I see them as the conquerors of Ireland and the villans in the majority of global conflicts.

    The Celts conquered the Beaker people first. England was conquered by the Normans.

    There are no good guys. Everyone has conquered or been conquered.

    The Irish just like to shake their fists at us while we provide them with their national defence

    ‘Yeah well we were conquered a millennia ago, so actually you’re not allowed to complain about what is still ongoing to you‘ is the dumbest Brit cope I’ve run into. Implying they should be grateful for it is why Brits are still reviled.

    Don’t start shit if you can’t take shit 🤷‍♂️ Nobody asked you to come in here and make up some story about why Irish occupation is Good, Actually.

    E: just realized this was a drive by comment and not the person I originally replied to, which makes the defensiveness even more bizarre.

    How on earth have you read defensiveness into a 2 word comment. What shit has anyone started?

    Commenter above was pointing out that most Brit hate in Ireland is of the fist shaking "hate the Brits on principal" rather than an active aggression and that Ireland trusts the UK to the point the UK in effect provides the maritime and air defence of Ireland.

    Meanwhile you pop up with edgelord commentary apparently solely for the purpose of causing drama.

    Defence against what? Britians enemies?

    Defend your own western flank. Its your problem, not ours.

    I see NATO assests being deployed to protect NATO leaders against threats from NATO enemies.

    So whats your point? The UK is doing this in its own interest, not in Ireland's interest.

    The Beaker people are the primary genetic ancestors of Irish people.
