I've heard the Irish are rather decent bomb makers and have a history of repelling invading cunts.

This will serve you well as a chat-up line.

Absolutely! People love being reminded of violent, multigenerational, cultural traumas. Best though to go all out and ask about their family history with An Gorta Mór and their feelings on Lizzy the First's appreciation of Irish musical heritage. /s

While not a citizen, I have deep roots.

My maternal grandparents were Irish. (Paternal Scottish, and we all know they're not exactly kind to invaders either.)

My great grandmother was Cumann na mBan

I have a rather large extended family in Dublin and Tralee that goes back .. forever.

I'm damn proud of our fierce pride and rebellion.

Them talking about wanting more living room has got to be intentional satire, right?

It's pretty common fascist talking points actually. A large part of Nazi Germany's rhetoric for why they should be conquering Poland and Ukraine and all that was to give the German race room to expand. Zionism being a fascist ideology is going to have the same rhetoric behind it.

Yeah, no, I knew the whole lebensraum shit. But I thought taking nazi talking points wholesale would be too on the nose even for these fuckwits!!

There are only so many ways you can whip up a population into a genocidal fervour.

Ahh it makes sense now. Israel was just another part of Thatcher's master plan.
