@fitzstv8506 You ARE politically and physically connected to Britain! Historically connected, physically connected (NI is part of the UK), Irish and British DNA are intermingled, there are probably as many people Irish descent living in Britain as in Ireland. We have a common language, travel area, most of your laws and a good amount of your culture are British influenced or inherited. To claim otherwise is woefully ignorant

@zivkovicable I personally didn’t do anything, but the culture my ancestors played a part in creating, did. The bit you don’t seem to get is that I DO NOT CARE that Britain participated in what was normal and legal at the time. Do Italians self flagellate about Roman slavery? Are they demanding the demolition of the Colusseum where slaves were routinely murdered for entertainment? No. Why should they? That was normal at the time. I’m glad that ONE empire took the moral leap to end the practice and now we don’t think it’s ok and we’re not slaves. You would not be pontificating about it now if the British had not done what it did, you’d probably be a slave.

@EIREriddick13 if you’re from EIRE I’d suggest you turn your attention to your own country if I were you. Islam and the machinations of the globalist authoritarian Left are doing their best to divide and destroy us, enabled by our cowardly globalist elites. But the British people are resilient - when we run out of tolerance, beware.

Daaayum I love British history. Unique, fascinating and a bit bonkers. Like us!!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

@whatthemeep Your ancestors ASSIMILATED and became AMERICAN. Why would you fetishise a culture and language you are no longer a part of? Weird.

@MenelionFR We’ve lost thousands of languages in the course of human history and no one gives a shyte about them, what’s so special about Breton? How useful is it beyond virtue signaling about your ‘roots’?

@derekmills5394 Yep just more grievance mongering and virtue signalling- it’s for tourists and money grubbing nothing more. Maori today claim they’re so oppressed but I guarantee if they lived on the ACTUAL Maori culture pre British colonialism they would NOT want to go back there. This romantic fetishising is weird

@BGM16 Thousands of languages are lost - no one cares about them. Languages are a communication tool, that’s what they’re for. They evolve. Resurrecting old languages is basically a desire to virtue signal your parochialism and separatism because it has no other use but virtue signalling. It makes me laugh that the same kinds of people who fetishise old niche languages also tend to consider themselves fans of mass immigration and open borders. The two things don’t co-exist.

@mariannehancock8282 What’s the point? Globalisation has globalised language and culture - we are all able to converse on social media in English because it has become a common language. Is that a good or bad thing in your eyes? But if your virtue signalling also runs into being pro mass immigration from the 3rd world you will end up not only losing Welsh language but English too. And all the rights and freedoms that English culture has imparted. At worst you get Sharia instead.

@ReiKakariki Why the hell should people protest to resurrect dead or dying niche languages? What’s the point? Language is meant to be a communication tool not a separation tool. If you want to speak Welsh speak it, no one is forcing you not to. But demanding it become the lingua Franca of Wales at taxpayer expense is something else. The ancient peoples of Britannia are gone. They evolved over time, they fought, they allied, they intermarried, they made friends, they borrowed bits of each others language and culture until we end up with a dominant language and culture that enables a much larger group to be understood and feel kinship. That’s how it works. France wasn’t always France. Germany wasn’t always Germany. Spain wasn’t always Spain. They didn’t all become that way singing kumbayah Why would you expect all the constituent parts of Britain to revert back to separate out the kingdoms with their own separate little languages? It’s stupid and regressive. I now think it was a huge mistake by the British empire not to eradicate all natives and implant British people instead who would have no loyalty to some old ethnicity. That’s what the Mongols and Huns did. That’s what Muslims and Hindus do now - they frown upon marriage outside the religion or clan. If they’d just erased it all there would be no whining about it now. But no Britain was the inheritor of the Magna Carta and its empire was largely self governing and there was no real attempt to erase local cultures. In India learning English on top of the local dialect unified the mass of warring mini kingdoms - without it India would not be able to be a single country. Maybe it would have been better if it had been left as it was - no doubt now it would just be a collection of Islamic 3rd world shyteholes constantly at war. A lot of the troubles in Ireland were actually due to local Irish lords who picked a side - often based on material gain or religious loyalties. It wasn’t always ‘the British’ doing anything in particular. The British didn’t cause the potato blight or famine that afflicted Ireland more than anywhere else in Europe because Irish lords had gotten so rich on potatoes they didn’t diversify enough. England had famine too ya know - potato blight wasn’t just in Ireland and lots of English also starved as a result. But the Irish have turned it into a nationalist myth feeding their victim narrative.

@jenm1 Language is a communication tool. If it’s no longer useful it dies out. Thousands and thousands have gone this way. We only have so many local languages because historically people didn’t travel much and they didn’t marry outside their clan. The people who fetishise these local cultures are, laughably, often the same people who love mass immigration and open borders - and they just don’t understand why the 2 things are in opposition. Languages and cultures evolve but it’s worth picking your battles wisely . Personally I’d happily sacrifice Welsh Irish Cornish etc if it meant English survived the onslaught of Islamic Arabic or communist Chinese . Or are you so self loathing you’d prefer that?

@MrFearDubh which shows a miscegenation of the cultures - English is a remarkably adaptable language in its absorption of other languages - as is English culture

@brianmsahin Not living in Ireland for more than 20 years. Your new home must be really pleased with how you haven’t assimilated.
1
@brianmsahin So what? As a Brit I have no problem describing myself as living in Europe because it’s fact. I don’t get uppity about it. The term Europe has only become political because of the creation of the political EU. The Irish are only getting weird about the term British Isles because of their political issues. They need to get over themselves
1
@murp0121 Seriously you need to get over yourselves
1
@brianmsahin You haven’t assimilated if ‘Irish’ is still your primary identity. Look up what assimilation means.
1
@seandoran2209 Surely when you say Northern Ireland you mean ‘Northern Ireland’…
1
@saracomerford1753 Yes English and Irish language , culture, people have miscegenated over hundreds of years. Why is this surprising?

@Niinsa62 Whoopededoo

@SiusaidhMac so Scots emigrated and didn’t assimilate even after hundreds of years, clinging on to their old identity. Why are you so proud of this?
