I think it’s called “horseshoe fact” now





Continuum Ep. 5 | Why Is Ireland So Left Wing? Keith Woods explains the remarkable dominance of left wing politics in Ireland. Contrary to many of the explanations that Ireland's leftism is rooted in "third worldism" or Irish nationalism, Keith argues the answer lies in Ireland's remarkable elite cohesion and their dominance over public life.



Poso bros: "Stop importing rapists, Ireland" Irish left: "Shut up ye Yank! Mind yer bziness!" They can't handle being exposed


Ireland is not a museum or tourist resort for racist Yanks. The imperial arrogance to think that anyone here should gaf about what an American wants to see when they visit our country.

@cwolf2012 @GLNational I'm a 21st century British Latter-day Saint with a Catholic family and Irish ancestry. How on earth am I inspired by Protestant U.S. Southerners from a hundred years ago who attacked blacks, Catholics, Irish people, and Italians?




Most Americans who call themselves Irish aren’t talking about the same thing as the famine Irish of Boston and New York. A huge number are really Scots-Irish — English and Scottish border stock, Protestant frontier people whose ancestors came out of the borderlands, were planted in Ulster, then pushed into Appalachia, Tennessee, Kentucky and the South. Not Dublin. Not Cork. Not the tenements. A harder, older story of border clans, rifles, honour, feuds, distrust of authority and life on the edge of empire. The green beer version of Irish-American identity hides a lot. For millions, the real roots are English, Scottish, Ulster, frontier, Presbyterian, hill country and rebellion. Different people. Different history. Different temperament. 🏴🏴🇬🇧
