Great bunch of lads.
>>18731676Thieves and liars
>>18731679t. brit
>>18731676Only in Ulster.
wild to think Ohio has more landmass than Ireland
>>18731729Prods are shite craic
>>18731871wild to think how little relevance the US has per square mile
>>18731729True.>last part to be conquered by England>origin of the dynasty which produce the most high kings>best mythology>largest body of water>coolest provincial gaelic symbol (red hand)>home of some of the most famous leaders in Gaelic Irish history; Hugh O'Neill, Hugh O'Donnell, Shane O'Neill>home of Saint Patrick's cathedral, historically the centre of Christianity in Ireland>stronghold of the irish patriot movement>birthplace of modern Irish nationalism>birthplace of the late 20th century revival of irish republicanism>home of the two best cities in ireland (belfast and derry)>most anti-israel part of western europeRunner-up is obviously Munster, then Connacht, then Le*nster but Ulster rules supreme.
>speak language of “oppressor”>”free” for a hundred years now, no serious attempts to reclaim their old language>rely on “oppressors” for their entire national security because they are too stupid and lazy to maintain even a single jet fighter squadron to scare off probing Russian bombers>leech off of EU for decades, now when EU needs help they act all high and mighty like the EU never did anything for themI really don’t like these people
>>18731892And yet more in one square mile than in all of both irelands.
>>18732876They are a parasitic people. Negroes of Europe.
>>18732876You hate us cuz you ain't us.
>>18732876>speak language of “oppressor”It was the sole language of any meaningful political, cultural, or economic institution in Ireland since the 18th Century. Mongolot Irish speaking communities were mostly impoverished villages by then.>”free” for a hundred years now, no serious attempts to reclaim their old languageThere absolutely has been an attempt, just a botched one. In a country rife with political+economic instability in the mid 20th Century, replacing a language *everyone* already speaks with one that almost nobody does isn't high on most people's priorities.Unlike other language revivals (Hebrew is usually invoked) there was already a single language spoken by everyone. Ireland was still in the Empire until almost 1950, anon; everything was tied to English.>rely on “oppressors” for their entire national security The ROI is a successor to the Irish Free State. They have no meaningful geopolitical enemies and are heavily opposed to anything that would upset Britain too much.>leech off of EU for decades, now when EU needs help they act all high and mighty like the EU never did anything for themThat's based.
>>18734398Yup, anon. Eviscerated that fella
hilarious how IRL the average Londoner or Liverpudlian or Mancunian in England probably has a neutral or positive view of the Irish (who he might also be a descendant of) but irl it's always this Balkan tier shit banter
responsible for filling dagenham with bame wogsseething against orangemen marching their traditional route yet are fine with wogs and pakis marching in belfast
>>18734516>le liverpool and manchester love the irish but anons on the internet hate themit's so obvious you are a foreigner who has visisted neither of each cities because both of them are some of the only places in england with yearly orange marches where people sing the sash and wave ulster flags you absolute divvy
>>18731676We've got our ups and downs. I'm born and bred Irish myself and it's sad seeing the current state of the country and the absolute lack of backbone and initiative everyone has here. I've seen lads take the piss out of Americans with Irish ancestry coming to learn about the culture and history and then later go on about how Mohamed is just as Irish as me or members of my family who fought and died for our independence. They want the Brits out and the browns in for whatever retarded reason. Presumably due to absorbing the bleeding heart liberalism from the Americans and other Europeans.The distinct laziness and "ah, sure it'll be grand" attitude is currently the biggest flaw in the Irish character. We'll be proper fucked living in a third world shithole if it doesn't change soon.
>>18734541I am Irish and I lived in Manchester for several years, I didn't notice any particular like or dislike for the Irish in Manchester compared to anywhere else in Britain. But I would always get a warm reception in Liverpool or from Liverpudlians I met elsewhere.The only people I would met anywhere in Britain who would ever be anti-Irish are Glaswegians.
>>18734564>I've seen lads take the piss out of Americans with Irish ancestry coming to learn about the culture and history and then later go on about how Mohamed is just as Irish as me or members of my family who fought and died for our independence.That pisses me off so much.Especially since if you go to America or Canada the Irish diaspora will bend over backwards to help you out, it's like being in the Jews.
>>18733850All of the flyover states(i.e. almost all states) put together have less relevance than Ireland.
>>18731676This but unironically
>>18734582If Iowa vanished tomorrow North America would see famine If Ireland vanished tomorrow Apple would move to Luxembourg
>>18734596If Iowa vanished tomorrow it would be the first time that the vast overwhelming majority of the world became aware that it had even existed.
>>18734601More people bought the album of the same name by Slipknot than there are people in Ireland.
I was once in Quebec, in the countryside several miles from Montreal, most people in this community did not speak English Someone asked me where I am from I said Ireland They said where is that?Make of that what you will
I think Collins and Mulcahy-had they been allowed to-could have built a truly good Irish Republic. I know leftists tend to hate Collins him because muh Treaty but ultimately he did the best he could and then some.He and Mulcahy were an incredible duo.
>>18735033>mulcahyqrd?
>>18735060So when people think of Michael Collins, they think of the man who "lead" the IRA's campaign during the War of Independence. Of course, for a decentralised army like the IRA no one man can actually "lead" it, but instead a well oiled machine of people all over the country allow it to thrive. Collins:>Director of IntelligenceOrganised the intelligence war, placed spies, co-ordinated broad goals and strategies for Flying Columns to tackle, and was more or less the road to which almost all IRA operational roads lead back to; if Collins didn't order an action, he likely informed the man who did.>Minister for FinanceCollins was also one of the main logistical heads, running money and arms throughout the "underground Republic" to ensure the IRA had the means to keep up the fight against what was essentially an enemy with unlimited resources.Mulcahy was the other side of the coin; Collins was broad strokes, Mulcahy was fine details.>Decentralised command structureMulcahy was hugely responsible for "standardising" how the IRA operated even as it decentralised completely, making it a very efficient force but one that was impossible to "drive out" in one fell swoop. >General AdministrationThe war was run from a billion offices and safehouses all over Ireland, and Mulcahy was closely involved with their maintenance; the ability for the IRA's "command" to set up shop basically anywhere at a moment's notice is something he worked hard to do.A reddit way to put it is that Collins was the sword and Mulcahy was the pen. Collins' death blackpilled Mulcahy which is likely what drove him to be so ruthless in the civil war, which is mostly why he isn't as fondly remembered.
>>18731676Imagine being a COLONIZED European country lmao
>>18735118England, Scotland, and Wales were colonised too anon. Just earlier.
>>18735343That doesn't count
>>18735389Cope
>>18731871The US is a huge place
>>18731676scum. literally the lowest of the low. pikeys, drunks and thieves with underserved sense of self righteousness and victimhood. The type of people who start fights they can't win in order to play victim afterwards. It's why they feel such a sense of kinship with " Palestinians".
>>18736493israeli spotted
>>18734541The Orange Order are a miniscule group in England, so much so that I bet you the average English person outside those cities genuinely doesn't have a clue they even exist within England and they probably always thought it was some weird Northern Irish only thing. Their existence in the Liverpool area owes itself to the fact that Liverpool is literally the main hub of Irish immigration and their diaspora in the UK.
>>18734576Kinda funny how this phenomen isn't as pronounced in Australia despite Australia being choke full of Irish descendants and present day immigrants. Like we're literally descended from Fenian Convicts, but something like NORAID and pro-IRA gun runners never happened here, while the Americans were delivering Armalites and all sorts of funds
Is it true that there are still AR-10s and AR-15s floating around Ireland among private owners even today?
>>18732872>>Ulster>>most anti-israel part of western europeYou must be joking
>>18737045That's because America has always been a nobler country than Australia
>>18737085YesEveryone knows IRA did not actually decommission their weapons
>>18737150All those murals on the right are in Ulster and painted by people from Ulster. As much as they’d like it to be true "Ulster" does not mean "Protestant Brit ziogoy country", it is merely the northernmost province of Ireland
>>18737150Yes, the opposite side of the spectrum is what I refer to. The Unionists are extremely pro-Israel, but far more politically inept.Israel was called a "Loyal little Jewish Ulster" by Britain for a reason, basically just a golem to maintain their interests in the area. Israel pours money into Unionist parties because they hate the Irish, but they forget that the largest Unionist party as so addicted to corruption that they just swallow it and move on.
