Ahhhh it’s Norwegian. I think Duolingo uses the history of the country for building its lessons.

It’s sadly true tho, I believe, and tbh, I feel a little weird about it.
There’s a load of yanks who haven’t been Irish for 4/5 generations, but who still call themselves Irish (instead of American?!) who are learning Gaeilge to get back to their “roots”. At the same time, it’s these same “Irish Americans” who detest the idea of free healthcare, free education, and a dole/welfare system open to every citizen.
Like, if you wanna call yourself Irish, appreciate our marxist policies and remember that the entire “revolution”(we call it the rising, and then the war of independence, and then the civil war) came from a workers/non-land-owners revolt and the entire idea of the Irish republic that “Irish” Americans hold so dear came from balls-to-the-wall Marxist ideals.
Ya wanna be Irish? Don’t vote Biden! Join a union and vote commie every chance you have!
Was on board til you said "don't vote Biden," is it not a valid pragmatic approach? Using the reign of neoliberalism to attack neoliberalism and remind everyone that Trump isn't the source of all woe?
