The IRA makes me proud to have Irish in me. Not that genetics means shit
Not to burst anyones bubble... But sometimes those with Celtic pride or IRA tats, and or gravitate to the kind of dogma, atleast in America, may or may not be a white supremacist... Spoke to my mother about it and that's what she had told me, haven't fact checked it but she did hangout a lot in southie (south Boston) at a lot of bars so yeah. Anyways cheers, make sure when making a gift for a Brit put nails in it for shrapnel. Toodles
I knew an Irish American - born and raised in the US. He was showing me his air soft stuff and I casually mentioned the IRA for some reason, and that made him excited and he tried to befriend me. His whole personality was “hehehe don’t start the car!!!”
He was also extremely reactionary and annoying. Constantly complaining about democrats being socialists. Also proud that he had ancestors on both sides of the civil war. The American one. He also visited Britain once and hung out with some old ass British veteran - he didn’t say whether the vet was IRA, but considering that was his whole personality so he would’ve said something, I’m gonna assume that the veteran was from the British army lol.
Are Irish Americans as cucked as Italian Americans? The latter are obsessed with Columbus Day despite it existing to appease Italians who were angry that white Americans were murdering Italian migrants. I know Irish Americans would later be a dominant group within the police.
Irish Americans are generally held with disdain among Irish people, because they're so far from being Irish but insist upon it so much. So many of them talk about their Irish heritage if they have one Irish ancestor, even though they usually have more english or German ancestors than Irish. It's just white Americans with no sense of identity finding one thing in their heritage and deciding to make that their identity, without having any knowledge of what Ireland is actually like. The most obnoxious ones will come to Irish people expecting applause for having Irish ancestors, but they won't know extremely basic stuff like what currency Ireland uses or that "Patty's Day" is not what Irish people call St Patrick's Day.
And we, in turn, love giving the Irish shit about it because it's really funny that they're so put out by their weird cousins.
Oh, hey, it's almost St. Pat's. I need to go get some Heinechen and green food dye. Should be good for a few pages of hateposts on /r/Ireland.
Hey some of us Italians do honor our heritage. I can pay bella ciao on the guitar and my first gun was a Beretta
Yeah, a lot of Irish Americans are pretty cucked. A lot of early Irish politics in America was reactionary fighting against other immigrant groups and minorities. Ethnic political machines controlled Chicago and a bunch of East Coast cities. Tons of East Coast cops have been Irish since before they invented cops.
There's jokes going around about joyless anti-communists sitting in church on sunday passing a hat so a bunch of secular socialist terrorists can by guns from a weird guy in the Med so they can create a scoailist republic.
he was born in Cork though?? that's not even northern ireland, that's just regular ireland?
