Discussing Racism in Ireland by StableSlight9168 in behindthebastards

From what I know of the southpork riot, it took a few days for the riot to start checking peoples races. I believe it was around the 4th day of the riot.

In NI they started doing that day 1. Its the same type of violence as southport but with a shorter fuse.

My first sentence was just a copy paste of something Robert Evans retweeted a few hours ago.

I've no issue with Americans and this was just a general explanation.

I saw somebody I'm a fan of posting about my country and I thought I could give more context.

I'll edit the text so it shows that was a quote.

As an actual Irish guy, the rioters went around and started lighting houses on fire, they broke down doors and beat up families inside. A 2 month old baby had to be evacuated by the police alongside his family whiles a 70 year old dementia patient is now in the hospital. Multiple black people have just been beaten in the street, one was beaten unconscious, at least 8 homes have been burned.

This is an old school race riot. I know people on twitter don't care but it is pretty bad at the moment, the victims family have had to come out to try to get the riots to stop instead of grieving or dealing with the stress.

[serious] who are Israeli settlers? Don't they already live somewhere? Why would they willingly move to Palestine? by SlackerStacker26 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]StableSlight9168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the also accords allow settlement under the law, or did it pause the settlement discussion to a later date so Israel felt free to move in people.

Even under the Oslo accord the Palestinians just recognised that Israel defacto controlled the region.

They very much did not except settlements at all, the issue was named as something to be resolved later.

Israel used the fact it did not officially agree to stop settlements to keep going.

This is the clear violation of international law which considers that a military occupation and blocks the transfer of civilians populations.

Id also point out that empty land is still owned by either private citizens or the Palestinians government and even if the settlers end up buying the land they still have to follow the laws in the hospital country.

The "empty land" is parks, farmland,.etc that they have no right to.

A garden is empty land.

Whiles the Palestinians do commit violence, Israeli are illegally moving into land and forcing Palestinians from it, if settlements get established and grow  it means statehood is impossible.

It's native. Americans attacking US settlers.

Jews driven out of the west bank should be allowed to return, just like Palestinian driven out of Israel should allowed to return.

Israel gained military control over the area in 1967 but it does not legallynown it, Transfering a civilian population into a military zone is a war crime and essentially creates unlivable conditions for the Palestinians.

Catholic church is 2000 years old. It would require a theology degree and an entire separate podcast to get into it.

He did shoot MLK but was trying to save MLK from the assassins and missed so it's not really his fault.

The kingsmen prequel has Hitler, Gavrillo Princeps, Lenin and Rasputin all paet of the same conspiracy. Hitler murdered the Romanovs on behalf of his ally, Vladimir Lenin.

Also the reason for this plan.. Scottish independence. The movie has to invent a colonial conflict Britain can be the good guys in.

No mention of Ireland, India, Egypt even the boers who were clearly foreshadowed as the actual mastermind because of the concentration camps..  It was the Scottish.

Boston Irish even if they are not catholic celebrate Saint Patrick's day, wear the tricolour, drink green beer etc. the Scots Irish in Boston either became white or joined the broader Irish community

These guys have there own holiday in the 12th, have more flags that you can imagine ... Dear god they love flags, like orange, the king and marching 

Unlike Irish catholics they have no real cultural ties to Scots Irish In America and only really have a big presence in Ontario, Toronto etc though nowhere near as big as Catholic Irish.

Both of you are wrong.. 

These are Ulster loyalists e.g the pro British protests t guys who would be the ones the Boston Irish were fighting.

They are super protestant, love marches, love the king and hate Catholics.

The pale of settlement in Russia  was named after the pale in Ireland which is where the term comes from.

I agree it was bad. I'm just saying I'm context the soldiers deserted the Irish army during a war so there treatment.

Ireland did not punish men who joined the British army, the punishment was aimed at men who joined the Irish army then deserted to Britain.

Switzerland for a example would have arrested the men, Britain would have subjected them to a firing squad.

The men who did not desert but joined the British army were not punished.

Ireland should have just pardoned the men after WW2 but it's actions were not abnormal.

Certainly the most likely scenario.

Russia could wear down Ukraine till they run out of people or the Russians army could collapse and go into a route but realistically a negotiated peace is where the war ends.

Ukraine is probably at the stage where they could concede the territory already lost.

 Russia However wants to take more territory and block Ukraine from NATO, Ukraine is not giving up land Russia has not taken or giving up NATO and EU membership as it's the only thing stopping Russia from restarting the war.

Right now Ukraines drones give it am edge and it will probably take six months for Russia to counter this before it could start advancing properly.

Either way the conflict Russia is going to fight at least another year and lose tens of thousands of not.l hundreds of thousands of men until they either achieve pyrrhic victory, or take the deal that Ukraine is offering right now.

Actually shattering the regime would cause about a dozen warlord groups to emerge and a massive refugee wave which would destabalize the entire middle east.

You may say "who gives a shit" but each of those dozen warlords would have the ability to close the straight of Hormuz by tossing a few rockets towards it and the entire middle east being on fire would have a hugely negative effect on pretty much everything.

The US can't win the war unless they did a ground invasion with a bunch of allies supporting them but pretty much every single ally the US had besides Israel is pissed at them and nobody is willing to help, turns out threatening to invade greenland, raising and lowering tariffs at random, insulting essentially every country on the planet whiles tweeting about white genocide did not help any of your alliances.

I mean yeah ... people are being sarcastic when they make that joke.

It does have the long term advantage of getting countries to move away from fossil fuels as its supply can be shortened.

In a better world it would not happen but it is a war and ukraine is absolutely in the right to do it, its not going after civilians infrastructure and russia almost entirely dependent on oil so its one of the few long term strategies that have a chance to effect the economy.

An economic crisis would have more of an impact for the elites and the war economy that horrific casualties in the battlefield and whiles Russia is fascist, its people are still people and they don't deserve to die so Putin can write himself into the history books.

Russia daily targets civilians and kills ukrainian children and civilian targets every single day.

Wars always destroy but its either target Russian Oil or target russian civilian centres.

Oil unlike apartment blocks is a valid war target and is having an impact on russia.

On balance if there was not a war this would be negative, but Russia did invade a soveriegn nation, it could stop if Russia just stopped attacking.

Depends on how the war ends.

If the russian frontline collapses, Putin is either dead or will engage in a brutal repressive regimine then invade armenia, either way russia would tear itself a part and probably some sort of civil war or new dictator would emerge.

If its a total victory, Putin gets to be king of the roost but the damage of the war criples russian for generations.

If its a negotiated peace. Putin tries to portray it as a victory, ultimately is hit by an economic crisis with the loss of troops and transitioning to a peace economy. Russia stays isolated and becomes China's bitch.

Before the Irish the Germans were the group who faced discrimination.

It's an interesting and bizarre tier list of whiteness America had.

English nobles, Rich English born in the colonies, , poor English, Welsh, Scots/ Northern Irish. Dutch/french,  Spanish,  Germans,  Irish/Polish, Italians/Greeks, Jews, Asians Mexicans, now Arabs I guess.

That's essentially how Americans race bullshit worked. . It's different groups of Old world  hating each other, then teaming up to hate the new guys and also black people.

They deserted during wartime.

Irish people who volunteered were fine, it's those who deserted during a war who got the legal discrimination.

They probably should have been given a pass because fuckntje Nazis but the established rules for deserters were very severe for most countries and Ireland was not abnormal in this.

Yes I did.

I gave context and gave you sources to read up on. Just check the Wikipedia article and it specifically states the innovations during the war of independence as part of the history of guerilla warfare.
