Politician Says You Can’t be an Irish Nationalist If You’re a Nationalist

What is the purpose of an independent Ireland if Ireland is not for the Irish?

It doesn’t even make any sense.

“Irish nationalism” refers to the belief that Ireland should be independent from Britain.

But according to many women in Ireland, the only reason for this independence from Britain is so that Ireland can bring in immigrants even faster than the British.

I might agree or disagree if that made any sense.

Governments need to be careful which people they import.

People are not disposable Chinese-made chattels.

It’d take a lot of Irish whiskey for me to figure some sense of the statement.

Translation apropos to here: you can't be American if you are American. You can only be American if you are “not” American, i.e. illegal immigrant, non-American born, visa holder, misgendered or oppressed minority recently arrived. Only these “true” Americans should receive benefits, vote, serve in office or the military.

BTW there is nothing you can do about that as the border will always be wide open, and all Democrats and 99% of Republicans will act to keep it that way.

Happy New Year!

I went to the original piece you linked.

Your excerpt is useless. If you had excerpted a more relevant section of it, there would have been fewer responses here expressing confusion.

What she is saying is that Ireland has always been concerned with justice and the rights of individuals; therefore, to be truly Irish one must be a SJW. She is equivocation.

The reality is that Ireland used to be *Catholic* and *therefore* concerned with justice and the rights of individuals, that people not treat others badly. This really came up during the Industrial Revolution—for example, it was Irish immigrants who tended to be very involved in the labor movements of the early 1900s in the US.

However, Catholicism teaches that immigration can be restricted *and* that immigrants have obligations to the nation which takes them in, so her comment is specious.

to paraphrase King Edward Longshanks-

the problem with Ireland is that it is full of the Irish

Didn’t McCartney do a song called Give Ireland back to the Irish?

Ireland for Ireland.

Shin Finn and all that.

Ourselves alone.

Never mind.

We didn’t mean it.
