Holy shit Karl! A united Ireland? A Celtic alliance? Are you trying to get shot?

I'm confused, as everything I propose just seems sensible and worth discussing from my viewpoint! As my Statement says at https://kdgreenparty.substack.com/about :

"Karl is proud to be detested by racists, bigots, megarich tax dodgers, fascists, sexists, apartheid defenders, homophobes, people who are cruel to animals, colonialists, regressives, those who adore inherited privilege, imperialists, and warmongers. He can’t be bought or bribed. He is respected and loved by those who want peace, equality, justice, and cooperation."

But I admit I am not a conformist.

I jest. Somewhat. After all, the Irish had been demanding NI back for over a century, before finally admitting that it's never going to happen. And yes, Scotland def got screwed with Brexit. But I fear that reminding the thin-blooded spawn of William the Conqueror that many people in the British Isles are *not* actually English may be playing with fire. Even if His High Doofness claimed to be Welsh, when even I know he's German and Greek.

You are totally right. :-) Though if I was ever to be a politician, I'd be one who always told the truth, even when faced with overwhelming opposition from bigots. It's one of the reasons I stand up for Palestine. :-)

It's refreshing. We could use some of that over here. Principles that can be abandoned when they become inconvenient aren't principles. They're platitudes. Eg. our First Amendment.

Exactly! I just want to do a bit to make the world fairer and our culture less damaging (and to be a thorn in the side of arseholes).
