To gaslight someone is to make them question their own memory, perception, or sanity—a form of psychological control dressed up as care. But what happens when the target is an entire nation? That’s exactly what Irish politicians—especially those at the top—have done.
It is astonishing that a country once brutalised by colonial rule is now governed by elites who mimic the same contempt—minus the bayonets, but with the same sneering disdain. The weapon today is not military might or judicial terror, but a post-colonial inferiority complex so pervasive it has its own name: self-loathing.
Nowhere is this more visible than in Ireland’s commissions of investigation. The government rigs the outcomes by appointing unqualified figureheads and drafting terms of reference to guarantee a predetermined verdict. When facts fail to cooperate, politicians issue apologies anyway—crafted in the usual collective self-flagellation: We were cruel, we were warped, we were monsters.
No other government in modern history has declared its own people guilty of crimes they didn’t commit—without trial, without evidence, and with applause. Not even Stalin managed that without forged documents. And not even North Korea would dare gaslight its people in a press release.
