@BenjaminPoser @raz_sauber_ Cool story, bro. But it's utter nonsense!

Irish hatred of the British has been one multi-century-long suicide. I don’t mean to excuse all English behavior in Ireland, but James Joyce, who loved Jews, saw this coming decades earlier, and “Ulysses” is partially his way of showing that institutionalized victim mentality is social pancreatic cancer. In particular, the Irish blaming the Jews for being drunk, broke, unemployed, unemployable, irresponsible wife-beaters, to Joyce, was the ultimate expression of his former country’s refusal to build itself up, out its degradation.

In May 1945, as the scale of Nazi atrocities was already known, Éamon de Valera - the Prime Minister of Ireland and widely considered a founding father of the Irish nation - went to the German embassy in Dublin and signed a condolence book following Adolf Hitler’s death. He offered condolences to the German ambassador, Eduard Hempel - not to the victims, but to the regime that carried out the Holocaust. At the same time, some private citizens in Ireland sent messages and even postcards mourning Hitler. And today, they’re obsessively focused on Israel

@Beerguzzler2 @DerryCelt1888 @bog_gary The Irish provinces and their names are ancient, being in existence and use long before the Norman invasion. The Normans did start the process of dividing the provinces into counties. They started with Dublin, appointing a sheriff to impose their legal system. Ulster is Uladh.

@DerryCelt1888 @bog_gary Provinces were created by the English you buck ejit

Just looked up the census for Ulster... Another L for unionism

@TheNewReview2 Love it!

Here's my Easter offering. It's called 'The Second Coming of Christ'. I couldn't upload the full version here so I'll put a YouTube link below it for anyone who wants to find out what happened to him the second time round..

@BernieSanders Bernie, the best president that the US regretfully never had!! Good health to you, Sir. The world would have been much safer now and America too.😪

The Palestinian people have suffered unbelievably. >45,000 killed. >100,000 injured. Healthcare, educational system, housing— all destroyed. Trump's response? Forcibly remove 2.2 million people from their homes and turn Gaza into a billionaires' paradise. I don't think so.

@library_MU Is IT support available at the library counter today?

@DasRgen4 1. Proof of location??? 2. Just because it says bovril on the bus, doesn't mean the bus is made from bovril. Fake!!!!!!

@KeithWoodsYT As recorded and documented by the English establishment of the day and now preserved in Trinity College Dublin. Available online for free here, 1641.tcd.ie English media at the time made great use of anti Irish propaganda in whipping up massacre stories from hearsay.

3/12: One of the earliest examples of atrocity propaganda was during the Irish rebellion of 1641. Reports were sent to England of massacres of the innocent by the rebels, and there were later used to justify Cromwell's slaughter of captured Irish rebels.

Today, we are witnessing the creation of atrocity propaganda in real-time. What is atrocity propaganda, and how has it been used to win support for war? A thread: 🧵 1/12

NHS my arse indeed! The Lancet ranks 195 countries health services below. Ireland's comes in at 11th in the world: the UK's NHS comes 23rd, why the f**k would we want to adopt the NHS? Cop on. irishtimes.com/opinion/2023/0… The data and evidence 👇 thelancet.com/action/showPdf…

@Damian_Kanarek @secretsqrl123 Spot on, Sir. How lucky for us that Ukr fought back. Now there needs to be NO ambiguity as to how they are fully supported with all they need to end this nightmare.

Multiple people have said that russia is fighting this war using its soviet inheritance... That works ONCE... Once thats done, it is done... Yes, it wont end overnight, it wont end in a week.... But russia is now completely on the defensive without millions of rounds ready to be fired.... Arent we lucky, in NATO, that Ukraine decided to actually resist? That russia spent its one collection of conventional arms on a useless, pointless imperial conquest attempt?

looks like i have a new fan that is following me now that ayden is now terrified of me and knows im not playing any more.... here is the deal russia at its current peake can not clear 30K a month in heavy artillery shell production, FACT they currently have only one factory FACT they are trying to get another up but they dont have the machinery for it... fact of the 13 million shells they had they have fired over 10M.. fact the 13 million were a mix of 152, 125, 122, 130, 110, 100, 85, and 57mm shells. they were all not heavy artillery... fact of the shells they are making now many missfire or are of bad production resulting in many rounds not working or damaging the cannons. FACT as long as they still have the plant operational they will have rounds. but its a single plant.. any explosion or accident will end production... and the SBU knows this. the remaining rounds are in siberia and not in great shape, they have been sitting outside for 30 years and have to be refurbished,,, this takes time and will delay much of the ammo getting to the front.. fact N. korea and china have not provided 1 artillery round, and will not. they will not back russia... fact iran does not have a large production facility for ammo and bought what it needed mostly from china, russia, and ukraine for its 152s and 122. of them they really dont use the russian guns and keep them in storage.. the ones they have. fact russia has bought rounds from some african countries, but the countries refuse to give a export permit for them. and turkey will not let them be shipped in. fact russian guns have a max range of 25km (152mm 2S19), while the 155mm guns shoot 40KM.. fact... in the last 10 years russia has made 12 artillery guns... fact ukraine is getting in about 120-200 artillery guns per month right now from countries all over the world, and this is speeding up as it goes along. far more than losses. while ru is struggling with a single plant western production that is ramping up every min of every day in.... US CA UK S. AF TU AUS CZ PO EG SK JA PAK IT FIN SW GER SP RO and so many other places, all going to ukraine... so please who is having the issues?

@neilojim1972 *upside down V fence!

@neilojim1972 the narrative. He built an upside down fence on the inside of the hole made by the English in the walls with cannon at the tip. It's was loaded with chain which when fired caused maximum damage to the oncoming waves of English who could not escape because of the fencing to the

Not my war but OTD 1650 Cromwell takes the beating of his life at Clonmel. Several assault waves are slaughtered by Hugh Dubh O'Neill's men. Trapped inside a bag-shaped retrenchment inside the breach, 1.5-2.5k of New Model army are cut down. That night Irish garrison escaped

@neilojim1972 Ireland shortly after. I wonder why?

@neilojim1972 sides and the pressure from their own from behind. Information could not get out so the continued to attack and die in huge numbers. O'Neill had about 1000 Ulster Gaels but ammunition was out so he escaped towards Limerick. The mayor did a good job in tricking Cromwell who left

😍This could be our #Today’ story A team of a Fire Brigade from @DubFireBrigade @DubCityCouncil has been in #Sevilla attending some rescue conferences. #RescueGreatDay This morning, they were leaving towards Málaga Airport, driving along A92 and when they were close to Alcalá de Guadaíra they found a biker who had just fallen from his motorbike. Without any hesitation, they protected the area, posted signs and got on with it. The flight to #Dublin could wait. The middle age biker was unconscious, with multiple injuries and he couldn’t breathe. The team of six paramedics started to help the injured and they managed to stabilise him. He began to breathe and they certainly avoided him a respiratory failure and a cardiac arrest. A team of #E061 arrived immediately and they took care of the situation with the support of those who started the assitance. We hope the biker recovers soon. He cannot imagine who saved his life; the one who was holding his hand encouraging him, or the one who was holding his head to avoid any spinal injury, they are 3.000Kms far away from #Sevilla. These kind of stories happen when the vocation for public service has no limit and goes further more. Thanks a lot mates.

@Trollstoy88 Staged!!

The capture of an Ukrainian soldiers by RuAF from the Eastern Military District in the Zaporozhye area. These POWs were smart enough to raise their hands on time instead of waging war for foreign interests against a brother nation.
