We tend to poke fun at African-Americans larping as ancient Egyptians or Moors, or Anglos and Slavs larping as Ancient Greece or Rome, but one "we wuzzing" that doesn't get memed enough is the Irish and Scots claiming how they were peaceful nature-loving matriarchal indigenous tribes who were invaded, enslaved, and genocided by the brutal Anglo settlers, which is funny, because while others desperately claim rich and influential imperial empires who ruled others, they want to be seen as noble savages. Ignoring the fact that they played an overwhelmingly big role in imperial Britain's army, and many of them were slave owners.

30% of the british were genocided by the germans and 10% were genocided by the danes.

>>18245489
The Irish would rather blame all their problems on imperialism than actually do something worthwhile with their shitty nation

>SAAAR ITS NOT DA ENGLISH EMPIRE ITS DA BRITISH EMPIRE
I wonder where all the welsh and gaelic speaking countries and colonies are then?
>Doesn't get memed enough
No, any time the british empires wrongdoings are brought up this shit is dragged up to muddy the waters. Infact it's so well known that it's completely buried in relevance the Irish's oppression and resistance that used to be so well known and synonymous every independence struggle, communist nation and leftists constantly glazed the Irish.

Like the sepoys and the gurkhas? Guess Asia was never colonized lol.

Same tier of denialism as "it was only da Jooz!" or "Africans sold us the slaves!" or "Islamic slavery was worse!"

Holocaust denialist tier idiocy you know is as untrue as.

Anti-Irish racism was and continues to be a more serious and real issue than antisemitism, on the same level as anti black racism without any samesuch antiracist institutions

By what metric is current day Ireland shit in comparison to the UK?
>>
>>18245566
Britain speaks it's own language, has it's own culture and is not a bootleg Ireland speaking Irish and Ireland doesn't own half of Britain??? Yeah, Britain won.

It's because of Americans who think they're Irish and Scottish. They're retarded

How about the mesolithic Europeans?

Not to mention that Scotland willingly joined the Union
>>
>>18245634
no it didn't. scottish nobles only agreed to union after the kingdom went bankrupt, or at least nearly went bankrupt, due to a failed attempt at colonizing central america
they owed huge amounts of money to english lenders who were willing to go easy on debt collection if scotland united with england

>>18245489
Some of the most loyal British imperialists were of Celtic descent.

kinda funny how Irish independence is this sacred cow for Leftists but things like Lithuanian independence or Ukrainian independence are Verboten and slandered as "Nazism" in Orthodox Marxist circles

This seemingly simplistic dumb answer is actually 100% right.
Being identified as a 'victim of historic oppression' gives you social credit these days, that's it.
Being a Victim = street cred and being one of the "good guys", therefore Scottish Nationalists nowadays shamelessly use this to pursue their own interests.
It's increasingly common around Europe, in Iberia you have minorities like the Catalans and Basques going we wuz oppressed too. Bonus points for Galicians who go we wuz Celts and then hilariously copying Goidelic/Irish traditions like Samhain despite Celt-Iberians not being Gaels and Iberia not speaking a Celtic language for about 2000 years now.

Reminder that the Scots invented Capitalism and caused the Irish potato famine.

Look at you seething like some retard over something some dumb American bitch said

>>18245575
Britain speaks a language composed of the other languages of the invaders and rapists of Britain and for some reason you get British autists online identifying as Anglo Saxons even though they're only about 30% Anglo Saxon at most. It's funny. At least the Irish are the same people they were in the iron age and don't larp as something they're not.
