Church) the association became, or appeared to become, clear. We were the beggars on horseback and we knew who provided us with the horse.  Traditional = bad, progressive = good.

But it's a Faustian Pact and one that we're paying for already in terms of soaring murder and suicide rates and declining social cohesion. Meanwhile the building blocks for future race and religious conflicts have been put  firmly in place. Hopefully this catastrophe can provide some lessons for the countries of Eastern Europe, currently under unrelenting attack by globohomo. Because they too have suffered centuries of colonisation and/or occupation and see themselves as backward vis-a-vis 'the West' just as Ireland did with Britain. And just as with Ireland (though by no means as bad) the Church there cowers in the corner or  actually become cheerleaders for globalism.

A final thought. Isn't it deeply ironic how our enemies used the Church's homosexual and paedophile scandals to bring it down yet will now capitalise on its demise to promote those very sins? And by the way, there's another lesson to be learned : That homosexuality is the 'gateway drug' to paedophilia
