the whole Catholic vs Protestant thing is very complicated. It isnt just about religion, religion is just often used to classify the Irish (Catholic) and British/Ulster-Scots/Anglo-Irish (Protestant). The whole thing involves centuries of war, revolution, colonisation, ethnic cleansing and often religion plays a minor role in things.

In fairness, I think it's so because it directly affects us. Fuel prices through the roof and millions of Ukrainians displaced and seeking refuge in the EU. It's more of an immediate concern for us because of this but agree that there needs to be a wider lens. The issues in Iran (how scary is that?) is another huge focus of mine atm and various countries such as Germany, Austria are sponsoring imprisoned protestors facing execution, rape and torture for showing their hair, dancing, protesting peacefully... etc.,.

@@lightfootpathfinder8218 back in 5000 bc the most advanced stone age tech was the city of Talianki in Ukraine that held 15,000 people. Newgrange was thousands of years later around 3200 bc. The earliest pyramids in Giza began in 2500 bc. Stone Henge was the same time. Newgrange is clearly older and theres an even bigger gulf in tech than there is time between it and giza than there is time. It means the modern idea of a steady evolution of tech inevitably leading to industrialisation and western democracies is provably untrue. Tech was discovered, lost, and rediscovered throughout history. Its an illustration that how we live now isnt the best possible way, the pinnacle of civilisation that will never come again.

The green on the flag represents Catholicism and the Orange Protestantism. The orange represents William of Orange / Protestantism a Dutch man that was invited to take the crown of England so they didn’t have to have a Catholic King. William defeated James who was Catholic who was to assume the crown. The flag does not come from nationalist or unionists. The flag was used before the island was even partitioned. The flag was hoisted during the 1916 rising, the country wasn’t partitioned until 1921. It was created long before that too, it was gifted to an Irish revolutionaries in 1848 by French women who were sympathetic to the Irish cause.

I know this story quite well. My ancestors immigrated to Canada from Ireland in 1849 because of the Potato Famine. They started a farm in Ontario and started breeding. Eventually, even though the farm was prosperous, there were too many of them, so some of the young folks had to find their way elsewhere in the world. None, as far as I know, went back to Europe, but some went south into the US. I am an American and I have Grandparents and Great Grandparents that were born in Canada. On both sides, actually.

It wasn’t really a famine. It was a genocide. There was plenty of food, the Irish people just weren’t allowed to have it. A lot of people have stopped calling it the famine. And never the potato famine.

For the flag, don't be misled, it moreso represents: Green - The Irish people/Nationalists(those in favour of a united Éire), Orange - Unionists/orangemen/loyalists. Don't bring religions into it, because I'm an Irish presbyterian, and being Irish doesn't make your automatically catholic. I'm represented by the green.

Also, for Americans: If your parents or grandparents were born in Ireland, but moved to the US, they're Irish. If you were born in America to Irish parents, you're American. If you were born in Ireland, but moved to the US, you're Irish. In Ireland, we don't consider Irish Americans to be Irish. You're just Americans. Every year, we see thousands of American tourists visiting Ireland, but are then disappointed to discover that, to us, you are just Americans, not Irish Americans. You really do have to have lived here, absorbing our unique culture, foibles, mannerisms, English language idiosyncrasies and ability to slag each other, before we would remotely consider you to be slightly Irish. The amount of Americans who visit here with preconceived notions of the country as a backwards, rustic and un-progressive country, but are then bemused to see one of the richest countries in Europe, is quite funny. The reason why a the main tech and pharma companies set up their European bases here? Education. We have the best educational system in Europe.

Sorry. As an Irish person I have to object. The Irish language is not the oldest written languages. The native Irish (pre-Christian) did not write. The only reason it’s “written” is because the monks wrote down the folklore and injected a few Christian elements into it. For example. The children of Lir. When the witch turned them into swans, she said they would remain so until Ireland became a christian country. The Irish folklore tales predate Jesus by several hundred years. The oldest written language is cuneiform although admittedly it’s a dead language.
