Maybe we shouldn’t buy from Ireland either. Not only that Ireland attracts Amazon, Meta, X & Co with its low tax politics at the expense of others. It also has a harmless GDPR office (which we know since the Schrems vs Meta cases) and is unwilling to fullfill EU’s Digital Service Act. Ireland is a compliant sidekick of US big business companies and data collectores.
Recently an Austrian Journalist tried to make X deleting hate speach and since nothing happened later tried to reveal the identity of a poster who violates Austrian law. Irland helped X perfectly to stay in its extralegal sphere. The original is in German Language, but the translation might be fine enough (if it wasn’t Google).
I’m from Ireland and I agree with the sentiment. For all the criticism we (in Ireland) level at those countries, we are very much US/UK foot soldiers. Ireland also props up the EPP in the EU, which is Israels biggest enabler. It’s the reason they face no sanctions for genocide.
