"The tradition of political realism has a reputation for being pessimistic—that is, for seeing and expecting the worst from the world, its individuals, and its states. Yet, despite all his realism, Niccolò Machiavelli was a romantic about his city. He famously said in a letter to his friend, diplomat Francesco Vettori, “I love my city more than my own soul.”"

Irish Teacher Enoch Burke Has Bank Accounts Frozen After Refusing Gender Pronouns
Irish teacher Enoch Burke, who refused to comply with gender pronoun policies, now finds himself with frozen bank accounts in what critics call a chilling move against free speech.
This is what "human rights" look like in 2025—where dissent can cost you everything. Many see Ireland heading toward a dystopian reality, echoing Orwell’s 1984, just like the rest of Europe.
