And aren't they related? Besides England, all these lands have been Celtic and used to have the same language as far as I know.

Why are you an atheist when you can be a Celtic heathen? Tuatha De Danann is a based pantheon of gods. I don't have any secular religion therefore I am to bow to Orthodoxy.
But everybody needs a spiritual part, you can't be that much of a fedora. Man is a feeble animal and needs a supernatural ”healer”.

No. Except among travellers. They marry cousins and they are in UK and Ireland. Wikipedia will give you some bleeding heart story about them but the truth is that they should be genocided.

Why do all Irish people on /int/ hate everything Irish? You're ashamed of the brogue, of the folk music, of travellers, and you never post Irish landscapes in muh hometown threads, either. You're just wannabe Yanks who can tout your high school knowledge of Gaelic to prove you're special.

It depends
It's probably the worst in the Northern Ireland because people will burn your house down if you fly the wrong flag and you will get beaten up if you pull out the wrong passport in some areas.

In England, I get the general impression that most people thing that what we did in Ireland wasn't right and we should all try to get along now.

I think the younger educated people in the Republic generally have the the same view as in England, but would probably like to see a united Ireland because they will have grandparents or great grandparents who fought for Independence

In Scotland it's different because there are people of Irish descent who are Catholic, so usually side with the republicans, where as the Protestants are generally Scottish and support the Loyalist movement. My Protestant Scottish grandad has said he's been to a few Orange Order marches in both Scotland and Northern Ireland

Wales is practically a meme region so no one cares about them

Sadly, it's almost the other way around here now. The middle aged and older people won't push for a united Ireland since they lived through the troubles and don't forget want to go through that again.

Generally non-white people who immigrated 40 or 50 years ago basically live a British lifestyle, except they eat different food and might go to a different place of worship and love the place because it was better than where they came from
You see this with South East Asians, Africans and Caribbean
And then their offspring are the ones who think the UK is shit and decide to become edgy and turn to a life of crime or become a terrorist
>>
>>54883215
I'll eventually work an accent in and make them understand we hate the same thing. We might terrorize muslims together if that's their thing.

Isn't Catholicism mostly becoming less popular in Ireland? I don't know, seems like a big waste to stay divided over each other. But I guess the after-effects of history are hard to wash out.

Too much history between us, rejoining the UK is directly spitting on your ancestor's graves. The only way we'll ever be together again is if the EU becomes one state, which Britain is pretty strongly against.
>>
>>54884582

They are similar, you can't deny that. If England+Scotland can be one country, Scotland+Ireland can be one too.

They are both Western (which says a lot....any 2 cultures in the West are more similar than different). They both are Celtic/mixed type ancestry. They speak English. In an increasingly globalized culture, cultural differences are shrinking. And yeah, the entire Catholic/Protestant schism is bs when the rest of teh West stopped caring centuries ago.

Most Irish Americans are normal people. Yeah some also love their heritage, its like your family history and where your grandma or great-grandpa come from, why they left, what they honored. Yeah an Irish-American is different from an Irish-Irish but I don't know, seems unfair to hate them especially when most Irish-Americans were forced to leave Ireland due to famine. Should they have stuck it out?

My family is Finnish we talk to our distant cousins in Finland they never seem hateful about it.

>>54885208
>Burning down the White House isn't really comparable. What have other countries done to you really? Pearl Harbour? 9/11?

Don't take this as a bad question. But did the UK treat Ireland worse than the UK treated the USA?
>>
>>54885243

I always feel that a larger nation is better than so many smaller nations. Europe seems full of tiny countries that don't want to join no matter how similar they are on the surface. Usually some ancient historical, religious, or ethnic differences fragmented them. More land and more people is never a bad thing. Its one of the reasons why USA is able to be a superpower.

But yeah they know better than I do. I'm not saying they should rejoin the union I am just wondering if it is possible in the future. I guess the answer is "no".
>>
>>54885514

Much worse. Americans barely tolerated the Brits spitting on our rights for 20 years. The Irish dealt with it for 400-500 years.

>Muh 800 years

The pale of dublin was small and the discrimination didn't start til the England was entirely protestant ruled
>>
>>54885514
It's just an identity thing, having Irish ancestry doesn't mean you culturally irish at all. Irish americans are just more over-enthusiastic foreigners. The idea that they are entitled to claim Irishness because their grandmother was hungry and had to leave is ridiculous .
>>

>No one in Ireland speaks English day to day unless they're farmers
I speak Irish and I'm not a farmer. I'm a culchie though

Nah, google translate doesn't really work for Irish. He still obviously doesn't speak it natively but he's good for a Dubliner.

I'd shudder to hear him pronounce it though, Dublin accents sound awful in Irish.
>>
>>54885790

Irish diaspora still pass on elements of culture though. That's why St. Patricks day is such a big deal in the USA. It was brought by the Irish diaspora.

What are the elements of Irish culture you feel that Irish diaspora are missing?

>>54886356

>irish culture

this is exactly what i mean by embarrassing. It's just plastic nationalism for a country that doesn't want you, kind of like being a weeb I guess.

What they are missing is an understanding of what it is like to grow up in Ireland and they can never really get that.
>>
>>54880950
>Also how do irish people view muslims

>>54881219
That's a peculiar Connachtism and it's weird that you know that phrase.

>Is guinness really popular there is it just a stereotype foreigners have about you guys ?
It's probably the most common drink unless you count all lagers together.

>Is incest common in Ireland?
With Tinkers yes.

It's mainly england and poland, by far. Nigeria doesn't even come close.

>>54882816
>Is Rory Gallagher national hero?
absolutely

>We were drinking vodka, and they were drinking beer, and I said beer is for sissies
In Ireland women usually drink vodka and men drink beer or whiskey.

In favour but they need to learn how to pronounce things correctly.

>>54888001
>I literally pulled it out of a list of phrases
cool, usually only standard Irish is included. "Cén chaoi" is a very Connacht way of saying how, Connacht people usually break down the questions saying like What way, what time, what place instead of how, when, where.
