This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

From Ireland the way it looks to me: It has always been like that for the original inhabitants since Europeans arrived. Just that white privilege isn’t what it used to be now.

You're not wrong. I'd say the biggest difference is that the oppression is now more overt and intense.
