It’s easy to feel optimistic when you see so many other countries electing far right fascists and we Irish roundly reject them each time. It’s nice to know we are the good guys.

r/Ireland enters the chat 😄
Well they certainly didn’t run this past /r/ireland for approval
Does “it can’t get any worse” count as optimism ?
Holy shite, the rest of Europe must be completely pessimistic

Lads, it’s not April fools, there’s been a mistake with that headline.
Reminds me of discussing[ this ](https://www.businessfinland.com/press-release/2024/why-is-finland-the-happiest-country-in-the-world-for-the-7th-time/)with my Finnish friend, who promptly replied “We are”, but I wasn’t sure if it was a question or a statement.
Damn, the bar must be pretty low.
I like to think we are
