Cromwell went easy on the Irish, all things considered.

>>18466208Whatever it will be, it won't be white.
>>18466208The Irish language will go extinct in yours. The only thing left distinguishing Ireland from Britain will be larping as papists long after everyone has stopped believing in Christianity, as well as the chip on their shoulder.
>>18466208All pools show that the number of people supporting irish nationalism is declining in north ireland
>>18466228Didn't they reach a majority for the first time only recently? I guess that since there's a major realignment in UK politics it would affect NI too though
>>18466233A majority of seats in Westminster, not a majority of voters. Had more to do with the DUP collapsing and votes getting split between all the Unionist parties and Alliance. The Nationalists actually lost votes.
>>18466228>All poolsYes, we’ll drown these filthy bongs in pools again :)
>>18466233Catholics became a majority not long ago but both irish and british societies have become so thoroughly secularized that it won't drive opinion if that's what you meant. If you meant elected seats, UK elections are funky. Starner wom 60% of the seats with 30% of the seats.
>>18466174The sectarian atrocities prior to the Cromwellian invasion happened in both directions.When the 1641 coup failed (which was designed speficially to avoid bloodshed wherever possible) Dublin Castle (incorrectly) assumed that the Catholic Gaels wanted to kill all the Protestant colonists, and sent troops out of Dublin-who struck out against the Catholics in the region. Seeing this, Catholic Gaels (incorrectly) believed that the colonists were coming to kill them all-and the massive wave of violence and atrocities began. The massacres of Protestants were horrendous-higher estimates put the number off dead at around 12,000 (when deaths from exposure or disease are counted)-but even these numbers were massive inflated in London to whip up anger. The most ridiculous thing is that the plotters weren't even rebelling for Irish independence-they merely demanded the implementation of the Graces and restoration as their rights under the English Crown, which had been promised to them long prior.Anyway the rest of this thread is /pol/slop so I doubt we'll have much in the way of meaningful chatter.
