meanwhile, Irish Twitter and TikTok have been absolutely ablaze with celebration...

Twitter is an echo chamber of edginess and not indicative of the average person in the real world.

It's like wondering what 4chan thinks of this.

Average person don't care...

All kinds of republicans(anti-monarchists, not American republicans) are content.

For now, at least. I think we are all underestimating just how much Twitter impacts public perception. Not just on topics, but how people feel, act, and interact with others. Twitter seems to have a cancerous negativity it inflicts on its users.

That's more a matter of what circles you're in. Most people I've encountered have been much more moderate, separating the human being, who deserves to be mourned, from the institution.

>>NoraCo+(OP)
The hashtag #IrishTwitter that artificially gets pumped up by Twitter's recommendation algorithm does not equal Irish Twitter, and it certainly does not equal Ireland.

Speaking as an Irish person who hates inherited titles, those people are effing assholes. What part of don't speak I'll of the dead did they miss out on?

They're probably not Irish people.

Either your typical bottom-up social media fake news, or the usual MO of certain intelligence agencies to sow division in the anglosphere.

I've always gone by the motto that if the dead didn't want us to speak ill of them, they shouldn't have been bad people during their lives.

Totally fair and I don't entirely disagree but the whole don't speak I'll of the dead thing is very much ingrained in Irish culture.

Also, Liz 2 was presumably a reasonably decent person, and can't really be blamed for the actions of the British government.
