"And most important of all! Every industrial and commercial centre in England now possesses a working class divided into two hostile camps, English proletarians and Irish proletarians. The ordinary English worker hates the Irish worker as a competitor who lowers his standard of life. In relation to the Irish worker he regards himself as a member of the ruling nation and consequently he becomes a tool of the English aristocrats and capitalists against Ireland, thus strengthening their domination over himself. He cherishes religious, social, and national prejudices against the Irish worker.... This antagonism is the secret of the impotence of the English working class, despite its organization. It is the secret by which the capitalist class maintains its power. And the latter is quite aware of this."

I don't see how this is different from any anti-immigrant sentiment: more demand for housing, more competition for jobs, the usual talking points

Never a good sign when even the Irish are getting their white cards revoked

26+6=1 but the 6 are the Australian states.

Isn't australia already outrageously expensive?

I love how the op sees one news.com.au article because it mentions Irish in Australia, olmate reads the thing because he assumes it's about other McLeary's in Australia, realises it's not, and starts blaming them for the housing crisis (which is due to white boomers).

Yet more evidence that Irish are PoC.

I mean at least they're honest, plenty of shit kicking racists, and nazis, in australia pretend they're totally fine with Irish people.

Australia should just be one mega-rich person living in an empty, decaying mansion somewhere constantly muttering about how their Amazon Prime delivery is late.

Why don’t the whites understand racism? They always collapse the structural into the individual.

Mass economic migration is a natural consequence of imperialism and the enforced massive economic inequality. But even by capitalist rules, migrants consistently contribute to a country than they take, though I'm sure most of that profit isn't going to proles.

How do we not have a Ned Kelly emoji

Before anyone yells racist at me, I have Irish ancestry in me.

I thought this was an American thing.

no renting or buying a home, only provide labor and taxes!

It's not an immigration problem, that's just capitalism...

… It's just a broad black brimmer with ribbons frayed and torn

By the careless whisk of manys a mountain breeze
