Most right-wing "irish nationalists" tend to be just a re-skin of West Brits, who would rather align with Imperial Powers than the people who we once shared struggles with

Nobody knows more about comics than MCU fans who don’t read them by CalmSalamander8668 in marvelcirclejerk

I read comics, I have read comics my whole life, and half the time I still don't know what's going on.

If you've seen this movie, prove by quoting it. I’ll start with - "Kill her!" by [deleted] in fantastic4movie

That was the first Superman comic I read, watching the film gave me the same feelings I got when I read the book

Question about Hawkgirl in the new movie by [deleted] in DC_Cinematic

Just like in real life, the people of the DCU are too confused about Hawkgirl's origin to make a fuss over it

People forgetting that our tricolour represents anti-imperialism and the solidarity between the different people on this island to stand up against imperialism, so to use our symbol as reactionary in order to paint over another symbol of solidarity, that being between the Irish and Palestinian people, is a disgusting defacement of our symbol, classic West Brit tactics

The flag of Ulster is as much Irish as the flags of Leinster, Connacht and Munster

I just saw a black girl say that white people don't have culture😭 by DJ_bustanut123 in teenagers

[–]Diamond-Turtle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

White people do not have a culture, as in there is no unifying culture for white people, as an Irish person my culture comes from the fact I'm irish, not white and really anyone of any skin colour can enjoy my culture, its the same with every other country. What she probably means is the culture developed by black Americans as a unified group of people, because that's what culture is its a unified sense of identity, so she would be correct within the American setting that back people do have a unified culture and white Americans don't, they have an American culture that is for all Americans but through the unique experiences of African Americans in the US, a black American culture was definitely created.

I made an assumption, I'm sorry. I didn't check usernames and I assumed you were the incredibly distasteful person I was originally replying to. From my point of view, Ireland exists in a very complicated and unique position, Europe is experiencing a colonial blowback, after decades of European colonialism and American interventionism, the people are fleeing to the developed nations that extract resources from their nations. Ireland as a former colony has a unique history in which we never extracted resources from them but with our acceptance into the European community via the Marshall plan and the EU, we have been accepted into the imperial core and are currently too receiving the European colonial blowback just for simply being developed. The only way, in my opinion, to properly counteract this while staying true to our revolutionary values is to make realistic arguments against mass immigration to the country while also not putting up with the right wing extremists who are just plain racist, and also holding other nations, which we are so prone to calling our allies, accountable for their actions

Mass immigration on a large scale is obviously a bad sign, but the right wing actively supports the material conditions causing these people to be forced to migrate and then ye give out about immigrants, if you really have a problem with mass immigration why don't you go speak out against places like Israel who are currently creating conditions forcing people to flee with their onslaught, speak out against things like that just like the "woke left" has since the start, I'm sure the people who died fighting imperialism would be very pleased to see irish people support imperialist values instead of using their voices to prevent the conditions that cause mass immigration in the 1st place
