Irish people aren't religious at all, retard. They're all leftists with facial piercings and dyed hair who call themselves Catholic but never go to Church.

>Ireland is leftist
t.amerilards

this is the extent of Irish leftism, the general populace is apathetic at most

The IRA is literally socialist you daft cunt

The uyghurs have been part of china since the qing dynasty.
Time that they become independent.

They are more nationalist though.

It literally isn't, Republicanism =/= Socialism, many had socialist sympathies decades ago when the IRA was still a proper movement but there was a schism over Marxism
There've even been fascists in the IRA historically because it's first and foremost an Irish advocacy movement
Leftism in Ireland today is whining about water charges and childish drama with Labour, "true" leftists are crusty auld fellas nobody listens to

>Le noble savage meme
Fuck off dumb cunt

>They know that freedom doesn't mean a Green Flag from the Mast

That's not the "official song of the IRA", it's the song of the Official IRA, you absolute ANIMAL

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Republican_Army_(1922–69)

IRA and socialism have always been closely connected and many forces in the Irish republican movement have been socialist. Your argument that "leftism" is marginal in Ireland is absolutely ridiculous.

>IRA and socialism have always been closely connected
>links IRA of civil war to the start of the troubles when it was boiled down to the most radical nationalists/socialists/marxists with a preponderance of the two latter
And isn't it a surprise that when the Troubles kicked off properly and the support base was among the grass roots and people rather than a close knit cabal of radicals, it split to all fuck because people wanted autonomy for themselves and other Irish in the 6 counties or civil rights within the state at the least, and didn't care much about ambiguous economic theory.
IRA and socialism/leftism have been closely linked in the past though definitely, socialists are a good pool of militants to draw from, they've never been a majority though except when the movement was very marginal in the time period you linked from after the civil war to a bit before the Troubles.

>Your argument that "leftism" is marginal in Ireland is absolutely ridiculous.
I don't know why you'd think the IRA decades ago would be indicative of political currents in the general populace today, that's a silly leap to make.

>Nationalist socialism of the 20th century is the same thing as the New Left and modern SJWism

Yeah, no. Sorry sweetie, you don't know what you're talking about.

In 2015 62 percent of voters favored gay marriage and 38 percent opposed it — making Ireland the first country in the world to legalize gay marriage by popular vote.

Nice counter arguement

Why do so many people shit on Ireland?

>kept from exercising self determination
Balkans, aside from Croatia and Slovenia.
Also Ireland is a commie shithole full of betas, fags and LARPers with less architecture than Afghanistan and surprisingly more commie blocks that never exceed 100 meters. All the cultural areas in Ireland are in the west along with the landscapes but it's all full of inbreds (not an exaggeration btw) and culture is endemic but minimal due to eternal Anglo. D*blin is Detroit tier west England and all the youth is drunk 24/7 because they can't into social interaction. The only good thing about Ireland is some untouched hostile landscapes like in Connemara and the music is pretty nice. Other than that it's a quintessentially western country without the rich history and beauty but full of vapid modernity. Every now and then you find the odd IRA sperg that everyone spits on but other than that, most people there are standard westerners. City centers smell like piss, neighbourhoods look the same and nature is pretty.
t. Worked in Ireland

>I suppose America and Australia also did better without Anglo scum.
They are Anglo scum

>other examples

That pic always cracks me up. Why would genetics do such a thing as to give you fag thighs.

>Pic related aside, what other peoples where kept from exercising self determination throughout history?
But the Irish were allowed to exercise self-determination. That's why six counties decided to stay in the UK.

>Kurdistan springs to mind

Oh, you mean Assyria?

After hundreds of years of enslavement and multiple violent revolutions.

The French actually planned to free Ireland during the First Coalition but they launched their fleet into a winter storm like retards and the Irish rose up without any backing. Of course the English responded by slaughtering innocent civilians...

Scotland and Ireland should rule England. They're the true heros of the Atlantic Islands.

>Also, why do /pol/tards love Poland for their demographics when Ireland is better, prosperous, and more religious?
How the fuck should I know, ask them retard.

>innocent civilians
>rose up against their government

AH BEGORRAH TIS LIKE ANUTHAH POTAYTER FAMINE

Because Poland actually did shit in its lifespan unlike the fucking Micks.

What do you mean? The Irish even had one of the greatest empires of all time

Ireland has produced significant cultural contributions, like Jonathan Swift and Oscar Wilde.

It's basically playwrights, novelists and actors. Not the greatest achievements when you see that all they do is bitch about *nglos.

Skåneland

Hard to produce much else as a colony. Education is generally not emphasized.

Look at the United States
>inb4 becoming a superpower from a colony doesn't matter
>inb4 haha implying american education is emphasized

>Education is generally not emphasized
This, you can not blame on the Brits, Micky. It is the fault of Irish amd Irish alone.

Stupid thought right here

>implying the IRA fought primarily for the spread of socialism and not freedom from foreign oppression
Brainlet

Ireland is becoming one of the big success stories for taking advantage of neo liberalism, playing corporate taxes to get companies to set up meme offices here, bank deregulation which fucked us hard in 2008 all be it bringing the country out of a state of eternal emigration and backwardness which we can capitalise on to possibly further steal all that finance company Gibs fleeing from Britain.
The movements to revive the Irish language largely failed having been half hearted and incompetently implemented on a population which for most of the mid 20th century, was in poverty or abroad, and for which much nationalism was limited to more easily accessible things like GAA.
To be Irish is to be weighed down by all this failure, however the pollacks spread the meme that Poland stronk even though they've gotten screwed much harder than us, all be it kept the language in its entirety.

I'd say the situations are not really comparable. The us had a continent's worth of resources and no threats nearby. But it is certainly true that many of modern Ireland's problems are self made, I won't deny that. I thought we were only speaking historically.

/pol/niggers as always.
