complicated question. rightfully so, we all should be paying for water per usage but after studying environmental issues for sometime, i have come to realise our current environmental policies and directives have been hijacked by the global neoliberalist movement and are no longer just about improving our global environment but are in fact about forcing privatisation of our public assets and services, in this case our water services. i also feel, as michael hudson puts it, there is a massive movement of moving taxation from the wealthiest individuals and corporations, onto the general labour force. i believe this is true with the creation of irish water. basically, its a scam, and a very serious one at that. iw is a bloody mess. im actually very proud that the people of ireland stood up and said no more. enough is enough. sadly this will probably have negative effects on our environment while we sort this out, but the labour force cannot continue to be taxed more and more while massive wealth is accumulating at the higher tiers of our social and financial systems, mainly in tax havens.

be aware, we are not under democratic control. some of the largest financial institutions are actually running the show. the main culprits would be the imf and the world bank. i personally think our politicians are actually terrified of these institutions and bow to their every demand. its been deeply disturbing to watch our politicians bully the citizens of this country into paying for these new taxes. our democratic systems are in serious trouble.

Very true and in a time of the centenary of
Our revolution it's time to start throwing an
Eye in the direction of the ways our predecessors
Dealt with oppression because one day it'll
Be too late
The west is scared of the rise of china etc
And I think they're adopting the attitude if
You can't beat them join them in regards
To how they are worryingly stifling our rights
We know how treachery was dealt with in
The past, Bertie ahern, Enda kenny and
Their ilk have been treacherous beyond belief
I wonder how Collins and our other great leaders
Would've dealt with them

my uncle, a proud republican, is disgusted with all this as am i. id say our revolutionary predecessors would be disgusted with how we re being treated. this is all very disturbing to watch unfold, and nobody really knows what to do about it. we re now in a situation, damned if you do, damned if you dont.
im not sure what to make of china but i think theyre getting caught up in the same crappy systems, so id say we ll all eventually sink like a stone, and probably in a bloody mess to, literally. but in saying that, it looks like china is getting into bed with russia, and i think we re on the wrong team!

Well a powerful weapon is boycotting a concept
Born here, boycott places that don't employ
Irish, boycott work places that don't allow staff
To form unions, boycott our corrupt politicians
Refuse to serve them in the shops etc, if staff
Members are sacked for refusing boycott the
Shop, tradesmen should refuse to do work on
Their many big houses
Take to the streets all together Irish and non Irish
And have mass days of no work, block the whole
System with our cars, drive into towns park the
Cars in the streets and walk away, this would
Cause temporary suffering to ourselves but would
Make the bent elite sit up and listen
Let's print boycott fliers and plaster the country
With them, get the numb brained sheet to ask
What's this boycott business, get talking about
It

you can forget about that ever happening. i think neoliberalism is actually one of the main if not the main reason for what i call social fracturing. i think our societies are becoming fragmented leading us to think and behave in a selfish and self centered way. i largely blame our financial and economic systems for this behaviour rather than the individuals within these systems. we need to start supporting each other in any way possible.
the luas strike is a very interesting one to watch. you can see the serious backlash from the public regarding the strikes, i.e. theres little support for people regarding these issues, i.e. forget about your boycott movement, it wont happen. people are terrified to stand up at this stage, and understandable so. this is another tool used by the neoliberalist movement. we are now, as michael hudson puts it, under the control of 'debt peonage'!
i think the eu will eventually crash in a blaze of glory because of these issues amongst other things. will probably take a long time though, and god only knows what state our country will be in by then.

The sooner the better it does collapse, I think
Boycott on a small scale to start with can go a
Long way, there's no one to fear when boycotting
Unscrupulous businesses etc
