What strikes me about late antiquity and the early middle ages is how much more ancient, archaic and mysterious they seem than classical antiquity in general. Their darkness feels like God closing the curtain for a quick change of scene, with a curtain made of condensed eons.
I think one of the things that continuously captivates me about the Sub-Roman period is the liminal, almost apocalyptic feel, warlords setting themselves up in ruined granaries as their halls, moving from building to building in an old Roman fort as the roofs collapsed.

Dublin made its inglorious entrance into history as a nightmarish Viking slave-market and for eight centuries it was the vehicle of English rule in Ireland. Nobody involved in building it deserves any thanks. Its redeeming moments (1916, last Thursday) have involved it burning.

Ireland has recently demonstrated by far the most popular opposition to replacement immigration of any western European nation and yet that has not been enough to stop some variation of the tweet below being made by an Anglo every fifteen minutes.
This is Dublin. The Irish fought for independence from the British, only to voluntarily give up control of their own capital.

Hearing Irish people compared to Hobbits fills me with a rage that is perhaps excessive and irrational. Hobbits are Tolkien's celebration of good tame English rustics reconciled to the feudal social contract. The English problem with the Irish was that they were not Hobbits.

The Franco-Irish artist Louis le Brocquy's illustrations of Thomas Kinsella's 1969 translation of the Táin Bó Cúailnge rank (even if they might owe a very great debt to the work of Henri Michaux) as some of the most perfectly-judged works of their kind in the whole 20th century.

In Ireland being 'longhoused' traditionally meant being nagged into rebellion against the state and warfare against foreigners.
The role of Irishwomen in driving rebellions has long been commented upon by the English. In 1643, an English officer quit service in Ireland partly in protest at an Anglican bishop's plea of mercy for Irish women and children, on the grounds that the 'women are worse than men.'

Funny how ethnic animus against the Irish in the Anglosphere is expressed in wholly contradictory ways. The prevailing form this took in the 20th century was the attitude that the Irish were bigoted theocrats and blood-and-soil chauvinists. Now it seems we 'were always shitlibs'.
One for the Irish really, but my understanding is that they always were shitlibs wearing the garb of patriotism in solidarity with the worlds oppressed.

Ireland is a western European country among others and (alas) an Anglosphere country among others following (against the will of its people) the disastrous course of its peers, all of whom went through the World Wars only to 'voluntarily hand their country over in a generation'.
An entire book of modern political theory could be written about how the Irish endured centuries of brutality and oppression to fight off British control, just to voluntarily hand their country over to even more distant foreigners within a generation.

Dún Aonghasa is disturbing. The fact that it is on a barren island with all the marks of a refuge area suggests its builders were fleeing something determined not to leave them alone. I think of the children of Nemed escaping from the Fomorians.
The mighty stone walls of Dún Aonghasa were not the only defence.
The middle enclosure was surrounded by a chevaux de frise, a band of large upright stones, some up to 2m tall. The tightly packed pillars would have made it very difficult for enemy forces to advance in a group.

The sign that the Irish are unfit for self government and ought to be ruled by the UK is that three-quarters of a century after independence they belatedly began following the UK's lead in immigration policy? Interesting logic.

Ireland needs to overcome its aversion to being a real country, which it actually is (most European national identities are historical dubious compared to ours). We should be a serious country, starting with a revival of Irish as our first language. That is the adult thing to do.
The most unjust and ignorant characterisation of the 20th-century Irish state is of a kind of Celtic Disneyland devoted to an 'imagined' past (a sneering projection of yearning English romanticism) when in fact its reconstructive use of its very real past was much too restrained.

Ireland was traditionally the epitome of a thick culture but the brochures put out by the regime for the sake of attracting permanent tourists show it as thin as the paper legalising their residence, and that is as thin as the regime aims to make it.
America is a thin culture nation. What binds us together is not much.
If you speak another language or have been immersed in another country it is obvious.
But if you grew up here you would think this is what the entire world is like

The medieval and early modern history of the Saxon, Lothian-centred Scotland is far weirder and more exotic to me than the familiar and explicable Gaelic Highlands. A miniature England on England's doorstep whose political life made Byzantium look like 20th-century Scandinavia.

I oppose mass immigration and support remigration because I do not want low-vibration foreigners from low-vibration countries in my county or nearby countries. That is all I need to say.

Something I really savour about the traditional Irish manner of speaking is a style of detached euphemism that is simultaneously an ironic and cynical species of dark humour and an attitude of true Christian charity. Example: 'the drink got him, poor man' (i.e., he was a drunk).

American far rightists seem to be unable to grasp that the Russian objection to Nazism involves an understanding broader than seeing it as the Anti-Woke Reaction Force. Americans in general have trouble seeing things outside of the symbolic role they play in their culture wars.

No comment.
6 of our Sri Lankan team casting their vote in Knocknagoshel village yesterday. They were delighted to be able to vote. One of our Romanians also registered for the first time too. Allowing non-nationals to vote in Irish local elections is so important for promoting inclusivity,

I think Ireland's anomalous levels of pro-Palestinian sentiment and popular resistance to mass immigration by western European standards are not unrelated. I think they come from the same place of relative moral health and latent spiritual vigour.
The Zio-cuck right will be the death of the Nationalist movements. Too many reactionary 'Nationalists' supporting Israel because the Left support Palestine.
They live in a false paradigm where in order to be pro Ireland you need to be anti-whatever the Left does.

It is a mark of how deracinated the Irish diaspora outside of the US and certain parts of Britain is that many of them have an understanding of their homeland derived mostly from twitter memes.
Most of my ancestors are Irish, and I've always thought the perpetual hatred of the British is fucking pathetic and reeks of cope. You hate the English, who are basically your cousins, while importing millions of Ns to eradicate Ireland, which you claim the Briitsh tried to do.

I have had uberboyo on mute for a while but learning he is out there pontificating on our culture and history before an audience of foreigners fills me with violent disgust.

A similar racial change to that depicted here happens to users of generative AI on a spiritual level. The etheric body of a habitual MidJourney user resembles the physical body a Punjabi coder in Ontario.

The regime has given up even pretending that Ireland is an independent country.
Ireland will soon have two officers in the most important national security / intelligence positions in the state - Garda Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner Security - who spent most of their careers in sensitive positions in Five Eyes countries.

Expressions of contemptuous derision for the Irish by Anglophones are always self-portraits of their own vulgarity. Reading them is like watching a monkey use its feces to draw a caricature of an enemy and sneering triumphantly at the stupid coarseness of the face he has painted.
Irish people love to lay on their back and try to piss in their own mouthes. It’s how they pass the time when they run out of booze.

To paraphrase Voltaire, they [Anglosphere foreigners] are, all of them, born with a conviction in their hearts that Sinn Féin is in government, just as Bretons and Germans are born with blond hair.

Again, the strangely conflationary and telescopic character of foreign commentary on Ireland. Sinn Féin, the IRA, the Republic of Ireland and the Irish all being synonyms we already knew, but now apparently we are only the municipal corporation of Derry also.
Ireland’s newly selected mayor.
It all feels like a cartoonish joke.
The Irish spent 600 years fighting for their independence; they didn’t have this in mind.
