       Apparently this guy (who is English) became the leading expert on Cork Irish. I share his sentiments towards the stupid Anglophobic Irish culture

       @lain some Irish person even commented saying that hatred is far more one-sided and coming from Britain towards them! they are so ignorant. nobody in Britain ever talks about Ireland in any situation ever and if they do its neutrally. it reminds me of the Russia/Ukraine relationship and fills me with foreboding.

       @augustus @lain As someone who has family in Ireland and who has been visiting since I was a boy in the 1990's I run into these types of Irish people online who have an extreme bitterness and vindictiveness towards the British yet I have been all over Ireland to some of the most remote parts of the country and have never felt unwelcome or had any of this attitude and likewise I have never seen this attitude (beyond a bit of light teasing) to the Irish in Britain. It is a curious development, I'm not sure what these peoples malfunction was - when I have seen this online on places like reddit I always wondered if it was yankee Irish LARPing as Irish in the same way Americans would LAPR as Brits in the UK subreddits. The "Celtic Tiger" era was not an overall positive for Ireland in my opinion. While the country was less prosperous and in some ways quite backward compared to Britain 30 years ago it has caught up in many regards but the cost of housing there has been explosive and I don't think people are actually in practical terms better off for any of it besides a small elite. It has been worse in Ireland probably than just about anywhere in the world. Ireland has become a colony of a few global mega corporations who base their operations there in order to avoid tax. On paper the Irish are wealthier in GDP terms than the British though in reality the standard of living is better in Britain. The Irish political class are probably some of the most craven, incompetent and corrupt of any developed country. I see Ireland and the future and I wonder if it won't end up a lot like Greece after the euro inevitably fails.

       @lord_of_shropshire @lain my dad is almost a cartoonishly pro-Irish republican type and told me on his trip to Dublin he faced hostility from people in pubs based entirely on his English accent. he tried to tell people his last name was Irish and nobody would have it lol. the resentment culture to me is incredibly ugly and makes me think less of them. hopefully High King McGregor will do something about it.

       @augustus @lain I wonder if its some kind of urban phenomenon? Kind of like how the majority of far left spiteful mutants in England are probably to be found in a handful of the major cities? I was in Dublin for my cousins wedding in August and didn't notice any signs of resentment towards myself. Though my family live out in county Meath.
