nation: a population, normally residing in the same geographic region, in which most all the citizens share a common race, religion, language, and culture. This word is VERY often used erroneously in the stead of the term “country”. Therefore, it is highly suggested that one refer to the Glossary entry under “country”, in order to understand the distinction between a “country” and a “nation”. Unfortunately, an enormous percentage of the population has been indoctrinated by leftists to regard NATIONALISM as a malevolent ideology, when in fact, the adherence to a nationalistic framework is beneficial to both the citizenry of a nation and to the world as a whole. Multicultural societies are constantly fraught with conflicts, due to the incompatibility of competing ideologies and practices. Imagine, if you will, that the million most conservative men from an Islamic nation in Middle-east Asia, such as Afghanistan, and the million most feministic women from a liberal country like Canada, were taken to some barren island and asked to establish a new civilization. How harmonious and prosperous do you believe such a mismatch of persons would be? TOTALLY discordant! Furthermore, a variety of national identities is intrinsically beneficial, for nobody would want to travel to another nation if that nation was fundamentally identical to their own nation, except to experience the unique geographical features, diets or climates. I, for one, am glad that I can visit a nation such as Japan in order to experience its unique culture and language, then choose to visit or reside in nations such as Ireland and Egypt in order to experience the unique languages, food, art, dance, cinema, music, religion, and customs of those two nations. Of course, if I decided to reside in a nation where the language and culture differed radically from my own, I would need to adapt. For example, if I were to migrate to a Middle-east Asian nation, such as the one mentioned above, I could not openly criticize the Islamic faith (and especially its founder) without putting my very existence at risk. Upon moving to the Philippines over a decade ago, I found it EXTREMELY easy to acclimatize to its culture, since it is very much a Westernized nation, not dissimilar to the country of my birth, The Southland (that is, “Terra Australis” or “Australia”, as it is known in the Latin tongue). “Nation” was first recorded in the thirteenth century, from the Middle English, from Latin “nātiōn-” (stem of “nātiō”), meaning “birth” or “tribe”, equivalent to “nāt(us)” (past participle of “nāscī”, meaning “to be born”) + “-iōn-”. “-ion” a suffix, appearing in words of Latin origin, denoting action or condition, used in Latin and in English to form nouns from stems of Latin adjectives.
I'm a Brit living in Ireland for 3 years now. From what I can see the Irish are extremely tolerant and, yes, supportive of the underdog. That's why when the Irish start kicking off about immigration you know they've been pushed too far.
Spot on mate!! We've taken as much as we can and now we're angry! So many great foreign people in Ireland but when you let in loads of undocumented people, you're bound to get a few bad eggs, that's not racist, that's fact!! Our government are 100% to blame and I have worked with great people from over the world but they weren't looking for free gaffs and accommodation! This new wave are and our government are prioritising them over our own, that is the problem!!
Excellent analysis. Our culture and politics have been defined by our antagonism towards England. However as our relationship and view of England has greatly improved we now struggle to define ourselves and what we stand for
Irish identity isn't defined in opposition to Britain. There are Irish sports, music, dance, folklore, beverages eg. Poitín, customs and traditions such as Halloween, Irish Traveler culture, and so on - none of them based on hating British rule or excluding Protestants. Ireland is tiny compared to Britain, plus it was a very poor agricultural country until recently: in rural Ireland people did not have cars and life for most families revolved around their local parish and community. Irish identity was more hitched to Catholicism which gave people high social cohesion and a stronger grassroots connection than the more top-down English society; and that is in decline.
Firstly Dublin is the equivalent of London. Its not truly representative of the rest of the country. Go to any town or city here and at least a quarter of the population is foreign. The weird thing is nobody cares except where migrant centres are located. Often you see a group of young Irish and in the middle there's a black person. They've been well integrated. The Celts were always destined to be a footnote in history. The Germanic tribes beat us, then the Romans pushed us to the British Isles and conquered us anyway , back again to Germanic Viking Norman's and Anglo Saxons conquering us and the final nail in the coffin is the E.U lead by Germany via mass migration. Although if our women had babies it could've been so different. But it's complicated.

Ireland is done. I moved home from being abroad for 8 years and I don’t even recognize the place
Goodbye Ireland, you are an imprisoned maiden by your own elite. No more joy, no more song, the magic isle will soon be gone. 😢

All underdogs and minorities, except Jews.

Where are the rebel Irishmen that fought for the cause?😊
You do it to yourself, you do, and that’s what really hurts…

The Irish are proud ethno-nationalists who have fought for their right to have a home for over a thousand years
Just to give it away to Albanians & North Africans.
