>never conquered by the Roman Empire

This is true, but only because nobody gave a shit about you. At that time in history you were running around in nightgowns with the druids, fucking sheep, had culture on par with the most primitive of African societies (even Africa was more civilized because northern Africa was colonized), you had shit technology, and you sat around in circles chanting to the green man or whatever other retarded gods you had, etc. Conquering Ireland would be a liability, not an asset. Same reason why they built a wall to keep the Scots out of Rome. You were so barbaric and uncivilized that Rome, who dealt with Germaniggers were viewing you as useless. Let that sink in.

Yet there is archeological evidence of Roman trade (even trading outposts) in Ireland. So obviously we had something they wanted :^)

As well as this, Agricola was planning an invasion and even had Irish exiles gathered around him to prepare a pretext, but never carried it out.

>>2437861
Not trying to start a fight but all of Ireland's great minds after like the invention of whiskey were Proddies (i.e not ethnically Irish)

ITT: Someone who doesn't know anything about O'Bruadair or the Irish poetic tradition that ran all the way through the occupation.

What about Flann O'Brien and Joyce? They were both catholics.

>>2437944
Joyce was a madman. Anybody who thinks he was some of literary genius is lying most of all to themselves. I was obviously exaggerating a bit when i said "all" but it is striking how many of the names listed by our Mick friend were Anglo-Irish

>>2437953

You're literally retarded. The sad thing is that you sassenachs are actually this culturally stunted and vapid.

>>2437959
>literally splurts nonsense onto a page
>pretentious cunts gush about your genius for the next century
Joyce is a good for a laugh, nothing more. Jackson Pollack isn't a great painter either.

>>2437963
The point of Finnegan's Wake is the lyricality of the prose and the way it defies linguistic expectations to try to encompass the full range of human experience. But don't take it from me, even you dirty saxon cultural gatekeeper Harold Bloom lists it as the greatest triumph of the English language since Shakespeare. Joyce exploded literary conventions in your language and then handed it back to you broken, and it hasn't been the same since. The fact that you're too stupid to get it is a sad reflection on yourself, not Joyce.

something people often don't consider is that massive swathes of america has irish genetics, and for this reason along with germany, scotland, and england, ireland is one of the most genetically successful european nationalities in the world. not even irish, just trying to look at this from some kind of objective standpoint instead of flinging shit.

>>2437953
the only reason you would think joyce's writing is bad is a lack in elevated reading comprehension. not even insulting you just diagnosing the problem.

Also, it's not nonsense. You just lack the necessary frame of reference and erudition to understand it and contextualise it.

Are you guys talking about the same Joyce who wrote Ulysses? And praising that kind of shit as good?

You people have got to be kidding me with praising that pretentious drivel and word salad. There are far better Irish authors who wrote good shit and wasn't full of pretentious trash.

I can tell just based on what you think counts as an argument that even if you did try to read ulysses which I doubt, it would have looked like nothing but jumbled nonsense to you.

Do not forget the great Hibernian conspiracy when you're talking about the Irish - truly, and sincerely the most mystical group of people that this planet has ever birthed.

Virtually every single important person from the United States has a genetic connection to Ireland. Let that sink in. The United States, on an historical scale, is an empire rarely dreamed of - it doesn't matter your views on their culture. In fact, their culture is essentially world culture at this point. And curiously almost all of the icons are in some way Irish if you look in the right direction.

Even people lurking behind the scenes often have Irish surnames.

Doesn't the fact that no one can understand the Irish preclude the premise of the argument?

You're probably a butthurt orangeman who deluded himself into thinking he's british. And by the way, even they fucking hate your guts since you're nothing more than fucking tax sinkhole for the UK.

Do you know what region in the UK is most reliant on EU subsidies? God, I can't wait till the UK leaves the union, you fuckers will literally starve to death.

I mean, is there anything more sadder than being an ulster loyalist? Their british overlords dislike them and do not consider them to be truly british, while their Irish neighbors hate them for being wanna be brits.

Rome and China both make Ireland look like a joke, at best its an interesting distraction like the Basque people

>Barely practiced slavery while it formed the dominant economic base of most of the world.
The majority of the population in medieval Ireland were slaves. Their biggest export was slaves, and a female slave was a basic unit of currency.

Lmao what the fuck are you even talking about. There was a law against Gaels enslaving each other and slavery was practically unknown in Ireland after the 11th century.

I love the Irish but this chip some of you have on your shoulder is probably the worst thing about you.

Does it matter of you're from an irrelevant country? If it bothers you so much then please do something relevant with your life.

The data this map uses was put together by Richard Lynn, who is an Ulster Israelist, believing that Northern Irish Protestants are one of the lost tribes of Israel and founded Irish civilisation before the Irish invaded from Spain and kicked them out to Scotland, and the Plantation of Ulster was just them reclaiming their land.

>>2438699

>>2437979
>Joyce exploded literary conventions in your language and then handed it back to you broken

This was his Endgame (Ireland wins again) and Joyce carried it out flawlessly. Finnegan's Wake was his "I did it 27 minutes ago," all the meaning and Imperial Prestige the English language held before this point was dead the moment the first chapter of Ulysses appeared in print. TS Eliot's "What is a Classic" reads like a tragicomedy, Joyce had devoured English as surely as the Vulgate Bible and Barbarian Invasions destroyed the Latin heritage he was so desperate to link with England.

>>2438684
>guy educated in a Protestant institution in Northern Ireland at the height of the Troubles doesn't like Irish people
hmmmm rly makes u think...

Also generally Lynn generally did a lot of dodgy stuff like using children suffering from Down's Syndrome as his basis for his study of the IQ of Equatorial Guinea and using university students for other countries.

>>2438702
Not that anon but my dissertation supervisor is a longtime acquaintance of Lynn and I've been to a couple of his guest talks. I don't know if he's specifically an Ulster Israelist but he definitely had a very strong dislike of Irish people and Catholicism.
