The message of a protest is "we don't like this".

The message of a riot is "we don't like this, and we're able to do something about it".

People who unconditionally call for peace and calm, regardless of the provocation, don't fundamentally understand how politics works in the real world.

They do understand that the purpose of politics is to provide an alternative to violence, but that's as far as their understanding goes. They don't think through the implications, usually because they are quite comfortable with things as they are.

If politics is an alternative to violence, then politics is a proxy for violence.

And that means you have to dole out power in proportion to capacity for violence. Or someone's going to figure out they can do better by flipping the table.

Monarchy wasn't replaced by democracy because of fine-sounding philosophical ideals and eloquent documents declaring this or that.

Democracy happened because if you added rifling to the flintlock firearm, suddenly a individual farmer with a tube was the pinnacle of military technology, and now you had to keep all the farmers with tubes happy by giving them political power.

(Ancient Greek democracy had a similar relationship with the hoplite warrior.)

When political systems work well, for a while, the violence they represent becomes further and further from people's minds, and those who can't effectively commit or direct violence worm their way into power, and begin to take it away from those who can.

And they'll defend their position by saying that violence is unthinkable, barbaric, always bad, must be disavowed at all costs, etc.

This isn't some sort of high-minded principle on their part. It simply means one of two things. Either "the status quo works for me, so I don't want you to upset it", or "I suck at violence, and I don't want to have to fight".

They want young men demoralized, so that their artificial meritocracy of spreadsheets, or their non-meritocracy of patronage networks, can be protected from the natural meritocracy of conflict.

This means that riots aren't actually for achieving any specific material aim. They are for reminding the comfortable that judges and bureaucrats and policemen have home addresses and families. And that violence is always on the table.

A protest would only send the message that the Irish don't want to be ethnically cleansed. But the bureaucrats and judges and lawyers already know that. They just don't care.

A riot reminds them that they have to care, because the Irish have a long tradition of doing something about it.

You were told the Anglo-Saxons were barbarians. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

They were not.

They made gold-work as fine as anything continental Europe produced in the 7th century.

5 kilograms of it. Buried in a Staffordshire field for 1,300 years.

In July 2009 a man named Terry Herbert went detecting on a working farm. He swept his detector across a ploughed field. And the headphones screamed.

Gold.

The largest Anglo-Saxon gold hoard ever found.

4,000 pieces. 5 kilograms of gold. 1.4 kilograms of silver.

⚔️ Almost all military fittings. Sword pommels. Helmet cheek-pieces. Shield mounts. Inlaid with 5,000 garnets. Garnets traded from as far as India.

Filigree gold-work so fine modern goldsmiths have not been able to match it.

🔥 All of it deliberately broken. Sword pommels twisted off. Helmet pieces folded over. Crosses bent and crushed.

The hoard is from the 7th century. The high Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia. Stripped from the bodies of defeated enemies in a battle history did not write down. Or stripped from royal armour given as offerings before a campaign. Nobody knows which.

But the broken gold sat in a Staffordshire field for 1,300 years. Until a metal detectorist swept across it.

🏛️ The Mercian kings have been forgotten. The battle that ended their warriors has no name. But the gold they wore was worked by British hands. And it is as fine as any gold-work of its century in Europe.

🇬🇧 You were told the Anglo-Saxons were barbarians...

They were not.

They were among the most accomplished goldsmiths of their age.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The gold waited 1,300 years to be found.

The hands that worked it were British.

Our work is made in Britain, for Britain.

Help us find the rest. 👇🙏

Dear specific Americans on X with specific Skills. Your Assistance is needed helping train young Ulster Patriots...

[The Eagle🌲 @EagleZeroX]

The sons of the East Anglians don't care anymore about the Saxons showing up and stomping all over them and murdering their king despite being shown hospitality. They're not bearing their teeth in anger over such a betrayal.

Sometimes you just have to get over the brother wars of ancient history and find unity against a common enemy.

If ever there was a time for the Irish and the Ulster to put away their differences, even temporarily, it's now.
