What weapons can an English gentleman use to defend his person and his honor against the vile bogtrotters and Australia-dodgers that seek to waylay him? Stiff upper lip goes without saying.
The british syndicalists choice of weapon is of course the webley revolver.
>>65151604Don't forget the stout cane.

>>65151706I myself carry a stick, find it handily wards off the reprobates with its mere presence.
Many old-fashioned British gentlemen seem to be tough guys who trained in boxing or rowing during their student days.
Your average Anglo-Saxon gentleman, on either side of the pond, has little recourse to physical or pugilistic resistance to the common, or even lesser, Hibernian Troglodyte, due to the incredibly thick skulls and remarkable upper body strength of the average Paddy O'Hooligan. The only real option is a well placed round to the head, delivered from a pocket pistol.
>>65151822Rowing is very much an upperclass sport done by teams at posh colleges.
>>65151823Its remarkable the sort of actual racism that was applied to the irish on both sides of the pond such a short time ago.
>>65151839We need to retvrn to tradition
>>65151540Pic rel.>>65151839It was bad, but understandable, the Irish coming out of the countryside into American and English cities were basically pigs in the parlour near-indigents, and not the sort of people you would want moving in nextdoor. The English had treated Ireland as a real colony for a long time, and the economy and people were utterly abject.

You just have to be mugged for King and Country
>>65151540A bumberchute.
>>65151540Historically, the English favored sending other men to defend their honor, often Scottish and Irish but also Canadian, Australian, American, Indian, and Nepalese.
>>65152797It was common for Irish, Scottish, and Welsh regiments to be about a third or more English
>>65151540A loaded penang lawyer.
>>65151858>The English had treated Ireland as a real colony for a long timeunlike actual English colonies like America, Canada, South Africa and Australia they did more to isolate and enclose economically viable areas and resources rather than exploit and develop them in Ireland, although it was irishmen's fault for neither fighting back hard enough to secure full independence or become protestant and turn into discount Welsh.
>allow some paddies in>Maffia controls your cityTell me the racism was wrong
>>65152870Oh no, 1000% justified. Frankly I have no idea why we stopped being genuinely racist to them and the Italians too. They deserve every bit of it and moret. wop-american
>>65151856My great grandpappy grant killed a man who called him irish in the late 40s georgia
>>65151540The Barrister your father knows
>>65153407Was he Irish?
>>65153407Reasonable crashout, I'd do the same
>>65151829Not him but I'm fairly white trash and I was part of a rowing club (the state school I attended didn't have a row team). It's pretty fun but I don't ever want to use an ergometer ever again unless it's to see if my 2k is still decent
>>65153415Scottish and german, but i keep seeing historians call grant a mick so i dont know whats real anymore>>65153422He worked for the feds after the war cleaning up some crime city. Im sure he got a raise for it lol
>>65151839The degree of it has been severely overstated through pop-history. Your picrel is satire for example
>>65152797and the lower classes. Almost every war was won by throwing the uneducated surplus at the enemy. It was a way of constantly purifying this nation while degrading others. We seem to have stopped doing it the last 80 years though, so I hope it doesn't have a detrimental effect on our great nation.
>>65152759>bumbershoot You'd think it was a britishism because it sounds all whimsical and retarded but 100% all American.
>>65152860>become protestantThis is understandable, if someone told me to convert to Catholicism from Lutheranism I'd tell them to fuck themselves
>>65152928It's like once someone's ancestry is south of Switzerland, it becomes a case by case basis whether they're white or not. Seen so many Italians that look straight up Arab (and behave like it)
>>65153651Are they really trying to say my US Grant is Irish? What book niggers do I need to fight?
>>65154509IDK how this myth keeps coming back. It's like a history 101 misunderstanding of casualty rates in different technological eras reinterpreted into a foreign legion meme. Compare the casualty rates between lieutenants from elite schools and the drafted conscripts or poorer foreign-coded volunteers in WW1 UK if you want a clear counterexample. The nobles got slaughtered compared to the commoners.
>>65155156If he's American like myself, his mind has probably been warped by the obscenely bad public schools we have, history in American schools have a leftist bias. It's a view that's been astroturfed since Vietnam to where now it's accepted without question.It's all about class, class everything, no individuals
>>65154509>Almost every war was won by throwing the uneducated surplus at the enemyMost people throughout history were "uneducated." However, smaller countries like the Swiss or the Dutch that couldn't support a large professional army often conscripted people from civilian life who had trades of their own. >class warfare-tard doesn't know about McNamara's MoronsHow's it been working out for pidorstan? Tossing the poorly equipped and trained dregs of society into unsupported offensives hasn't degraded Ukraine but instead they now have their own domestic cruise missile and drone capabilities and are hunting Russian PMCs in Africa. >he thinks sending young men to their deaths for a few feet of ground is purifying instead of the surest way to destroy your economy and societyYou have to be 18 to post here.
>>65151540I treat swordcanes with the same reverence weebs treat the Katana, give me more shit like Gloomwood>>65155162class is certainly a real thing but yeah even as someone who is a closeted lefty it's way too overstated and focused on to an unhealthy degree that just fosters dehumanizing "us vs them" mentality.
>>65155162Maybe, but that doesn't quite make sense either. If it was a politicized classist interpretation of real data, WW1 would be getting explained as peasant conspiracy to genocide the nobles by herding them into Maxim guns and the American-Vietnamese war an international workers' alliance to exterminate the Ivy League WASPs.I think these myths come from not understanding how the actual dynamics of wars worked and changed between eras. The earlier 20th century liberals who monopolized the textbook industry had smart people but they viewed all military stuff through prejudices created by a Napoleonic military system where 'cannon fodder' is real instead of a dumb joke.
No matter how stif one's lip may be it is unwise (and more importantly unhygenic) for a gentleman to get too close to one's opponent. With this weapon a gentleman may keep their pleasant distance even once they've exhausted their ammunition
>>65155196I'm talking about Vietnam onward when that lens was applied, around the same time there was a massive subversive element in American education. Though you could say we're gaslit about WWII: we are essentially taught that WWII was a rescue mission to save the kikes from Hitler or "the whole world would be speaking German right now"
>watch jeremy brett sherlock holmes>hey waton go down to that lovely country estate and make sure the heiress isnt murdered while i go scout out shit>watson brings his revolver and a box of revovler catridgesWHOA WATSON CARRYING THAT MUCH AMMO?
