Can anyone from the

brigade tell me which metric you're using? We rank around 145th in the world population density table. Had we English levels of density we'd have a population of 35 million. How are we full? Wouldn't

be a more suitable hashtag to use?
Can you all seriously just stop saying this utter bollocks?
No, the ‘Brits’ are not operating these protests against migrant centres. No, FFG are not doing this in some 5D Chess move to build up anti-Sinn Féin resentment.
You know what’s happening? A large section of the…
Ireland is the 8th most democratic country in the world. We are one of only 24 nations that

considers "full democracies" in its latest Global Democracy Index.
Popular satisfaction with democracy here is very high & has grown in recent decades. 🇮🇪👏
Fun fact on Yeats:
He got into an an autistic occultist magic battle with Aleister Crowley where they were 'Pitting White Magic Against Black Magic' - which resulted in Yeats kicking Crowley down a flight of stairs
"He had the outlook of those who reach Fascism by the aristocratic route. He is a great hater of democracy, of the modern world, science, machinery, the concept of progress—above all, of the idea of human equality.”

take a look at this light map of Western Europe, illustrating population density me and tell us what it means
If there's one thing I've learned from another day of wall to wall abuse from Patriots, it's that if their 'great replacement theory' is in fact true - the national IQ level is about to drastically improve.
The same people who were simping and getting on their knees for Black Lives Matter protests for an incident across the ocean in America in 2020 shouting ‘No Justice No Peace’ as they looted and burned American cities are now calling working class Dubs ‘skangers, wasters, scum’…
Bunch of Irish boomers are travelling around the country on a “Sovereign Voyage” wherein they dock into random towns, find a library, and begin shouting at library staff if they find “This book is Gay - Juno Dawson” before getting back on boat to the next town to repeat
The White House was designed by an Irish Catholic
Empire State Building came from Irish-American Al Smith, construction began St Patrick’s Day
30,000 Irish died digging the New Basin Canal
Irish have most medals of honour of any ethnic group proportion wise
BREAK: Gript Media can confirm, via official sources, that the person of interest in the stabbing incident in Dublin today in which four people plus the assailant were injured, is understood at this stage by Gardai to be an Algerian national.
You’re allowed to say Ashling’s murder was caused by the Catholic Church, Irish Mammies, and the inherent toxicity of Irishmen
But dare comment that the perpetrator moved here despite previous convictions and was given a house by the state and on disability allowance…and…
In 2006, leaders of the Church of England claimed that having the Manchester Cathedral in the game " Resistance: Fall of Man" was an act of "desecration" due to shooting inside the Cathedral, making legal threats to Sony
lol
The thing is though the Soviet Union went around mass killing Whales to meet quotas and fucked up the Aral Sea, so it’s not like capitalism has been unique in ecological disaster
Maybe Castro’s government was more ecological friendly idk
Black history in Ireland is when blacks came in 2003 because there was an economic boom and started producing Londonesque Drill music & calling Irish ppl racist

Thread of Irish Colleges found around Europe.
Most of them were set up during the Counter-Reformation era.
1. Irish College in Paris, founded 1578, closed briefly during French Revolution (original library lost)
Today it hosts Polish seminary + Irish cultural centre
That time Ian Paisley heckled Pope JP II, calling him the Anti-Christ in the European Parliament and the former crown prince of Austria-Hungary, 77-year-old Otto von Habsburg, punched him in the face and pushed him out of the chamber
Those Irish Boomers went back out on their Sovereign Voyage and some Derek started throwing rocks at them and hoisting an LGBT flag which resulted in them capturing the flag and pinning the Derek down on the ground LMFAO

No to NATO, put Irish neutrality in the constitution. 🕊️
This morning CPI activists did a banner drop on Ha'penny bridge with a message of peace and neutrality.
Ireland does not have a moral obligation to house the world because of the Famine. Stop using a tragic event in our history to blackmail us into accepting an infinite number of people across the globe.
No other country has this egregious standard on them.
#IrelandisFull
I’m really sick of this, and it’s embarrassing when other Europeans look at our politics and see this childishness.
Another example of this stupidity is the below leaflet.
The Leaflet claims the ‘far right’ want to bring Ireland back to the ‘days of Dev’s Catholic Theocratic’…
*Politicians and NGOs state that Ireland is a white supremacist country with institutional racism*
*people push back against this*
“Awh feck off ye YankBrain tosser yer all a bloody pack of feckin whinging eejits. Importing this culture wars bollocks, feckin state of ye clowns”
The best way to achieve a 32 county United Ireland is to import people who have no historic connection to Ireland and are here for purely economic incentive.
These people will surely care about a centuries blood feud.
@uberboyo
No, this is just cultural supremacy at play.
Are 20th century Irish Nationalists the ‘original woke’ because they removed statues of Queen Victoria, King Billy and Lord Nelson?
We Irish have always considered ourselves a race.
Read the writings of Pearse, Connolly, MacNeill, de Blácam, Mitchel, Davis, Moran, the Gaelic poets stretching back from 18th down to 12th centuries….
They’re use to be Irish Race Conventions ffs lol

My tall, freckly, redhair type came here from the Steppes after Ice Age and displaced the dark-skinned Irish indigenous from North Africa.
All written in our annals too.

Where are you from ?
It's worth remembering that until 2004 most schools in Ireland were obliged to close today - Dec 8th - because it was a Catholic 'holy day of obligation'. Here's my report from '04, when some primary schools defied the bishops & opened. Months later the bishops backed down.
Bank of Ireland have had a major glitch that caused their app to be down and now you can withdraw thousands of euro from ATMs even with €0 balance in what is now a GTA infinite money glitch
I really hate ‘the Irish went everywhere’ talking point because it implies the Irish going everywhere was inherently good for Ireland itself.
As much as I like our diaspora, the Irish going everywhere was not a good thing for Ireland.
It is a major reason why we have been so…
Why do these people act like it’s the 1970s when it’s 2023 and Sinn Féin are in Stormont, recruiting for the PSNI and going to Royal Family tea parties and coronations?
What do you expect working class Dubs to even do with that? Also, did you forget the Love Ulster 2006 riots in…
I was looking through the list of doctors found guilty of professional misconduct over the last ten years in Ireland.
75 of the 94 doctors have distinctly foreign names. Some of the names excluded are questionable while two doctors were afforded anonymity.
The reports linked to…
In the 1930s, an organisation known as the Irish Monarchist Society, whose members included Francis Stuart and Osmonde Esmonde, plotted to overthrow the Irish Free State and establish an independent Irish Catholic monarchy under a member of the O'Neill dynasty

Celts are not only on average huge lefties, they are also ugly on average, upturned noses, squashed potato looking faces. OG losers club, don't expect them ever to be on the right side of anything
"Heh, you Irish did all that fighting just to be ethnically replaced a hundred years later 🤓"
"You should've submitted to the British crown and have the exact same outcome half a century sooner, but under a different flag 🤓"
Roughly 10M people have emigrated from Ireland since 1800 we are a nation of immigrants.
We’ve spread across the globe; built cities, families and communities.
We’ve no right to deny the same to anyone deciding to come here to build our cities, families and communities.
🧵Thread for those Learning Irish
When learning Irish, one of the things never explained to me was how to actually pronounce words (lol). I normally tried pronouncing a word I see as it would be pronounced in English.
For example - ‘samhradh’ - do I pronounce the ‘m’ like in…
1. Ireland is a Nation, not an economic zone nor some numbers game.
2. Not all immigrants are the same, for example Africans have the highest unemployment rates, with studies by UCD scratching their heads to discover why.
"Immigrants make the hosts country rich. In the US, 40 per cent of Fortune 500 companies were founded by first- or second-generation immigrants. 25% of all Irish start-ups have been founded by foreigners. Immigrants are “job creators” not “job takers”
Shout out to the
#IrelandBelongsToTheIrish
brigade this morning, who have fucked up one of the biggest shopping days for many hard working Irish retailers in the city centre today. And most likely many days to come. Absolute thugs.
#IrelandisFull
indeed… too full of you lot.
Catholicism should be in Irish schools, otherwise you’re spitting on the dead of the thousand of our martyrs and ignoring the true beauty of our history.
“Religious schools” and “school masses” should not be a thing.
Religion is anti-education. It has no valid authoritative role in any educational setting.
Want to learn about religion? Fine. Go to Sunday school.
How many would? 😒
Today marks the 1010th anniversary of Brian Boru’s victory against the Foreigners at Clontarf:
“He [Brian Boru] hanged and killed and destroyed the robbers, thieves and plunderers of Ireland. After the banishment of the foreigners from all Ireland, and after Ireland was reduced…
The fact the Irish State doesn’t take language revival seriously is in itself a summation of the joke that it is. It will never be a serious State in any matter until it addresses this fundamental issue. All other failures stem from this when you really think about it.
Why?…
Was Sinn Féin in 1963 controlled by Loyalists when it had a document stating that the EEC (now EU) was a Freemasonic Plot to mass import foreigners to the disadvantage of the Irish?
Was Sinn Féin in the 1940s controlled by Loyalists when in communication with Germany during…
BREAKING NEWS:
Tommy Robinson himself and a gang of Orange Order Sash wearing LOYALISTS have just marched directly down south to Newtownmountkennedy , Co Wicklow to confront Garda in order to assist in turning Ireland into a far right Catholic Ethnostate
In 1666 after the Great Fire of London, the Irish under the Duke of Ormonde sent over 30,000 cattle to aid Londoners
To show the Irish his thanks, the 2nd Duke of Buckingham passed the “Importation Act 1667” to crush the Irish cattle trade

'A citizen without arms is like a priest without religion, like a woman without chastity, like a man without manhood. The very conception of an unarmed citizen is a purely modern one.'
Pádraig Mac Piarais, From a Hermitage
Just in:
The Orange Order have opened a new lodge in working class areas of Dublin with the sole aim of turning Ireland into a Gaelic Catholic Ethnostate
Do the British have the largest selection of different phenotypes of any one European country? This phenomenon seems even more quizzical when you consider that the British are the most homogenous (large) country in Europe.
Reminder:
Academics in Ireland are attempting to ‘decolonise’ Irish history and school education, the below pics describing what they mean by this:
‘Africans in Irish history are largely erased’
‘Irish People Complicit in British Imperialism’
‘Irish involvement with…
I think a lot of people on the online dissident right who understand the post-WW2 order fail to see how this also impacted the likes of Ireland and the IRA
Ireland has traditionally aligned itself with European powers given it is a European and Catholic country
- Habsburg…
The women of Ireland are fed up.
From our grandmothers, educated in Latin and the catechism, but not about menstruation, locked up whether they fell prey to a neighbour or ‘chose to commit a mortal sin’, as if either were crimes, as if they deserved a life in an institution.
China has a population of 1.4 billion, a rapidly aging population and shrinking workforce, literal cities that are empty, but takes less migrants than Ireland does, a country of 7 million, one of the youngest population's in Europe, which is in a housing crisis.
James Connolly spoke against importation of Belgian Refugees (stating is harmed the native worker) and sided with the Anti-immigration socialists (like Morris Hillquit) whilst in dispute with De Leon
James Connolly also rejected injecting social issues into socialism
Irish fascists co-opting the tricolour, Irish Republic flag, and 1916 martyrs like Pearse & Connolly is cultural appropriation. It is misappropriating centuries of anti-colonial struggle etched into our history and culture in order to punch down on migrants.
🧵 of some European classics that have Gaelic language adaptations in medieval Irish manuscripts
“Scéla Alaxandair Maic Pilip" (Tidings of Alexander, son of Philip) is an early medieval Irish saga recounting the deeds of Alexander the Great.
Preserved in the Book of Ballymote.
"Crowds of young people singing Patriotic songs, in a modern, data-driven Ireland?
It has to go.
Nationalist indoctrination? - not in my name.
Less I-R-A, more G-D-P.
Less living in the past, more planning for new and exiting markets."
These disgraceful old codgers still belting out sectarian lines is one thing. The enthusiasm of the young crowd singing ‘Up the ‘Ra’ is incredibly depressing.
This guys timeline for the past 48 hours has been absolutely pathetic, all just ‘le Dublin protest is a Jewish psy op’ with scat and piss humour
Completely unhinged spastic
*Imports every American degeneracy and subversive idea*
*People oppose this*
"Feckin Far Right Tory Yank gobshites bringing in bollocks foreign culture war brexshite ideology!"
Ireland’s prisons are full of white Caucasian males who have committed grave sexual and violent crimes. Are you protesting about each one of those? Or are you a racist?
“He believed the Irish nation belonged to the people.”
This point doesn’t make sense. It’s a self-refuting statement and means nothing.
Who are the ‘people’ in question.
Let’s also check Pearse’s on words on what’s he defines as Nation:
“The nation is a natural division, as…
1/5 When Pearse said “Ireland belongs to the Irish” he meant it in an anti-colonial sense that it did not belong to a British colonial class or their shoneens. He believed the Irish nation belonged to the people. It was not something based on ethnicity. Below is the context.
