The Ghost in the Shell trailer looks like shit.

Not even surprised considering the crew is awful B-movie shite.

Bump

>The Ghost in the Shell trailer looks like shit.
It's a live-action adaption of an anime - of course it was gonna be shite.

Yes, but given who the /éire/ thread died last night, you wouldn't even have known he was fighting.

>inb4 o-o-one hundred percent Iberian

uhm we got tupi words, but since day one of the foundation of Brazil Portuguese has been our original language to the point of the jesuit priest teaching the natives how to speak it

Right lads I'm off to do something i don't feel like doing
That is all

>uhm we got tupi words
English has plenty of incorporated Irish words, especially the "version" most people here speak

clean up after yourself

yeah sure, but doesnt it feel bad knowing you cant read a book or an old thing that was produced by your people in your original language? I mean if the natives did have some cultural production involving their language I would feel bad, but Ireland got tons of history, I mean your country spoke the language until the perfidious anglo striked again hue

Not really. Ireland's history isn't particularly interesting.

>Christianity
>Vikings
>Normans
>English

>1916

Everything else is related to these 10 things in one way or another.

I can very partially understand it, I just can't structure sentences properly or read too deeply into it
I've no drive to learn the language because I get l i t e r a l l y nothing from it, we have barely on books in Irish and all the books I read are in English, we have no (good) TV shows in Irish, most of the people in Irish societies seem like wankers I wouldn't want to talk to anyway and the government is shite at incentivizing people to learn it as well

nothing bar Nationalism that it's hard to maintain such a strong fervor for in order to accomplish such a goal and the benefits you normally get from being bilingual

>Forgetting about the legendary John de Courcy and the one true king of Ireland Edward Bruce.

>Ireland's history isn't particularly interesting.
maybe if your experience of learning about all the things you've listed is secondary school
read a book nigger

I know that it's boring because I have read about it. Ireland's history only became remotely interesting in the late 1800's. For the previous 600 or so years it was nothing but a list of failed rebellions and emigration.

>I know that it's boring because I have read about it
are you sure?

because you have
>Ireland's history only became remotely interesting in the late 1800's. For the previous 600 or so years it was nothing but a list of failed rebellions and emigration.
completely backwards
the fuck do you think people were emigrating to in the 13th century, meanwhile we have our highest levels of emigration in the 19th century

Sure, Irish history may be interesting when compared to 3rd world nations - that I will concede. But compared to our European neighbours it's a bit dreary. They were were off forging empires, fighting wars, and shaping the world. Meanwhile we were under the control of our neighbour for almost 800 years and didn't really do much of significance.

>completely backwards
I fail to see how.

>They were were off forging empires
We did that too.
>fighting wars
We also did that.
>shaping the world
And that.

a history of struggle is interesting, what are you on about
the only gripe I have is that it wasn't more well documented
also a small wish that the Romans had conquered us but I know how that would've turned out in the end

>Meanwhile we were under the control of our neighbour for almost 800 years and didn't really do much of significance.
define significance
the shitty Sup Forums definition involving muh relevancy?

>I fail to see how.
You said Ireland's history only became interesting in the 19th century and then said the previous 600 weren't because they were supposedly just involved failed rebellions and emigration
When that's probably what the 19th century is most significant for along with the late 18th, where you have massive emigration to the New World, the Fenians, Young Irelanders, United Irishmen, etc.
Why would you find Parliamentarianism, Parnellism, the struggle of ideology and all that shite more interesting than the Nine Years War, the Cogadh an Dá Rí, the Normans in Ireland
surely the 19th century is the most dreary period of our history

>a history of struggle is interesting, what are you on about
I like my historical struggles to have a few victories along the way. Ireland's important victories came all in one go in the 20th century.

>You said Ireland's history only became interesting in the 19th century and then said the previous 600 weren't because they were supposedly just involved failed rebellions and emigration
I explicitly said that things started to get interesting in the LATE 19th century. I'm willing to revise that up to the 20th century if it's such a point of contention for you though.

>Ireland's important victories came all in one go in the 20th century.
Nah, we definitely started to suffer more defeats than usual about that time, before that it was plain sailing.

I'm not denying that, but the few victories that were achieved were the ones that had significant impact. Also, 1916 could be considered a victory if you're willing to buy into the theory that the ultimate goals of the leaders were achieved regarding the reaction of the Irish populace.

>before that it was plain sailing.
What?

>Ireland's important victories came all in one go in the 20th century.
way to disregard all the struggle that worked up to that point in the 18th and 19th centuries
nothing of the sort would've been possible without emancipations gained during those centuries by people like O'Connell and Parnell

>I explicitly said that things started to get interesting in the LATE 19th century.
When there was still massive emigration

>I'm willing to revise that up to the 20th century if it's such a point of contention for you though.
And a failed rebellion in 1916

I see what you mean though, I just don't find that period more interesting, ironically since you hear about it the most

>way to disregard all the struggle that worked up to that point in the 18th and 19th centuries
Not the sort of things that make history "interesting" for a person like me at least.

I'm starting to realise that this may be a subjective matter though.

>When there was still massive emigration
I never claimed that emigration just stopped in the late 19th century,

>I never claimed that emigration just stopped in the late 19th century,
you did claim that the 6 centuries before the 19th were uninteresting because it was just dreary periods of "failed rebellions and emigration" though

In saying that I wasn't that those were the main reasons that those centuries were dreary (although they certainly did contribute). It's just that there wasn't much else of note going on in Ireland from an interesting historical perspective (for me). While immigration continued well past the 19th century, other interesting stuff started to happen from that point onwards that alleviated the dreariness.

Trump has promised ar Nige that he will put the Winston Churchill bust back in the white house lads.

>tfw you btfo out of all the doubters YET AGAIN

talking to the West Brit again

>Well with subjective and relative (perhaps not even relative) values one can say whatever the fuck you want to about 1916, terrorism or glorious uprising, but the state did not come about as a direct result of the rising, indirect: maybe, perhaps had it not happened the Irish state would be entirely different in ways better or worse but it was hardly direct. If Ireland was in such a political climate such that the Easter Rising would have taken place then independence was inevitable.

>So anyway, you justify propaganda because it's only intended to be displayed in the country it produced in.

>That's exactly what propaganda means...

>I could say the same thing about Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Soviet Russia, Modern China, eastern European Puppet states of the cold war...

>Propaganda is meant to distort your view of reality, and if you believe that the Easter rising directly resulted in the founding of the Irish republic then you've had your view of reality distorted, if only slightly.

>Worse still is admitting that it exists and justifying it.

>Anyway, gotta love Anglican culture with it's civilization, language, customs. You only hate it because the propaganda told you to. They could be imperial assholes sometimes but if you consider how Ireland was before the plantations and that. The process itself was unjustifiable but had it not taken place then Ireland would be regarded to a lower standard than even that of the Russians at the time.

>people like this exist in our country

Won €30 from the McGregor KO lads, I IMMEDIATELY put it on more bets. Lets see if I can quadruple it.

>>> If Ireland was in such a political climate such that the Easter Rising would have taken place then independence was inevitable.

Well, I'm absolutely triggered.

Reminder that Christ-chan is anglican.

Forgot what I came into the thread to say.

Thanks for your attention anyway.

easter rising was not the will of the people though. It was a few hundred extremists

...

It still brought about independence as a direct cause

r8 my personality lads.

no wonder you don't (you) anyone you shitter

>Left wing Libertarian

Right-wing libertarians are corporatist cuckolds.

Everyone else is essentially "DON'T LIKE THINGS I DONT LIKE REEEEEE".

Animals, all of you.

>Everyone else is essentially "DON'T LIKE THINGS I DONT LIKE REEEEEE".
Sounds like Left-wingers in general to me.

The authoritarian left and right are like that.

who here /edgy centrist/

Is Cork worth a visit?

dude south park lmao

It's not really a touristy city, but it's nicer than Dublin.

>but it's nicer than Dublin.
Not much of an accomplishment. The shit I took 10 minutes ago is nicer than Dublin

>tfw hate liberals
>Want to be right wing, but just can't see the appeal in Donald Trump.

One of my friends lives there, I thought about visiting him together with some others. Haven't been to Ireland so far, but it looks like a nice country and as I hate britain nowdays it's possibly the only way to see the islands once again.

trump is literally /ourguy/
hes like everything this website says wrapped up into a meme man

>can't see the appeal in sensible immigration policy, low tax rates and competitive tariffs

But he's not a politician, his policies were dumb and now he's backpedaling on dismantling Obamacare.

Ron Paul I could get behind, Donald Trump is literally a meme candidate that Sup Forums nominated because "BUILD THE WALL".

>the islands
>islands
>plural
Hans, mein junge......

Fair point.

Cork is the sort of city where having friends there already will make the trip much better. It's not really the kind of city where you can just arrive in the city centre and start visiting places. It will be handy if you have access to a car for trips outside the city and plan what you're gonna visit in advance.

>and now he's backpedaling on dismantling Obamacare.
You're watching too much RTÉ mate
>there are people in this thread who unironically believe mainstream media concern shilling

I meant the British island and Ireland, not only Ireland.

Yeah he said similar things, like the road is sometimes blocked by cows that escaped from their farmers or something. It seems comfy though.

> Ron Paul I could get behind
libertarians are literal idiots

He did say there are parts of Obamacare that he doesn't want to repeal though.

r8

>like the road is sometimes blocked by cows that escaped from their farmers or something
Sounds like somewhere outside the city of Cork itself. There are some very comfy spots outside the city to be fair.

>wants to keep a couple of the only senisble minor points the Affordable Care Act introduced
>this is equal to him keeping larges parts of Obamacare intact
Literally a meme issue. Not surprised too much. Fully expect the MSM to attack him like sharks at every possibility

I guess I should go there in this case. Do you know if there are any parts of the town that I should avoid?

full of Cork people though

The amount of 30 y/o to middle-aged women with manly lesbian short hair is a national crisis.

it's an easy tell for midlife crisis desu

dont see many at all
I did notice that nearly 50-60% of women have their hair dyed blonde

Avoid the North Side beyond Patrick's Hill (e.g. Blackpool). Not exactly unsafe, but dodgy - there's not much over there anyway except housing. Cork is generally a very safe city though.

Thank you.

Die die die

>a t*rk flag in MY /éire/
think i threw up desu

Think the only reason I like Ireland is because I was born here. Starting to see England's point of view much better.

Why not fuck off to /brit/ then?

kek confirms England for good guys

fuck off to england then you bent cunt

WELL THEN YOU ARE LOST
