Archiving the “strange death of Europe,” as Douglas Murray put it, and the West more broadly, at the hands of the neoliberal technocracy.
One might, if one were not familiar with what has become of Europe, be forgiven for assuming that St. Patrick’s Day offers an occasion to celebrate the native culture of Ireland.
The subversive governing authorities of Ireland took it, instead, as an opportunity to push replacement migration in the most brazenly naked manner possible.
Irish President Catherine Connolly’s St. Paddy’s Day address: ‘The story of Patrick's life serves as a reminder of the resilience and courage of migrants’
Irish President Catherine Connolly released a curious address to the nation commemorating 2026 St. Patrick’s Day in which she likened the island’s patron saint to a modern-day Third World economic migrant:
The story of Patrick's life serves as a reminder of the resilience and courage of migrants. The invaluable contributions that they have made and continue to make to the countries they now call home. Sometimes even in the face of great adversity. Patrick's story speaks not only to Ireland in the 5th century but also to millions still subjected to trafficking, forced labor and displacement today. As we recall the life of Patrick we invoke his spirit and acknowledge our shared responsibilities as global citizens.

As one observer noted, Connolly referenced “Patrick” four times yet never once affixed the “Saint” portion of his moniker prior to his invocation — which almost certainly was not an oversight in modern-day Babylon.

‘New Irish’ celebrate St. Paddy’s Day
Connolly was by no means alone in her efforts, in that top government ministers were out in full force yesterday pimping the “we love our sacred migrant” line.
Caroline Bocquel, Ireland’s national tourism development authority, welcomed the “new Irish” to the party on St. Patrick’s Day:
It's a wonderful way to show our tourists the Céad Míle Fáilte that we have here for people in Ireland, how we welcome people. It’s been a wonderful atmosphere in the streets seeing so many visitors and so many Irish and new Irish people also here really enjoying this celebration. So what a great way to send people back home. We hope they will come again and continue to celebrate here with us in Ireland.

‘Queer arts collective’ St. Patrick’s Day parade contributions
With the mantra “celebrating LGBTQ arts, culture, and visibility across Ireland,” the “Outing Queer Art Collective’s” (probably government-funded) displays for the St. Patrick Day parade included drag queens oin royal litters blowing kisses to the crowd and a unicorn float (presumably a queer unicorn), the connection of any of which to Irish culture or St. Patrick being unclear and never explained.

Nigerians perform tribal dance on streets of Dublin for St. Patrick’s Day
Oddly, there is nary a set of Uilleann pipes to be seen.
Instead, you get Sub-Saharan, rhythmic drumbeats and some kind of tribal dancing you’d see in a National Geographic documentary.

All to commemorate, one must be reminded over and over because the pretense of the connection is so flimsy, a fifth-century Christian evangelist from Northern Europe.
