Isn't the sane response to British colonialism of Ireland, and their economic policies impoverishing tenant farmers and driving a diaspora from their homeland, the development of a sense of solidarity across racial lines?????

Maybe it's just a colonist thing, after they've developed a new identity as overseers over other marginalized groups.

Funny enough, you know who else are huge white supremacists who constantly antagonize their neighbors as part of the political identity? The very same British colonists in Northern Ireland.

it's just weird to me; my grandma told stories about how the Klan hosed with her (first-gen irish) parents in the 1910s; the stories basically made the next few generations very hostile to the idea of white supremacy and protestantism in general

Heard somewhere else: poverty doesn't ennoble, it tends to just make you miserable, a kind of misery that can be slightly alleviated by hurting someone lower on the totem pole than you. See the New York draft riots in the civil war for an example


e: your "sane response" is similar to my semimasturbatory fantasy wherein all the natives of english-occupied territory, from scotland and wales all the way to the zulus to the first nations in canada and the australian aborigines, somehow manage to throw off the norman yoke and then have a big interracial fuckfest

These are great. Another one one is people who pretend to be Russian and insert random faux Russian words that can only result from not actually being able to read Cyrillic, like thinking "pectopah" is the Russian word for "restaurant"

A shamrock is also one of the primary symbols of the Aryan Brotherhood. Because white Americans are such a melting pot, American racists have to grasp at any sort of regional European national identity. Same reason they're deeply invested in Rhodesia despite it being an extinct state with zero connection to their lives.

I think the Irish weren't fully assimilated as "white" until the civil rights era, when all the property owning WASPs felt they needed a united front against black homeowners. There was always a basic line drawn between blacks and Irish before, but it wasn't "mainstream" until after WW2. The KKK were giving your great grandparents poo poo because back then antipapism was still an animating motive for the Klan. Hating catholics was the biggest form of bigotry in the United States until slave emancipation gave white people an even bigger population to fear.

There is an argument to be made that the Irish had it worse than slaves, but that's only because free Irish laborers didn't represent a capital investment, so it was cheaper to work them to death and not have to pay them. The New Basin Canal was dug in New Orleans during the 1830s, and they never kept track of how many Irishmen died constructing it. Estimates range between 4,000-30,000, and they just buried the bodies unmarked in the levee or in the roadway fill. The historical experiences of blacks and Irish both represent the absolute extremes of gross exploitation under American capitalism, but instead of using that legacy to form the basis of a racial solidarity Irish guys use it to dismiss the slave experience as not that bad. In fact, they insist the Irish themselves were slaves but it's not the same thing. The Irish weren't the only later wave European migrants to be so grossly exploited either.

They operate under the delusion that the more esoteric knowledge is, the more correct it must be - and not that particular works are esoteric because they're goofy unbelievable bullshit.
