Hibernia & Hyper-Normalisation

“Such a scenario of Hypernormalisation is well underway in Ireland. It is partly caused by the Clan mentality fixating collectively on Neoliberalism, and this factor will certainly compound it going forwards. Vestiges of our post-colonial inferiority complex will also play into this. Across the world Bobos are universally characterised by their need for and worship of social status, but for Irish Bobos this need to be perceived as being cosmopolitan and worthy in the eyes of their international peers is a pure gut-level desperation.”
