is Dublin becoming more of a cultural center since Brexit?
- a_paddy 2y agoBrexit? The British left Dublin 102 years ago.
- chgs 2y agoAs in since the U.K. shot itself in the foot more effort is being spent on an English speaking country in Europe at the expense of an English speaking country in its own.
- wk_end 2y agoEhhh I wouldn’t think it’d make a significant difference on its own. London is what it is (was what it was?) because of centuries of English imperial hegemony, not just because it’s English-speaking. Berliners speak the global lingua franca virtually just as well and - with no slight intended to the Irish - their city is a much more natural fit as the new European cosmopolitan cultural Mecca. Dublin’s rising global prominence probably has more to do with Ireland’s rather business-friendly taxation policies.
