Can we have a discussion about Hibernophobia?

Both as a historical phenomenon/from a historiographical perspective, and in general, as a current phenomenon (both on 4chan and IRL).

As an Irishman, I've noticed a lot of antipathy/hostility towards my people on this and other boards. I want to know where it stems from. Especially when it comes to historical/geopolitical memes, to say nothing of the contents of some posts in themselves. Like "polandball" for example. We very rarely come up, but it's almost always in a rather mean-spirited context not unlike a 19th century Punch cartoon.

Do you hate the Irish? If so, why? What did we ever do to you?

>Yes and No
For me, American white trash tend to take specific pride in being Irish(perhaps they mean Scots-Irish?). Irish people themselves tend to be civil, wealthy and modern so I hold nothing against them.
Also consider other things like Catholicism, IRA and historical poverty and urban nature of the Irish in the Anglosphere for the hatred from other people.

Irish immigrants tended to be poor and thus could only take shit jobs, many turned to crime (the Irish mob goes back to the 18th century) and more ghastly they were catholics in a protestant country. Italians who immigrated to the US at the turn of the century, who were mainly southern Italians and Sicilians, got the same shit for the same reasons.

Italian-Irish mix is one of the most common mixes in America because of the discrimination that both of the groups faced at the time.

If irish aren't inferior, how comes they never achieved anything worthy of notice?
It really triggers me when dumb Americans act like all white people are the same. When there are clearly white nations that are the bringers of civilizations, and others, who are no better than African tribes

Anyone noticing some similarities between the irish and jewish people?

>both contributed significantly to the sciences, arts, humanities, education, etc.
>both faced severe oppression throughout history
>both have a strong affinity to a small region of the globe they consider their ancestral homeland
>both are widespread geographically
>both demonstrate a knack for 'integration' into a foreign culture or nation

The biggest and most crucial difference is that the Irish don't really have the victimhood complex of the jews.

While the level of discourse has somewhat dropped, allow me to voice my honest opinion.

I generally sympathize with the Irish independence struggle, being unsure where I stand regarding factions of the Irish Civil War - here I see the point of both sides.

In more detail, I see the British policies in Ireland of the last 50 years before the Easter Rising as being unjust, and cruel.

On a more interesting note, I have a friend from the Gaeltacht, and a friend from... near Cork, I think? The former speaks perfect Queens English, the latter speaks like a stereotypical paddy. Both are great.

Fact is that the Irish were colonized, much like the native populations of North America and Africa and so forth, and a big part of colonization is institutionalizing the belief that one group (the colonizers) is superior and the other (the colonized) is inferior.

Wasn't Ireland first colonized by Normans and they assimilated into the Irish culture? then the "new English" came saying that the "old English" where traitors and are with the Irish enemy? This always confused me because like you said they fancy them superior but many Irish are Normon. And why call the Irish enemy's? did they attack England? as far as i can tell they just stayed on there rock in the sea.

Please don't call me a butthurt irish, i'm not irish

Where does the stereotype about the Irish having massive Philtrums come from?
>>
>>2486378
Looks mostly like an Anglo Protestant thing.
>>
>>2488329

Colonization of Ireland was along ethno-religious lines, with a British-Protestant minority dominating an Irish-Catholic majority.

Old English and Gaelic Irish had one thing in common: their adherence to Roman Catholicism. This would lead to their persecution by the Anglican Church, a revolt against increasing numbers of Protestant settlers to the island, and an alliance with Charles I in the English Civil War. When the chiefly Anglican Parliamentarians under Cromwell won, they turned their attention to Ireland, stomped the crap outta them, and heavily penalized the Irish.

Irish got a bit of a respite under Charles II and James II. Then the latter was deposed in the Glorious Revolution and forced to run to Ireland. This split the population between supporters of the new William III (Protestant) and supporters of the old James II (Roman Catholic). William won, James II went to France, and everything went to shit for Roman Catholics. Thereafter, the Protestants (both English and Scottish) increased their chokehold on the country.

It's just an anglo thing because anyone that stands in their way gets automatically demonized, slandered and drowned in meme depictions.

Outside of the anglo countries nobody feels any hostility towards Ireland apart of maybe a few mentally weak apes that may have drunk too much of the anglo meme propaganda well and go around parroting shit like potato and so on.
