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.

Emmet Dalton on the death of Tom Kettle interviewed in 1970s near Ginchy, which saw 4330 Irishmen killed or wounded in 10 days (September 1-10th 1916).

Bandon, Cork formed from the Munster Plantation 1604. Catholics were forbidden from residence. Above the gates read

Jew, Turk or atheist
May enter here, but not a Papist

Underneath an irishman had scrawled:

Whoever wrote this wrote it well
For the same is writ on the gates of Hell

from 'The South of Ireland in 1850', by Archibald G. Stark

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.

At the 1906 Olympic Games Peter O’Connor scaled the flag pole and tore off the Union Jack, which represented him, replacing it with an Irish flag.
At the base of the flag pole the other Irish athletes fought the officials who tried to stop him.

This is unironically what most ''refugees'' claim to try get asylum here

For notice, Jude Max Barrett was a founding member of the Irish Refugee Council so if he finds your asylum application implausible, it's safe to say it's a load of bollocks
