Wouldn’t the working class Irish be considered the Indigenous population and the immigrants be considered Settler-Colonists?

Jenny, this is the best writing I've seen in a very long time. Thank God you have all your fingers and your keyboard, and thank God Substack exists to give you a voice.

With your consent, I'm sending copies to a dozen of my US friends to further their education.

“They” are purposefully bringing all the original countries & cultures down.

Curious how they can condone Hamas atrocities, but a riot in Dublin after another (I'll bet he was a Muslim Irishman) attacks children and the population respond violently and it isn't OK.

Mind you , for Sinn Fein defending the direct attack on women and children is a return to their historic past - Warrington bomb for a start.

Thank you for this--a true primer. Riots, as unsettling as they are, can also clear matters for a time. In the U.S., they've definitely clarified that our universities and colleges are about the business of hating Jewish people and backing terrorism and asynchronous warfare. In Ireland, it seems, the riots have clarified the anger that the rest of us feel at these monstrous things.

“the traumatised-by-poverty Irish gratefully sent their children to good schools where, a generation or two later, their children were being transformed into gender-fluid libtards who believe everything Greta Thunberg says and hate Jews.”

Just like here in the US, minus the poverty part. 🤷🏻‍♂️

We are all deplorables and if the deplorables worldwide ever figure that out and start holding the politicians and industries to account, we will see a huge stride for a better future.

Leftists find it convenient to be the ones to define what "hate" is. Yet they would probably gag if they ever thought about what love is. As we read in Romans 8, "neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

I felt deeply touched by your essay today, Jenny, most especially because I have ancestors from Ireland and have always felt that I have invisible strings, deep within myself, connecting me to Ireland. As I was reading your words today, I could feel the tug of those inner strings and I found myself saying, "Oh, Country of my Ancestors. What have you come to?" But also this morning, after reading your essay, I read Douglas Murray's weekly column at The Free Press and it brought some amount of comfort to me. Murray's column today focuses on T.S. Eliot's poetry and ends with a passage from "Four Quartets":

“There is only the fight to recover what has been lost
..." (https://www.thefp.com/p/douglas-murray-ts-eliot-four-quartets)

For me, though, the thing of utmost importance that has been lost is our connection to God, ... a memory of who we truly are (Children of God). But what gives me hope is that I can, on my own, continue to try and remember who and what I truly am, even as some dark-minded individuals attempt to destroy the civilization of my ancestors or the civilization of my current country (the US). All that matters is that for me (to quote from that same poem from T.S. Eliot) "there is only the trying."

The Progressives - so lost in a maze of Nuance that they can't find their way to a truth. Never have been tested by real adversity - perhaps have never felt anything on their own. Avatars of Eliot's hollow men and women.

It’s almost as if the government didn’t learn anything from the troubles. You can’t stomp on the throats of working class without a backlash!

Ireland's PM is a gay Indian for Crissakes lol

Jews are overwhelmingly Leftist and by promoting Leftist policies & Zeitgeist, are responsible for the Islamophiliac West allowing in millions of unvetted Muslims over the past several decades, only intensifying post-911. I'm sick and fucking tired of walking on eggshells around Jews. Their Left-saturated culture should be condemned by all who recognize Leftism as a disastrous disease undermining the West, and don't insult my intelligence by gaslighting me or (I don't know if it's worse) pulling out the "anti-Semite" card. This looming "you'll bring back another Holocaust if you say that!" Damocles sword above every Goy in the West has been going on for too long and needs to stop. It can stop with each one of us saying enough is enough and not participating by calling ME an "anti-Semite" for posting this.

Thank you for the wonderful explanation which rings so true. It’s a class issue, everywhere. And it’s abundantly clear the globalists are doing everything in their power to undermine national identity and to foment domestic chaos in every country in the West.

How do you suppose they programmed the Algerian, knowing this would wind up the poors and give them the pretext to do even more to take away freedom of communication?
