‘Yeah well we were conquered a millennia ago, so actually you’re not allowed to complain about what is still ongoing to you‘ is the dumbest Brit cope I’ve run into. Implying they should be grateful for it is why Brits are still reviled.
How on earth have you read defensiveness into a 2 word comment. What shit has anyone started?
Commenter above was pointing out that most Brit hate in Ireland is of the fist shaking “hate the Brits on principal” rather than an active aggression and that Ireland trusts the UK to the point the UK in effect provides the maritime and air defence of Ireland.
Meanwhile you pop up with edgelord commentary apparently solely for the purpose of causing drama.
32% of the population of Northern Ireland identify as British only, not Irish, and they are openly hostile to anything even remotly relating to Irishness to the point that they actively campaign against things like the use of the Irish language in public spaces because they see it as a threat.
Those people only exist in Northern Ireland because they are descendants of British colonists as a direct result of British Imperialism (which is the topic that kicked off the comment thread here) resulting in the Plantations of Ulster, the Protestant Ascendency and the displacement and discrimination of Irish people and targeted destruction of the Irish language and culture.
And you think talking about that is bigotry?
EDIT: Also, what do you mean Irish “Brit bashing” in this scenario? Theres no indication that this post was made by an Irish person and theres loads of comments from other nationalities in this thread, but the only one you decided to engage with was a comment that mentioned that Britian conquered Ireland? Why are you ignoring everyone else? Why are you only responding to comments relating to Ireland? Sounds to me like you have a bit of bigotry yourself.
I see them as the conquerors of Ireland and the villans in the majority of global conflicts.
The Celts conquered the Beaker people first. England was conquered by the Normans.
Okay? First commenter is still correct.
There are no good guys. Everyone has conquered or been conquered.
The Irish just like to shake their fists at us while we provide them with their national defence

It only ongoing in your head. Professional victim .
Dare you to go to an Irish bar and try saying that shit, lol
Whereas if you went into a British pub saying your crap, people would just laugh at you lol
I think most pubs in Ireland would have much the same reaction. A hardcore republican bar in the north might raise a ruckus.
One of us knows we can only say this shit online and it’s not me :)
Lol, drama much?
Don’t start shit if you can’t take shit 🤷♂️ Nobody asked you to come in here and make up some story about why Irish occupation is Good, Actually.
E: just realized this was a drive by comment and not the person I originally replied to, which makes the defensiveness even more bizarre.

Who the fuck is even trying to attack Ireland except the Brits?? Weird ass imperialist cope.
Defence against what? Britians enemies?
Defend your own western flank. Its your problem, not ours.
I suggest you ask them

I see NATO assests being deployed to protect NATO leaders against threats from NATO enemies.
So whats your point? The UK is doing this in its own interest, not in Ireland’s interest.
Because Ireland can’t defend itself.
From who?
The Beaker people are the primary genetic ancestors of Irish people.
Aren’t we all?
Exactly.
Celts didnt “conquer” the Beaker’s.
Beaker people are part of the ancestry that developed into Celts.
I was being facetious. The Irish Brit bashing online is very tiresome. It’s just bigotry.
Bigotry? Have you seen the bigotry that goes on in Northern Ireland in July every single year?
This is nothing compared to that.
