Anon is pleasantly surprised his butter purchases don't support the IRA.

Just the text: The general consensus is that the American dairy industry sucks so bad that if you want decent butter you have to import it from Ireland or New Zealand. I have no idea if this is actually true, as an American my palate has been destroyed by decades of eating flavor-blasted Cool Ranch Twinkies, but the certified professional karens on TheSpruce.com tell my wife to buy foreign commie hobbit butter, and "happy wife" etc, so we buy foreign commie hobbit butter. Initially I thought it was mildly interesting that our butter purchases might be supporting the IRA, not that I'm necessarily a diaspora republican, it just seemed interesting from an abstract political pespective, like "huh", but it turns out that Kerrygold was invented by a London Jew so probably not. Whatever, it's absolutely insane to import dairy from overseas, the 100% exact opposite of eating local fresh organic, surely Greta Thunberg's ovaries burn every time we scoop off a bit of transatlantic butter on our Thos. English Muffins, but the wife likes it, and she didn't complain too much about my latest investment in limited edition almost-vintage Nintendo Switch accessories, so it seems like an easy win.
