A long standing tradition on TFK, and indeed Irish society, is to dismiss anyone that doesn’t sheepishly follow the middle class subservient attitude as a skanger, scumbag, lowlife, uneducated, low class…
On TFK this attitude is observed with the use of ‘gubernment’, which is a play on working class accents to debase a whole segment of society… It’s use is a flex of elitism and superiority. It’s class consciousness at it’s finest.
Please use this thread to log instances of elitist attitudes on TFK.
Until their supermarket shelves empty and their Amazon deliveries don’t turn up. And worse, when absolutely essential goods or travel is not possible, leading to fatalities. Then the Gubernment will be blamed.
Limerick hurling team “supporters”, with their two all Irelands in forty years, recent converts all from Munster rubby, smirkingly consoling true blood and guts Waterford hurling fans who have followed their team for generations with the “ah Shure lookit, ye are a fine team, and shure don’t we know well how it is, and ye’ll most definitely be back to try ye’re luck agin nixt year lads” shtick
All simply resort to blaming the Government when the time calls.
If we go for Zero Covid and see something similar to what happened here, they will take no responsibility for it and their middle class selves will blame the Gubernment.
