Don't mind what made them great; the pertinent focal point for the purpose of this discussion is what makes them Irish, which is their genetics and right to secure their existence within their ancestral homeland. As for what inspired them, what inspired them was foreign invaders usurping their ancestral homeland; the ethnic blood and soil component of the struggle predates the religious addition that came later.
Last night you said that a Black can become Irish (lol) so long as he's Catholic and is Anglophobic. That's the exact same argument troons use: there's no biology, and whatever mental construct is held to is reality, and that's precisely how you end up with delusional men wearing dresses demanding access to read books to your children. Anyway, staying on this point for a minute, people like you who claim Irish ancestry (which is weird because you disregard biology) think the Irish had animosity with the English just for the craic; they didn't. They had animosity because the English were planting their ancestral homeland. You make the point that the Irish will accept the modern African, Indian, and Pakistani planter so long as they're 'Anglophobic'. Can you be any more of a historylet that can't into comprehension? Why would the Irish accept the modern plantation when they didn't accept the previous historical ones? The whole point of the Irish struggle was one of an ethnic people asserting their indigenous rights over their homeland.
Your reasoning is beyond weird, and I feel like you've never really thought these things through.
Bro has never heard of the Old English. Newsflash retard, Ireland has a history of assimilating people who were "invaders" in the past and accepting them as "more Irish than the Irish themselves" once they became Gaelic speaking Catholics who were united by their opposition to Protestant Anglo tyranny.
I know my Irish history, you don't. FitzGerald for instance, really any name that begins with "Fitz" is in fact English not Irish with the prefix "Fitz" meaning "Son of" in Norman French. FitzPatrick therefore meaning "Son of Patrick" for instance. In any event; these people originally invaded Ireland in the 12th century under as Englishmen, ironically acting under the authority of a Papal bull called the Laudabiliter which gave the English monarchs lordship over Ireland since the Church in Ireland was not in line with the rest of Europe and His Holiness wanted to change that.
The Old English invaded, set up a base of power in the east of the island, and somewhat integrated into Irish society. They intermarried with the clans, some spoke Gaelic, etc. The point in which they ceased to be English in any meaningful way was when they did not follow Henry VIII in large numbers when he broke with Rome. They, thank God, chose God over country. To paraphrase St. Thomas More, they were the King's faithful servants but God's first. Sure, they were distinct from the indigenous Gaels but they were still Irish, or more precisely proto Irish, despite being genetically and somewhat culturally distinct.
The Irish identity as we know it came about in the Irish Confederate Wars, when Gaels and Normans finally cast aside their differences and united to defend the Catholic Faith. Unlike the later invaders, those being the planters, the Old English were assimilated. The same thing also happened to Viking invaders earlier on once they adopted Christianity and started speaking Gaelic. So my question is, why can Vikings an Normans become Irish but Blacks can't?
The Irish race is a spiritual one, not a biological one as evidenced by the fact that even those who are biologically Irish can cease to be Irish in the realest sense.
You are Protestant and therefore not Irish. Thank you for proving my point.
That may not be violent genocide, but diluting a population down until they exist no further is still genocide.
What's wrong with genocide you libtard?
