[QUOTE="Fishalt, post: 129985, member: 228"] I think on your first point, though accurate, this is simply a consequence of media and tech bias. In fact I'm sure it is. You have to accept that the internet is essentially governed by a few major entities (such as alphabet) and these are all American, and Silicon Valley based. This is an extremely progressive region, with an extremely progressive culture. Thusly the cultural and philosophical MO they pipe literally everywhere around the world has hard progressive bias. This[I] is[/I] the current orthodoxy. They have the power to deplatform sites if they don't tow the line, and control and manipulate search results to promote media and information germaine to their agenda. Can you really blame the members here for creating a pocket free of it, and for not wanting to host more of it? Ireland's environmental record and the current state of the environment therein is appalling. I've been looking into this lately, and less than 1% of tree cover is remnant forestry. 11% is forestry of any kind, and the vast majority of this is monoculture, which is only slightly better than nothing. There are many reasons for this, but fracturization is probably the main issue. Although Australia is much better, we're still pretty bad here environmentally. The only reason Australia isn't as cleared as Ireland is that we don't have Ireland's history. We don't have thousands of years of tree felling for structure-building and heating, and we weren't at the epicentre of the industrial revolution. Most of the deforestation happened in the mid 1800's to about 1940, with the best timber being sent back to England. But you'd be amazed at the scale of the destruction which occurred in that time--and the amount of death that accompanied it. Go to any one of the old graveyards around Brisbane. You'll see a lot of headstones with celtic knots on them, loggers who died in their late teens and twenties trying to cut down thousand-year-old trees with crosscut saws and sping boards. Anyway, apparently 66% of Ireland is farmland, but farming only accounts for about 1% of GDP. There's your problem right there.
