Great post Michael! That apathetic non-reaction from the audience was something else. Stockholm Syndrome, mass psychosis, Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, whatever it was, mighty powerful. Their basic instincts and intuition been completely overwritten, obviously. That weird coven on the stage, gazing down approvingly on their captured audience, yikes.

Great insights there on the Irish working and middle classes. I know them too. The children of hard-working farmers who got to go to college, these days unbearably bougie and woke. They have Ukrainians to do their nails, Brazilians to deliver their food, taxi drivers, security guards.......sure the entire "service class" is imported. The actual Irish working class have been somehow cancelled. Powerful stuff, that RTE black magic. They have been broadcasting this poison for decades. They really outdid themselves this time.
