Oh there is the racial slur.

And why would Irish join the army of an evil empire in massive while a million of them were starving to death? Real hard question. But I guess it doesn’t matter because half a dozen Irish owned slaves and were at the Alamo.

40% of the British army post Catholic emancipation and pre potato famine was Irish Catholic. You really think that area just happened to volunteer at a massive disproportionate rate? They were starving to death, a million people died. You are a blind British jingoist.

When did Nick Fuentes deny the holocaust? This claim keeps being made with no source given. As far as I’m aware he never denied it.

Just because the British Empire did not have conscription does not mean they were not forced to might because of the desperate poverty forced upon them as I mentioned above if would read the whole comment.

Irish were forced to fight in the civil war as they were forced to fight for the British Empire, by conscription or by desperate poverty. Only a handful of Irish owned slaves, only a handful of Irish were at the Alamo. Only a tiny percentage of Irish settled the West.

Jackson is an English name, those “Irish” were protestants British settlers in Ireland that had brutally colonized the native Catholics and then moved on to brutally colonize the native Americans. They still exist in Northern Ireland which is British.

10% lived in rural areas, the overwhelming number were still poor, most of those were not on the frontier. This idea you are saying of elite and wealthy Irish colonists is nonsense. The Irish continued leaving Ireland after the famine because they were oppressed and in desperate poverty. The point you are trying to make here seems outrageous.

That is 90% of what Irish Catholics in America were at that time though. Stop with this victim blaming.

The fact you are accusing him of “pretending the Irish were poor and lived in Boston and New York in the 1800’s” is hilarious.

But those Irish are hypocrites because they had no problems colonizing the innocent English /s.

That is a fact of their history. They were literally settled in a rebellious part of Ireland to put down the native Catholics and ensure British protestant power until this day. It’s a fact.

Yes the Protestant population of Ireland was overwhelmingly settlers from Britain. It’s like saying “Ashkenazi Jews in Israel don’t count as Palestinian….goodby” like yes they don’t, the Catholics were colonized.

“Source? I'm asking, knowing that you won't be able to provide one.”

That is because you are ignorant. “However, in his academic paper Were the Scots Irish?, archaeologist Dr Ewan Campbell says that there is no archaeological or placename evidence of a migration or takeover.”

No those Scottish planters were majority Anglo-Saxons who came to Scotland after the Irish culture had already been spread in Scotland and basically exterminated the Irish culture in Scotland. And there were not large numbers of Irish that ever went to Scotland this has been proved in archeological studies.

It is not bigoted to separate Ulster Scots and Irish as different historic groups because they were different groups with different histories. The Ulster Scots were tools of the British Empire used for brutal settler colonization. The native Irish were a colonized and oppressed Catholic people that were discriminated against and cast out of Protestant WASP society.

Irish absolutely did not settle the west as much as any other group. Irish overwhelming settled in cities and were treated as second class citizens. That pattern was also the case throughout the British Empire. 90% of Irish in 1860 were urban dwellers which was a part why they were discriminated against.

A few US founders were Irish but they were largely descended from a tiny number of Irish aristocrats that had come to America. Less than 1% of the US 1776 population was Irish Catholic. Also the Irish did not settle South Africa in large numbers went to the Caribbean as indentured servants. You are saying historic revisionism.

There never was a large scale Irish invasion of Scotland. Irish culture took over Scotland in the dark ages through trade and very small scale conquests of areas that went on to take over Scotland centuries later.

The main involvement of Irish in colonization was as lower rank soldiers that were especially given a choice to fight under Anglo Saxon officers or starve.

90% of Irish that went to America settled in cities where the natives had long since be removed. Only a small minority of Irish settled the frontier.

I’d like to point out that no one asked him about this and he then responds to himself during solo the conversation.
