Ireland, even as a senior member conceded that the organisation was "sectarian".
lain Carlisle, chief executive of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, said that critics were correct to describe the 231-year-old institution in those terms because it existed for Protestants and excluded Catholics.
"It is sectarian, in the dictionary-definition sense of the word," he told The Sunday Times.

Palantir’s vision is the philosophy of Nazi political theorist Carl Schmitt dressed up in jeans and a hoodie. It is fundamentally anti-humanist, presents permanent conflict as inevitable, and seeks to build a technocratic power structure without even the minimal constraints of democracy.
Leah McElrath@leahmcelrath.bsky.social · 4mo ago⚠️ Palantir released what it describes as a vision for “The Technological Republic” in which it argues AGAINST democratic and cultural pluralism and FOR militaristic supremacy enforced by a technocratic elite who produce AI weaponry. These points stand out:
