I think a lot of people on the online dissident right who understand the post-WW2 order fail to see how this also impacted the likes of Ireland and the IRA
Ireland has traditionally aligned itself with European powers given it is a European and Catholic country
- Habsburg Spain (1579, 1593 - 1603)
- Papacy + Allies (1640s)
- France (Jacobite Era and 1798)
- Germany (WW1 and then Sinn Féin-IRA in WW2)
However, post WW2 - traditional European alliances were out the window
For one, NATO was formed and as Britain was in NATO that means other countries in NATO couldn’t back a paramilitary such as the IRA even if it wanted too - this effectively means even if the IRA may receive sympathetic support from other European populations it would never receive material support.
It should also be of note, something many foreign onlookers don’t seem to understand, is that Sinn Féin and the IRA are not the same as the government of the 26 county Free State which has been dominated by Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil who were right-centrist parties since the states inception who still run the country and since the 2000s have brought about extreme social liberalism and mass immigration. In fact, the Free State parties have always had a hostile approach approach to SF-IRA, even executing some during WW2 and outright censorship from 1960-90s.
So during the 1960s when tensions boiled in the 6 counties and the SF-IRA went looking for allies - the Free State wanted nothing to do with the Troubles up North - and European powers and the American state were absent.
American support for Ireland rested solely on the works of the like of NORAID and working class Irish Americans (…and the Irish Mob) and not the American state.
The 1950-80s also happened to be a period wherein Third World countries were having success in armed struggles and looking for allies. Therefore it’s not too much of a surprise that the IRA, isolated from European support post WW2, would start linking in with the likes of Gaddafi and Latin America countries + Palestine for material support which would also increase sympathies between the respective movements as time went on as European countries were effectively neutered on the issue post WW2.
Therefore - Irish Nationalism is not inherently ‘Third Worldist’ - as traditionally it sought European aid but when the IRA went looking for allies post-WW2 it could only find allies outside of Europe/US given the change in the World Order.
The respective sympathies developed during this period however are well worth a criticism and drawback as I’d argue that certain Anti-European and Anti-Catholic elements have seeped into the likes of mainstream Shinners as they only think in terms of the developments of post-WW2 relationships and not the origins and roots of Irish nationality which extend back further - hence a proper understanding of the both the post-WW2 order and the original aims of Irish Nationalism are necessary as one with the other leads to schizo politics.
Yes, when the welfare state collapses, panic and anger will be off the scale.
No way the authority of the state can survive that, let alone that + ethnic division.
I say again: it needn't be horrific, and it can be a lot more civilised and fair than now - IF we retain law. If so, we can be safe living together, and rich.
It's impossible to overstate the importance of this. Without law we can go into chaos alongside the invader enclaves, submitting to ganglords, colonels, tinpot aristos.
We need to adjust to the possibility of law without the state. I.e. law that we sign up to, like joining a club. Law that we vote for with our feet, not with the ballot.
When everything collapses, I will whore my system around like nobody's business.

@AlbionKai03 Everyone in black with hoods and masks as standard all the time.
Even if people don't intend to break any laws your police can't be trusted to not persecute people just for attending protests.
The mother of the little girl (5) who was the most seriously injured has said her daughter is now wheelchair bound after she suffered brain damage due to a lack of oxygen to her brain caused by blood loss. The child is non-verbal, cannot go to the toilet by herself, and needs drugs to help her sleep.
@TOR_EuroCon It's why border control staff at docks had death threats from loyalists.. weapons,narcotics+ people trafficking would almost disappear if enhanced seaborder + ID checks introduced. It's why Unionists resist seaborder, sfa to do with " British identity" it's a moneymaker.
Vickrum Digwa’s brother, Gurpreet Digwa, 27, lied to police that Henry Nowak hadn’t been stabbed and had racially attacked his brother, perverting the course of justice.
Police also recorded him conspiring with Vickrum in a police car.
Six months later, he was arrested on multiple weapons charges and is currently on bail.
Meanwhile, Reece Robinson, 21, threw two stones at the Southampton police protest, hitting no one, and was jailed for 2 years and 1 month within 7 days.
if you look around at everything happening and your conclusion as to why people are becoming more radicalized is still some shit like “andrew tate” and “podcasters” you should be wearing a helmet 24/7
Riad Bouchaker was "upset" about a social welfare refusal letter when he allegedly attempted to murder three children, the Central Criminal Court has just heard.
The trial of the Algerian-born man accused of stabbing three children outside a Dublin crèche has begun.
The mother of a five year old victim has described her injuries:
@REDACTEDJokes@MitziPepall@jshocds Ya. Your ai thing there says the weight on a hurley is heavily weighted towards the handle so I'm just going to leave it there.
Have a good one 👍🏻
@REDACTEDJokes@MitziPepall@jshocds It's a much better weapon than either a cricket bat or, less so, a baseball bat as it is heavily weighted towards the striking end, is longer and has a few fairly brutal edges and points for force concentration.
If this is the mindset embraced by the nationalist community in the north, then ten years from now, there will be loyalist communities, but there will be no Irish communities. Whatever you think of loyalist “culture” and identity, they’ll keep it, while the Catholic communities will be continually diluted with an unending stream of foreigners who’ll have no reason to care for Irish unity, or the Irish language, for any aspects of Irish culture or identity. The entire history of struggle will have been for nothing.
I know that no amount of hectoring from either southern Irish people or from other nationalities will make any difference in changing opinions of the Catholics in the north, that change is going to have to come from within. So you are Catholic and a nationalist in the north, you need to be making every effort to change minds in your community on this. Or your children won’t have a community left to grow up in.
As has already been said.
Discourages nons from living in the area.
Makes them fear the natives.
Costs landlords who are facilitating foreigners in repairs, missed payments and higher insurance costs.
