I run an Irish history Youtube channel - 'the Irish Revolution'

I make videos about the 1912-1923 period.

In the summer of 1920 there were widespread riots in #Derry and #Belfast. Thousands of catholics forced off the docks. Hard times.

List of major American event with one consequences:
Iraq War: wealth was transferred to the rich.
2008 Recession: wealth was transferred to the rich.
COVID-19 pandemic: wealth was transferred to the rich.

How is it that any crisis, under any leader, results in the same thing?

In June 1920 Constable Jermiah Mee led a mutiny of #RIC men in #Listowel, Co. #Kerry. I also talk about the Dáil Courts, which begin to take off across the country at this time. https://t.co/EoLgpk0fkL

So I put up May's video a little earlier this time - hey, we all have a bit more free time now with the lockdown. It's intended as a kind of run-down/summary of the British forces at around the halfway point of the war. #Ireland #OTD #Twitterstorians

Annual salaries for essential workers:

Hospital cleaner - £16,551
Bin collector - £17,093
Retail worker - £19,094
Nurse - £22,654
Social care - £25,692

Instead of the platitudes, let's fight for higher wages.

In April 1920 Republicans went on hunger strike in #Mountjoy Prison, sparking a national mobilisation which later led to their release.

@AoAsymWarfare Thanks!

@PabloIglesias ayudanos por favor. Los autonomos son totalmente jodidos, de nuevo. Mi facturacion de marzo no cumple con los requisitos de una baja de 75% - pero casi. También dos clientes me han dicho que me pagarán en una fecha lejana en el futuro. Por que no cancelas la cuota?

As part of a broader collaboration with #ProjectHerStory, The Irish Revolution channel has released a video on #ConstanceMarkievicz, one of the more curious figures of the revolutionary period. Enjoy!

I can’t reiterate enough there is absolutely no need for the economy or any sector to “run out of money”. If this happens, it will be entirely the fault of the central bank and will be due to a failure of courage and imagination, not due to the virus.

Hey, I'm waiting on you to approve my video introduction and my Cambridge exams course. Could you let me know how long it takes to get approved, on average? Thanks very much!

[IrishRevolution @IrishRevYouTube]

I'm participating in #ProjectHerStory along with a bunch of other history youtubers later in march. Guess who my video is going to be about?

I just released the february episode. There was a wave of attacks on #RIC barracks this month, in particular in co. Monaghan. Eamon deValera also got in a bit of bother in the US regarding his comments about external association.

Who fucking cares if Michaél Martin or Leo Varadkar did drugs before, such an infuriating question. They aren't bad people because they smoked a joint when they were 24 they're bad people because they're literal vampires who prey on the livelihoods of the poor. #Leadersdebate

This poll is very significant. The left parties must cop on, come together & propose a Government not lead by FF or FG but by a progressive alliance of Sinn Fein, Greens, Labour etc -who's combined support of 40% dwarfs either of tweeddle dum or dee. #GeneralElection2020 #GE2020
