Elaborate?

The gulf between Britishness and irishness is about the same as someone from California and someone from Texas, they are literally nearly the same thing already.

Tell me again how the ''Irish'' aren't british?

Screencap this post, when the EU collapses Ireland will rejoin Britain. Inevitable in the next 40 years.

They're both spic?

Not against this, but what makes you think this? Only 12% are in favour of reunification and Ireland did fine before the eu.

Ireland is more Anglicised than fucking Wales. Political union and cultural longevity aren't mutually exclusive. Same thing happened in Scotland, English became fashionable there without England and Scotland being united. Language and Culture play by a different set of rules.

>>2804805
By the time the EU collapses Britain will be a third world shithole

Ireland is a very new country, nationalism is falling there rapidly. And the EU nearly crippled them until Britain bailed them out.
The EU cannot last another few years of boat people and trampling over its members
When the Eu falls there will be free trade zone and more union between IRE and GBR

Replace the Old English aristocracy who protected Irish interests because they were Catholic and culturally Gaelic, anglicising the Irish would've been much easier without their money and political capital.

dude, britain is one of the countries in europe doing best.


growing economy, stable birth rate.

>Ireland is a very new country,
It's 95 years old.

It's as old as Finland.

Conquering the Irish earlier might have actually helped preserve their culture more. Consider that Welsh is far more widely spoken in Wales than Irish in Ireland and that the Highland Scots still wear their traditional dress while the Irish don't.

Although the last one might have more to do with traditional Irish clothing looking ridiculous. Pic related.

>>2804832
There are still people alive who lived in British Dublin. It is extremely new

Why is he wearing an apron?

>>2804841
And they're in their late 90's.

95 Years old is not new.


And the lack of any significant support for reunification shows nationalism is alive and well.

>>2804846
>95 Years old is not new.
For a country it is
>And the lack of any significant support for reunification shows nationalism is alive and well.
Not really, support for annexing Northern Ireland has consistently been falling.

>>2804852
>For a country it is

Let's look at the age of some other countries

China - 68 years old
Russia - 26 years old
Germany - 28 years old
Israel - 71 Years old

These countries are all younger than Ireland and have no shortage of nationalist spirit.

>Not really, support for annexing Northern Ireland has consistently been falling.

Expansionism =/= Nationalism

Also, a citation would be good.

It was like a deerskin pouch you could keep stuff in

Also, more Irish dress, 16th and 17th century

>>2804867
All your examples besides israel are wrong. Just because they had a different government doesn't mean they didn't exist. Ireland was literally ruled by Brits for hundreds of years. Not the same as China being an empire or Republic, or Russia being communist.

China wasn't reunified until 1949, and still technically isn't.

Germany was also divided, and Russia was in a state of union with 14 other republics.

If you want to get pedantic it was only ruled by Britain directly and effectively for 120 years or so

Personally I feel like while the Irish state is very new, the Irish nation is centuries older, in the sense of a people with a united ethnic identity who spoke the same language and wore the same clothes and followed the same customs and laws

Fuck you, I'm a Cambro Norman, we started revolts against the crown when a Welshman took control of it.

>the Irish were wearing chainmail and big swooshy robes and capes in the 17th century
Lmao no wonder they lost

>>2804764
Ban catholicism because that is basically the difference between the northern irish and the irish

>>2804825
You're really deluding yourself if you think there's going to be a sudden up turn in pro-Brit sentiment in Ireland.

All of Ireland's relevant culture has a British flavour, from their greatest authors to their politicians (even Republicans, bizarrely). Arthur Guinness was a pro-Union Anglican ffs.

There has been Anglo-Norman, English or British rule in some part of the Irish island for 800 years (around a third of the total period in which 'Celts' have inhabited it). The island has never, in its entirety, constituted a single, united, independent state. It couldn't be much more British

>>2804764
The Irish nowadays are just Brits with a different accent. I fully expect the Irish language to go extinct within my lifetime.

Ireland didn't go through the same reformation that the rest of the British Isles did, therefore they held on tighter to their Catholic identity.
If Ireland was properly reformed then it could have been another Wales

>>2804828
are we talking pre brexit or post brexit?

>>2804764
Most of the work is done tbqh, they don't even speak their own language anymore, that's native american-tier.
