I'm going to be honest lads, I don't like the colours of the flag. It's not the colours themselves but rather the dull shades of green and orange stated by the Irish government. I'm sure it's something to do with looking nicer as an actual flag in the wind but on a screen they just look faded.

>>73645860

No. I'm fine with the orange too as I think replacing it with gold looks too light, like it fades into the white.
I'm talking about the specific shade of orange and green used.

>>73645901
I like tricolours, but that might be due to my love of clean cut shapes and colours.
I'm not fond of designs in flags but I'd be open to a gold harp on green field if Leinster didn't steal the Confederate flag for themselves.

I'm super drunk, this is hard.

Basically, asking questions lets you choose the battleground. You put the person at a disadvantage of having to explain some specific part of their argument, then you hold them to whatever part of their argument you want and dominate them.

Why do people still think de Valera was a good leader? If he had just accepted the conditions of the Irish Free State as per Collins' negototiations with the Brits (which he claimed he would if the Dail voted for it, but when it did he cowardly backed his way out), there wouldn't have been thousands of casualties as well as a lingering conflict in the North. de Valera was a fuckwit and a cheat.

de Valera created a precedent of violence in order to protest legitimate political action, which was deliberately followed upon in the Troubles. Granted, you could argue Collins did the same (12 Apostles etc.) but Collins was willing to bury the hatchet if it meant legitimate change for Irish independence.

>>73652714
1) thats total bullshit
2) the northern irish state is totally illegitimate and undemocratic, and violent action against it was justified.

fun fact: the troubles started because the prods couldn't help but kill catholic women and children, the british army intervened, and the brits couldn't keep themselves from killing irish civillians.
the PIRA campaign against the british was a justified response to the terror that was imposed on the irish people by the unionist government.

Again. You're implying the use of force against British security is a legitimate means to secure Northern Irish unification. Even if you're going to act like the behavior of the Unionist paramilitaries is a legitimate casus belli for the IRA to act like hooligans, the notion that the Northern Irish government aren't the legitimate sovereigns of the land for the time being is ludicrous. The same faulty logic is used to justify other thuggish separatism like the Basques in Spain and the Xinjiang terrorists in China.

No, they shouldn't have bombed and killed civilians. That behavior is the mark of undeveloped societies (see South Sudan). There was clearly a diplomatic solution (see the Anglo-Irish Treaty) which could have produced a solution that was beneficial for both sides, but the neo-IRA act like savages and shit the bed for everybody involved. I'm not acting like the Ulster loyalists are civilized either but the 'he-started-it' argument does not justify open conflict

It certainly shouldn't mean that and yet you can see for yourself how many here won't regard you as a "real man" if you don't enjoy the idea of fighting as a means of conflict resolution. Those who disagree are cowards/sissies/girls

I agree. But I believe that there are differing views of what it means to be traditionally masculine in this general.

For the record, I don't view myself as fully traditionally masculine. I have failings that exclude me from that. But that doesn't mean I view traditional masculinity as a bad thing. However, I disagree with the assertion that engaging in pointless fighting is inherent to traditional masculinity. Because it's so incredibly stupid, so unless you consider masculinity to be a stupid concept, I don't see why you'd consider knacker fighting to be an inherent part of it.

>>73665601

Let me explain to you Muslims and Christians why you have no future. Both aspects of your Abrahamic cult is based on the love and veneration of human slaughter. Like this sick Good Friday fiasco today and so on. The Koran is filled with stories of the same sacrifice and murder to achieve salvation. At the heart of it all is the flagellation and the intolerance.
We Pagans and Heathens do not attain salvation in oceans of blood and mountains of sufferning and atonement.
We know that flowers will bloom, cosmic bodies will move across the sky, that children will be born and sun follows rain and rain makes food.
This is why you are horrible and we want you and your "love," away from us.

could be a variety of situations that pop up in my personal life or as people here have said a circumstance of the area I happen to live in which could be called knacker-y
generally 'personal' things though, at least for whatever recent fights I've been in

In Ireland, the second most important political position is that of Attorney General. It is basically the king of all the courts and the entire legal system. The guardian of the Constitution. It was held by non other than Peter Sutherland at one point.

Now what if I told you that in 1978 while looking for a serial killer, the Irish police found him in bed with the then Attorney General?

It actually happened. Now you would think that the said individual would have a major Wikipedia page with all the history of the cases and so on. After all he was an extremely important person connected to many of the top figures not only in Irish establishment, but around the world. He was also a guest of Jimmy Savile when Savile visited Dublin.

So he must have a huge wiki page right?

Why do you consider them failings?

>Because it's so incredibly stupid, so unless you consider masculinity to be a stupid concept, I don't see why you'd consider knacker fighting to be an inherent part of it.
Knacker fighting, bar fighting, sports fans brawling. All fighting is pointless other than self defence. Elements of traditional masculinity are incredibly stupid and you can see it manifest here as you're labelled "passive", "bitch", "gay", "coward" and a woman for having the intelligence and wherewithal to not be so braindead as to let anger or pride cause irrational and dangerous actions. I'm sure it's not the first time in your life you've encountered sentiment like that either.
It's great you're smart enough to see the failings but it's a pity you still choose to defend it and allow people like those above define masculinity.

>>73666664
not issues, personal as in they happen in a 'personal' capacity rather than just because I live in this area, if that makes sense

I don't see why they wouldn't happen in yours and everyone else's, sometimes situations get out of hand as a fault of either the people you do encounter or even of yourself if you've the tendency, which you and many others here admittedly don't, but the latter aside the former should still happen often, it's unavoidable if you aren't a shut in NEET 24/7 really

>Why do you consider them failings?
They're not so significant that that I would consider them failings if I lived in a bubble. But my failure to meet certain male requirements that might be expected of me by my parents or society does confer an aura of failure upon me. Not that it particularly bothers me though - I've never been one to live up to the expectations of others.

>It's great you're smart enough to see the failings but it's a pity you still choose to defend it and allow people like those above define masculinity.
But I'm not - I've actively railed against those in this thread who consider braindead fighting do be a key component of masculinity. It doesn't factor in to what I consider traditional masculinity. But at the same time I think that the idea of "toxic masculinity" is a meme.

>>73667411
While there are elements to the broad strokes of accepted masculinity that do indeed have a negative effect on men, in my experience, anybody who uses the term "toxic masculinity" employs it as a means of supporting the notion that there should be no definition of what is means to be masculine (regardless of how flexible that definition may be). They assert that a man should be able to act in any way he wishes yet be viewed as equally "masculine" (for want of a better term) as any other man. Personally I don't agree with the liberalisation of masculinity like that as it removes important standards that any decent man should hold himself to.

So yes, there may be some truth to the concept of Toxic masculinity, but I will never be associated with it due to the purpose it serves those with an agenda.

It works better if the leader doesn't want to push for an Islamic state which Erdogan wants, he's not like Assad where all the groups would at least be protected and had no intention of creating an Islamic state. Turkey has always been a bit of a mess but at least they used to have the army who would come in and take over if the state strayed from being the secular state it was made to be around 1920, if someone wanted to push one religious group before the military would take over until a new leader was elected. Erdogan got rid of that check with the "uprising" last year which was to get people who weren't on his side in the military to show their allegiance, he then got rid of them to remove anyone who could harm him in the future. Turkey is just going to get worse with this.

Fair enough. I personally wouldn't hate them because of the refugees, mainly because we haven't really taken that many in. But I might find myself in a similar boat to yourself if there were loads of them coming to Ireland.
You sound like a decent sort though. I won't blow up your school bus.

We should get rid of them and give the land back to our old allies, the Native Americans (because they gave us money for food during the famine and all that).

>tfw Hitler wanted the natives to rise up and claim their land back

>>73671342
Didn't know that, very interesting. Was that out of a belief that they rightfully owned the land or did he just want them to cause internal strife within the US?

>>73671565
IIRC he sympathised with the Indians but probably also wanted to weaken the "half negro half Jewish" American state.
Give me a few minutes to find where I read this again.

Think this was it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Order_(Nazism)#Hitler.27s_plans_for_North_America

>certain Native American advocate groups, such as the fascist-leaning American Indian Federation, were to be used to undermine the Roosevelt administration from within by means of propaganda
Seems normal enough.

Oh wait it's weirder than I remember.
>the Nazis considered the Sioux, and by extension all Native Americans to be Aryans, a theory echoed in the sympathetic portrayal of the Natives in German westerns of the 1930s such as Der Kaiser von Kalifornien. Nazi propagandists went as far as declaring that Germany would return expropriated land to the Indians, while Goebbels predicted they possessed little loyalty to America and would rather rebel than fight against Germany. As a boy, Hitler had been an enthusiastic reader of Karl May westerns and he told Albert Speer that he still turned to them for inspiration as an adult when he was in a tight spot; the Karl May westerns contained highly sympathetic portrayals of American Indians.

In some parts of the country they move around in gangs and will steal anything that isn't nailed down.

>>73673551
So based on the information I've gathered on here, they are exactly like travellers?

No. Their thievery skills are on par with those of Travellers, but most Roma stick to begging (even if the begging is said to get quite aggressive in Dublin). The Travellers have their fingers in almost every pie of criminality and the are a much more widespread problem.

Happy Easter my celtic brothers :)

Sure who else is worth voting for? The FG government isn't perfect, but I'd rather have them in power going into Brexit than some SF-Communist clusterfuck government. They're the best of a bad lot.

Why not FF as opposed to FG?

Not really. Opponents of Fine Gael would like to paint them as Unionists, but it isn't really true. Might have had a member or two in the past century who may have supported that idea, but that's about it.

I don't hate FF as a party like seemingly ever Irish person I meet online does. But I can't stand the the vast majority of their current TDs; they vary from annoying to infuriating. That said, after FG I believe that FF would be the next most capable pair of hands.

FG = socially centre, economically conservative. favours private business, Dublin and golden circle untouchables
FF = socially right, economically centre. Old mans party of choice for their traditional religious values and are favourable to rural Ireland.
SF = Populist republicans. Political wing of the IRA. Actual criminals.
Ind = Road fixing specialists
Lab = Champagne socialists. Left wing socially and for some reason right wing economically. On the brink of ruin after the last election.
Solidarity = Actual socialists. Borderline anarchists, favoured by trade unions.
Soc Dems = Middle class liberals
Renua = Concerned catholic mammies

I wouldn't even go that far. They're just middle of the road, don't rock the boat. They never even came out against abortion

Let's call a spade a spade; post-recession FF won't take a stance on an issue unless they absolutely have to, and when they do take that stance, you can be sure it will come down on the side of the opinion perceived to be held by the majority of the electorate. They're terrified of rocking the boat as they rebuild their party and voterbase. Martin has been successful in bringing FF back from the brink by exerting an iron grip on the party and ensuring that the views of party members on big issues don't stand in the way of him being Taoiseach one day. And most FF TDs are all too willing to go along with this strategy for now as it is producing results.

>>73676278
Indeed. One party state when?

>>73676269
They were very reluctant supporters of gay marriage to the point where averil power left over it. I think their religious supporters accept their fence sitting on abortion as suitable opposition knowing that a vocal opposition would kill the parties future among the youth. All about party survival first in this country, FF and FG supporters seem to care very little what their politicians say so long as they believe they support their views behind closed doors.

>>73676562
Fuck off Connolly.

>>73675002
>are there any that want to unite with the UK

the Reform Group. They don't have a party because they prefer to lobby from the shadows, pull strings etc.

Irish people ITT should check out their website for a laugh.

>>73676540
Their fence sitting over water charges only to slowly slip over the one side once it became safe to do so was embarrassing, especially when you consider it was their parties idea to begin with. At the end of the day nothing would have happened on that front from FF if it wasn't from the pressure created by Paul Murphy.

It's a pity we have such see-saw politics between two parties where the second merely has to focus on surviving and not upsetting anyone to get back in power by default. SF will never break that until they have the cop on to ditch Gerry Adams and distance themselves from their IRA past.

Independents can be a mix of anything, there's a load of socialist independents who aren't in SF or Solidarity/PBP, even the Soc Dems and Labour to an extent for some reason, and then you have some like Stephen Donnelly a few ago before he joined a party, Michael Fitzmaurice and Shane Ross who don't really belong anywhere and would generally be fairly right wing economically and socially. They all get tarred with the same brush of road fixers because of the Healy Raes and Lowry. Renua are effectively completely dead now too.

That's them in action where they don't want to be too in favour in anything to lose votes, they would have campaigned in Dublin for gay marriage but unlikely to have put as much of an effort somewhere like Donegal to try and appeal to the majority in an area. Power also left more for the reason that she wanted a free run in her constituency in Dublin Bay North, but the party decided to add Sean Haughey to run too, that's the main reason she left, now she's a CEO in some charity leeching off the state.

Was reading this piece earlier which was suggesting that FF TDs were getting somewhat frustrated with Martin over water. Martin shares a four seater constituency with Coveney and McGrath (a "potential future leader of FF"), and some viewed him siding with SF on water as a potential way to fuck Coveneys chances of becoming leader of FG. So basically using party policy for his own benefit.

Basically yes, but you can be sure there will be plenty of Irish in there too. Probably more than anglo-Irish actually.

Yeah, I do not understand why they did that at all. It's not in line with their strategy since Martin took over. The only reason for it that I can think of is that FF have reason to believe that a general election is close and are trying to weaken FG before they call quits on the government. But even that seems unlikely.

>ditch Gerry Adams and distance themselves from their IRA past.
And not be so blatantly populist.

>>73677285

As I said, the Water move made zero sense to me. Martin may be shooting himself in the foot.

God, I hate those two.

How would that work?
