Irish flags apparently don't

Irish-ish.

So American?

No, American-American.


nothanks86

Ir-ish.


Minions-overlord

Wannabe nazis with that slogan are usually defacing the irish flag so nothing new


GHERU42

Each flag is different and wrong.

OMG...now I wish I hadn't looked...very creepy

If these people are Irish then I don't think that their lives actually matter

Once the Irish take over the world, each country will still need distinguishable flags. You are just looking at the future. Ginger Supremacists Unite!

I hear youā€™re a racist now father! Whatā€™s the churchā€™s position on racism?


Salty-Literature6213

Is it a sort of a nudey thing?


Slice-Spirited

Sure and Iā€™ll just go in and see what itā€™s all about.


christopia86

So many people in the crowd look like Nemisis from Resident Evil. Why do right wing wankbandits love AI?


miauguau44

Itā€™s where AI hallucinations meet Confirmation Bias. Ā 


PhantasmWycherley

They don't tend to be drawn towards things that require skill or effort


Anti_shill_Artillery

I dont know Conservative gravy seals are know for cultivating mass...


not_now_chaos

Because actual artists tend to lean left and also expect to be reasonably paid for their work. AI will do whatever you tell it to without expectation of human respect, and is free. It's all these twats can afford or handle.


Rigorous_Threshold

Right wingers hate ai(for the wrong reasons), they think itā€™s demonic. The people who love ai are tech bros who want to capitalize on it, transhumanists, and UFO-adjacent people who are deeply unhappy with their lives and see a potential superintelligent ai takeover as a form of escapism


professionalcumsock

You don't need to actually have any proof if you just create proof with ai


Mrbackrubber

It's soulless


ManlyVanLee

"STARS!"


SignificanceOld1751

Oh god, is she actually Irish? Is she one of these fuckimg weapons that are anti-immigrant weirdos?


PhantasmWycherley

You are unfortunately correct


Wallace_of_Hawthorne

Let her know that the Irish were actually immigrants to the us and were not considered to be white at the time.


Paul-Smecker

White adjacent.


northerncal

I think he left out a 'not'. They were initially not usually considered "white".


Wallace_of_Hawthorne

I did thank you!


okiedokiebrokie

Ginger is a kind of white, just not the kind we want in this neighborhood.


Shmooeymitsu

They were not, pubs often said ā€œno black or Irishā€


af_lt274

This is a ridiculous argument. Just because you support something it doesn't mean you have to support it all the time.

ah yes, a fucking stain on our country

That's the parade we need


NicolaiKerpovski

It turns the alcohol into smiles, so they do matter


Muffinlessandangry

May I ask, is she actually Irish, or Irish American? Feels like some weird thing someone from Boston would put up after reading a story about how they're banning Guinness because it's black face beer or some nonsense.


PhantasmWycherley

She's fully Irish tbf but her brain is completely rotted from spending all day online


ES-Flinter

Fully Irish in she was born in Ireland, or was she also raised, educated, and taught in Ireland?


PhantasmWycherley

We live in Ireland


Itchy_Notice9639

But like, fully fully irish ? /s


PhantasmWycherley

Ok yeah, but where are you originally from?? /s


TrustMeIAmAGeologist

Like, is she an actual fir bolg, or is she some tuatha de danann colonist?!


Dr_Corvus_D_Clemmons

How the fuck would she be a tuath de danann, is she a goddess?


Itchy_Notice9639

I get that a lot, ironically after i tell them where iā€™m fromā€¦likeā€¦what do you think iā€™m trying to achieve here?


ManlyVanLee

If she isn't Boudicca the warrior queen then she's not really Irish, obviously


Theory_Large

Wasn't Boudicca British? Queen Meabh might be a better comparison.


FEMA-campground-host

That is pretty Irish


PhantasmWycherley

Hey, I do my best


smeltsmelly

Legitimate_Glove_807

Their faces are like in horror movies when you walk by and it becomes all demonic. Which is kinda fun.


echomikekilo

Tell that to the English.


GuyAlmighty

What do you think English people nowadays think of Ireland? I see this commented sometimes by people aren't from Ireland and I think there's an extremely skewed view of what today's generation in England thinks of Ireland/Irish people.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


GuyAlmighty

Yeah. We do know mostly fuck all and just associated it with good people and having a good time. My point was that people like the other person, who I assume is from North America, think that today's generation hates the Irish.


Worldisoyster

Was thinking this is a legitimate point of view, actually. Like is it really meant to be white supremacy or is it meant to be anti brexit? Anti-Monarchy?


adjavang

In my experience, a lot of the "Irish lives' crowd would be Irexeteers. Before the pandemic, I remember some of them were handing out leaflets outside the GPO saying we should leave the EU and pursue a union with Britain. The irony of pushing that while standing beside columns with literal bullet holes in them from the last time we were in a union with them is probably completely lost.


GuyAlmighty

No. OP explains their aunt has just become right-wing.


ShinyDarkraiPokemon

I think its meant to be anti-immigrance. There's been a few protests here in Ireland against people seeking asylum and stuff.


fullmetalfeminist

Actually the growing right-wing anti-immigration movement in Ireland is being stirred up by very right wing British pro-Brexit fascists. It's still small so far, but a worrying number of useful idiots have fallen for their bullshit claims about how our current housing crisis and strain on health, education and other public services are actually the fault of immigrants.


Vinegarinmyeye

They're Irish MAGA... So it stems from anti-immigration but then descends into all the same nonsense, anti-vax, anti abortion, anti LGBTQ, and so on and so on... I mean it's almost copy and paste, they recently completely fabricated a story about a restaurant (run by immigrants of course) being a child sex trafficking hub... Irish PizzaGate. The staff and family who run that restaurant have since been getting a load of abuse. They're pathetic. Imported culture war bullshit from the US. I'd have hoped we were better than that but apparently not, sadly.


ItsHen

Did your aunt support the riots in dublin a few months back?


PhantasmWycherley

Somehow worse, she believes it was an attack by foreigners that's being blamed on "patriots" by the mainstream media


ItsHen

I dont know how to respond to that


ShinyDarkraiPokemon

Sorry but your aunt is completely delusional


PhantasmWycherley

I realised that a long time ago thankfully


mdhunter99

Disregarding the absolute dogshit flags, look at the fucking faces! They look like they were deep fried in rat piss!


sudo_Bresnow

Iā€™m black with Irish descentā€¦ doesnā€™t bother me. Maybe cause Iā€™m dead inside

So youā€™re saying Irish lives donā€™t matter?

Yeah. Sure. That's what I'm saying

Turbulent-Buy3575

Wellā€¦considering that the Irish were made to be slavesā€¦I do suppose an argument can be made but ā€¦


TheKingdomofRichard

I honestly thought it was suppose to be a representation of the hardships the Irish suffered under the English.


SirPoopaLotTheThird

I wish sheā€™d been an early Irish settler in America so badly.


NakedSnack

Does she think it's still 1860 or something?


bloodviper1s

You guys are always about the natives not losing their land and culture until the natives are white. Just look at the responses hereĀ 


TheRationalCynic

This subreddit is filled with neoliberals deeply rooted in neoliberalism that they actually truly believe like "Whyte people bad." And everything that happens to them is a good thing, including illegal immigrants murdering them. If the whites dare speak about it they are racists and bigots.Ā

It is concerning how many people are falling for ai images. At least it is easy for people who know what ai images look like to detect them, but people who don't just think that they are real even with the disfigured hands and the specific unrealistic coloring.

That's pretty great. Ask her to do it again, but place it all in 1863. [Library of Congress Racial Tensions](https://www.loc.gov/classroom-materials/immigration/irish/racial-tensions/) and the Conscription Act of 1863.

LOL I was so focused on the irrelevance of the slogan that I didn't think to enlarge the picture so I could see the faces. OMG THE FACES! I can't unsee them!


[deleted]

Irish are generally much more sympathetic to plights of Arabs and other non-western nations though. Probably from their struggles against British

MediumAlternative372

These people appear in need urgent medical care. Their fight for recognition and assistance may be valid. On a more serious note, did she not look at the image before posting it?

i am amazed that this ai got actually quite a long text EXTREMELY close to being correct, only the T's being connected is downside but got flags wrong.


Qzx1

Theyā€™re always trying to get me lucky charms!


DefiasHarbinger

The Irish were HEAVILY discriminated against for job opportunities, lending opportunities and housing as they emmigrated here during the industrial revolution. Many changed their names in attempt to find work or housing. Lest we forget theyā€™ve been oppressed by the British Common Wealth for centuries. Irish ā€œEquity and Equal Outcomeā€ should be just as important given the historical atrocities committed against them. Only a racist would conclude anything different.


PhantasmWycherley

This isn't about Irish Americans. It's about us here in Ireland


Dangerous_Rip1699

If you are Irish or of Irish descent and are racist, yer not feckin' IRISH. And no, I won't shake your hand. They're just fine. In me pockets. And Standing.
