This is a place of peace, sacred to the dead, where men should speak with all charity and with all restraint; but I hold it a Christian thing, as O’Donovan Rossa held it, to hate evil, to hate untruth, to hate oppression, and, hating them, to strive to overthrow them. Our foes are strong and wise and wary; but, strong and wise and wary as they are, they cannot undo the miracles of God who ripens in the hearts of young men the seeds sown by the young men of a former generation...Life springs from death; and from the graves of patriot men and women spring living nations. The Defenders of this Realm have worked well in secret and in the open.
They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think that they have provided against everything; but the fools, the fools, the fools!—they have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace.

“We are bound to love our own people with a special and peculiar love, a love that is not founded upon the common characteristics of the human race, but which is founded upon the special and distinctive character of our own nationality.”

O'Donovan Rossa - Brian O'Higgins
When O'Donovan Rossa died in America, it was decided to accede to his final wish to be buried in his native land. O'Higgins sat on the funeral committee and was first and foremost in organising that historic event which has come to be regarded as a defining moment in Ireland's history. In the Souvenir produced in relation to this funeral, these verses were published.

Please, can we get the boomers to stop comparing Vaccine Passports to the Holocaust or Apartheid in SA? Or talking about MLK & Civil Rights lmfao, we have our own history its just so cringe when you hear ''we'll all be wearing the yellow star'' or ''Nuremberg 2.0'' coming out of boomers, like just stop. We're Irish - we can look to our own history
Can we instead get them to compare it to like idk Penal Laws? Or soup drinkers during the Famine, which was worse than what Jews suffered during the Holocaust (without going into that event itself) for the sole reason that Jews now have their own American-funded+protected Ethnostate as well as receiving BILLIONS in reparations even from countries that weren't involved in WW2 (see Swedish Bank Lawsuit) & read ''Holocaust Industry'' by Norman Finkelstein (a Jewish man).
Meanwhile, the Irish Language still hasn't even recovered from the impact of the Famine - that was real genocide - and we still don't even have proper control over our own country + forced emigration

I seriously can't listen to most of the anti-lockdown types on social media as I just kick myself whenever I hear some stupid shit like ''WE'LL ALL BE WEARING THE YELLOW STAR MARCHING NEXT TO THE NEW AUSCHWITZ''
Just please stop, if its cringe for myself and most others I know, then its more cringe for fence sitters and all the pro-lockdown midwits. The fucking holocaust museum has even told people to stop saying it, they're telling you to stop using it directly lmfao (although I think you shouldn't use the comparison for different reasons - it is still telling the holocaust museum etc are coming out and saying ''stop we dont want anything to do with you people'' and the boomers insist on using and crying about the holocaust STILL even after the holocaust museum is telling them to stay away - shows we have a long way to go).
Rant over there anyway , tl;dr get boomers to stop comparing lockdowns/vaccine passports etc to the holocaust

A graveyard in Dingle, Co. Kerry. Only re-discovered 30 years ago. Over 10,000 people are believed to be buried there.
I don't like victimhood mentality of crying ''oh look how bad we had it'' as its a pretty defeatist attitude especially as horrors happened to every people at some point in history - this is all unless you're using Saul Alinsky political tactics or something,
But I'm showing this graveyard here because Boomers need to actually read into Irish History and not be crying about the Holocaust/Apartheid/MLK etc etc at every chance they get. You're not Jewish or Black - you're Irish so just stop it.

Emmet Dalton describes The Somme, 1976
Dalton was a pretty interesting character. He joined the Irish Volunteers in 1913 and was weapons smuggling for them although only aged 15. When WW1 broke out, under the recommendation of John Redmond with the promise of Home Rule, Dalton along with 20,000 other Irish Volunteers would join the British Army to fight the war. He would fight in many battles, among them was the bloody fighting during the Battle of Ginchy, in which over 4,000 Irishmen were killed or wounded & earned him the Military Cross. Among the casualties was a personal friend of his, Tom Kettle, who was an up and coming figure in moderate Irish nationalism before his death at the Somme. Dalton would be promoted to Captain by the end of the war.
When he arrived home after the war, he & his younger brother Charlie would join the IRA where he quickly rose to IRA Director of Intelligence, becoming close friends with Michael Collins & was involved in the Squad, the Dublin-based assassination unit.

Dalton accepted the Anglo-Irish Treaty and he was commanding the troops at the Four Courts following Collin's commands. He was in the car with Collin's when he was killed at Béal na Bláth. Dalton had advised him to drive on, but Collins, who was not an experienced combat veteran, insisted on stopping to fight. He held one of the highest ranks, as major general, in the pro-Treaty National Army but resigned his command following the assassination of Collins and would denounce the Free State execution of republican prisoners.
He worked a bit in the Seanad before he working in film production in Ireland and the US. In 1958 he founded Irish Ardmore Studios in Bray and his daughter is the Irish actress Audrey Dalton. There’s many clips of Dalton speaking of his time in WW1 and during the Tan / Civil War as well as a book written by his younger brother Charlie on the Dublin Brigade.

Before Eoghan Ruadh Ó Néill untimely death (either poisoned or death from infected wound) Daniel O'Neill, his nephew, saw signs of mental debility. "God help him," said he, "he talks of freeing Ireland first, and afterwards expelling the Turk from Europe" — glorious boyhood dreams on Tyrone hills flashing back after fifty years on the darkening intelligence of the great old warrior. The world and its cares were passing away, and on the 6th of November, 1649, the news was borne to a doomed Ireland, that the greatest of her sons was dead.
