War on St Patricks day. Why are Liberals trying to cancel it?

[Leopard23]

[RavVid]

This seems somewhat confused.

There were three main migrations into Western Europe excluding Neanderthals. Western Hunters and Gathers who probably had a darkish skin, then there were early Neolithic farmers and following them the beaker people about 4,400 years ago in britain. Proto-Celtos were about 2300-1600 BCE.

Celts were all over Western Europe. Ireland, Scotland are still thought of as Celtic. Who were your indigenous Irish people - the celts?

So who was St Patrick waging genocidal war against? there is no evidence of such in St Patrick's time ~400's AD. There is only oral tradition. Were is your evidence?

Who were the Caucasians you refer to? The beaker people were from the Caucasus and predated celts. Do you mean the Saxon Angles and Jutes by Caucassian? They came to Britain after the Roman pull out which was about the time of St Patricks life.

"Before Christianity who were African" is particularly confusing not only because of grammar so poor as to be meaningless but also because of a gratuitous unrelated picture of pygmies (early 1900's?).

But were are you getting Africans from precisely? I can only think because WHG likely had dark skin and blue eyes you are labeling them Africans.

This is all highly confused nonsense.

[Exterminatore]

The holiday is to celebrate the Christianization of Ireland. They hate Christianity. The holiday has further morphed into a celebration of Irish culture and heritage. They hate tradition, and white people. Not a lot to like for the liberal with St. Patty’s Day.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

What about non-White Irishmen, Xtian or not?

[Lliam]

All really good points.

[Exterminatore]

@Lliam

Thanks.

[Exterminatore]

@Hippie

I don’t think there are many of them. They are Irishmen none the less.

[Jersey2]

Well said

[Exterminatore]

@Jersey2

Thanks.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

When my maths teacher seemed to be racist (She wasn’t), a dark-skinned pupil claimed that he’s 100% Irish. That was in New York. Maybe many non-Whites moved out of the Emerald Isle?

[Leopard23]

@HippieVeganJewslim Irish pirates captured St Patrick from France, Wales, Scotland or England.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Instead of mentioning the latter three countries, You could’ve said Britain. The Irish piracy story is news to me, but then again, I don’t study much about the subject.

[Leopard23]

@HippieVeganJewslim yeah but there was no Britain then

[Exterminatore]

@Leopard23

There was no France at that time. It was known as Gaul or Roman Gaul, Wales did not exist until after the Anglo-Saxon invasion.

Scotland at the time was known as Caledonia, and Britain as Britannia. Ireland was known as Hibernia and was a collection of about 5 different principalities. The idea of Nationhood did not exist until around the Renaissance or just shortly before.

[Leopard23]

Actually I believe at the time it was called Francia. The Frank's having moved in from Germany taking it. Hibernia, Britannia and Caledonia are Latin names. Ériu and Alba for ancient Ireland and Scotland. Albion for ancient Britain.
The idea of nationhood existed a long time. It was only around the time of the the Renaissance and maybe napoleonic wars that the boarders of Europe and the rest of the world became largely set.

[Jersey2]

Niall Of The Nine Hostages captured St. Patrick. He was just a young Roman at the time living in modern day England. Niall often led raids to basically steal from the Romans. Niall had a LOT of children and has been studied along with Thomas Jefferson and Genghis Khan to see the affects of power and having many offspring. 4 million -Dooley can trace their DNA to Niall. He lived in what is today Northern Ireland although there is no written record of him.

St Patrick was held hostage for about 10 years and escaped back to England. He then became a priest and went back to convert those he was captured by. The rest is evident. All this is from memory but it’s the just of the story.

[Jersey2]

4 million people* (typo)

[Leopard23]

@Jersey2 that's one story but there are many and possibly more than one Patrick. It's likely that the O Neil's forged connection to St Patrick like they did with the list of high Kings. Patrick may have been born within the roman empire

[Jersey2]

The O’Neils a long with the modern day Kanes are descended from Niall. The O’Neils were the top Kings of Ireland and the Kanes second highest kings. Both descended from Niall who had 9 sons which started a long line of dependents.

[Leopard23]

@Jersey2 there are a lot of O'Neil still in Co Tyrone despite the population replacement of the ulster plantations. After the flight of the Earls the head of the O Neil clan is technically a spainyard living in Spain.
https://youtu.be/4HRhZo78PB8

[Leopard23]

@Jersey2 I believe the O Neil's were only ever Kings of Tyrone and Earls of Ulster.

[Jersey2]

I thought they were crowned on Tara by the Kanes. I don’t think they ruled the other lands but they were seen as the top but I found be wrong on that.

[Exterminatore]

@Leopard23

You are right. Those are all Latin names. Before Scotland was known as the Kingdom of Alba it was known as Dal Riata. Eventually it was known in Latin as Scotia.

Francia didn’t come into use until around the time of Charlemagne.

Nationhood wasn’t a concept yet. After the fall of Rome, Europe entered the feudal period. People were beholden to individual lords. They didn’t fight for nation, but their liege lord.

[Jersey2]

I could be wrong in that*.

[Leopard23]

@Jersey2 francia predates charlamange to the merovingian Kings, predating the Islamic invasion of France. In the migration period the nation was the people.
The bible dates as far back as 5000 years old and nations are mentioned multiple times

[Exterminatore]

Charles Martel repelled the moors in the 700’s I believe.

At the time of St. Patrick it was still under Roman control and they referred to it as Gaul.

The Bible does mention nations, but that means other people groups besides the Jews. Doesn’t mean nations as we would think of them today. The Latin word for nations is gentium. I speak a fair amount of Latin. If you were to read the Bible in Latin (Latin Vulgate) that term nations would make more sense. It also can be used interchangeably with the term gentiles.

Now, after the fall of Rome is when the feudal period (the dark ages) began. All that formerly owned turf of the Romans what in complete upheaval. Warlords came along and with them cam feudalism. Each serf, knight and men at arms swore allegiance to their liege lord. They fought for their liege. Their liege had a debt to the king to fight on his behalf. And so did whom ever was under a particular liege. It is not uncommon…. in fact it rather common the various liege lords combated each other in their own terrifies. No one in 1200 Ireland would say they were going to war for their country but rather their liege. Feudalism rules the day. The concept of nationhood didn’t really start until the late Medieval time period or during the rennasance

Take for example William the Conqueror who invaded England in 1066 at Hastings he became king of England, and was still the Duke of Normandy in France. He even fought off the French king who tried to steal his lands, and burned Mons to the ground in retaliation.

Generally people who spoke the same language were a people.

Germany for example was not even a unified country until just prior to WW1

You had fiefs, kingdoms and empires but not nations a we know them today.

Francia was spilt into East and west Francia upon the death of Charlemagne.

Francia was know as Gual during the period of St. Patrick or Roman Gaul.

[sage2021]

Since when did the Democrats start wanting killings to be a bad thing?
They're making a fuss over what they made up that happened on one dark gloomy St. Patrick's day?
Why don't they spend their energy getting the people that got left in Afghanistan against their will after the war ended?
See, the democrats always have their priorities mixed up!
It's only one dude saying that happened and decided to make a big story about and want to cancel Stm Patrick's day because of it.
They just cannot go on with their lives unless taking useless trivia and saying it's true when it isn't, then wanting to cancel it.
They need to have a big rainbow parade and cancel each other.

[TrueConfection]

Just give them a transvestite leprechaun waving a rainbow flag and they'll be happy.

[Lliam]

🤣🤣🤣 I'm sure your right.

[Red_Arrow]

I guess that would be a guy with bleach blond hair and a ton of pancaked makeup on his face. Oh, that would be Trump.

[TrueConfection]

@Red_Arrow Trump is a leprechaun? 😂 Get help for your TDS buddy.

[Red_Arrow]

Well, the evil leprechaun is probably the best known internationally, and he fits. As for TDS, many do not realize it, but earlier there was Bush Derangement Syndrome, – a term coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer in 2003, “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency – nay – the very existence of George W. Bush.” It was meant as tongue-in-cheek. That was followed by Obama Derangement Syndrome, but it was not so much about his policies as it was about the man, mostly just because he was a black man running for president. Some went so far as to spread lies that he was not an American citizen and therefore ineligible to be president. The loudest voice spreading that BS? None other than Trump! It has been proven many times that he was (and is) an American citizen. But Trump continued the lies. So Trump was so hateful that he spread the ODS and his followers did also. So now, if people have TDS it is likely due to the ODS that Trump spread all over. I would not need help if Trump himself had not caused the disease.

[NewsReader]

If this is really from "npcdaily" then you can laugh this off because it's a satire website. There Is no evidence of this.

[JustinTheGreat]

As a liberal, I’m promise we don’t care about any of this lmao. Haven’t heard a single person talk about this or a single person post about it. Even googling it, barely anything pops up lmao.
literally look up the sources of the photos. The second picture says “NPC Daily” and when you look it up, it’s a PARODY account lmao.
this is propaganda trying to convince y’all that the left is more extreme than they actually are. And y’all dumbasses fall for it every time. Didn’t even do an ounce of research.
Y’all love to focus on trivial bullshit that nobody cares about 💀

[msmissydc]

As mostly with these statements. Not suprised though.

[Lliam]

That first meme with the photo in Africa is hilarious. It can't be serious... can it?

Next: I guess it's a hate crime to celebrate any European culture because... white.
And it's "cultural appropriation" to invite everyone to be Irish for a day on St. Paddy's Day.

Cultural appropriation is one of the most laughable ideas ever.

Are the same misanthropes who are complaining about St. Patrick's Day also complaining about Black History Month, Cinco de Mayo, Women's Day, or Gay Pride celebrations?

I honestly hadn't even heard of this war on St. Patrick's Day before. It sounds unbelievably ridiculous. But then again, woke liberals, themselves, are unbelievably ridiculous. LOL

[Red_Arrow]

You haven't heard of the war on St. Patrick's Day because it is made up by people trying to create dissension over something that does not exist.

[Breanna_nonbinary]

How can you cancel something that doesn’t exist? American are the only ones that celebrate this dumb holiday. If we want to talk about cancelling a holiday, talk about why Arizona decided to cancel MLK day. The one and only black holiday at the time and the white government of Arizona cancelled it.

[RolandCuthbert]

Remember that time when "liberals" cancelled Thanksgiving? I have Indigenous friends I have known for decades. They do not celebrate Thanksgiving. Nor do I try to convince them to. And I have celebrated Thanksgiving every single year of my 50 years on this planet.

[NamerOfStars]

Because the Irish are living proof that their social narrative is incorrect- and on top that, they're (relatively) happy. These people cannot STAND happiness. It's why they infiltrated liberalism and infested it with racist and sexist bigotry; it was dangerously successful at dismantling those things in broader society.

[D_Bone_Steak]

Didn't even need to read the pictures.

BECAUSE THEY HATE WHITE PEOPLE... as a virtue signal to try and hide their ACTUAL racism. I think they even call it "anti-racism" to be racist as if more racism is what we need to fix racism.

You might think they're just stupid... but what if they're just trolling? Sometimes... a lot of the time... this stuff in manufactured by people that are not even political and they're just trolling society.

[DarkLegacy]

They are trying to cancel any culture that is not part of ethnic minority culture. It is the same with the other Saints days, Royal events, Bonfire Night. What they are doing is racist.

What if I told them i don't care. They always use the same wording as well.

[lightbulb27]

It be good if we assaulted all holidays, so we'd start celebrating them properly as they were intended. But no, St. Patrick... we shouldn't throw him out, he demonstrated the power of Christ and transformed many lives.

Our society has really gone down hill, not because of liberals but because we've become fat lazy, ignorant, disrespectful, and in this case... filled with green dyed beer.

[exitseven]

I live in a real liberal city. St Patricks Day has been a big tradition in the Irish part of the city. Over the last ten years the St Patricks day parade route gets shorter and shorter. The new socialist Mayor would like to do away with it altogether. She just wants the gay pride parade.

[FunkyMonkee]

Libs are immature assholes!! What'd you expect?
Funny how they'll go to GREAT lengths to discover the history of all these ancient figures and tropes and then try to destroy them for the rest of us but, won't do a LICK of work in finding out ANYTHING about people like Joe Biden and how much he lies and is destroying the entire planet!!! Misplaced ideals!!

[Lucy68]

Liberals need to be shipped off to their own island at this rate

[captain_voidwalker]

I say the best thing to do about it is celebrate Saint Patrick's day in awesome style. Go to an Irish pub, drink Irish beer wear green and if any liberals want to protest grab a cross shaped stick and start beating them with it whilst yelling at them, in Jesus's name I rebuke thee.

[Agape93]

Ummm... the native people of Ireland were white, soooo not sure if their kale juice wasn't spiked with lead paint or not.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I don't know. But it's just another stupid thing people decide they don't like and want to get rid of it completely. If you don't like a holiday, then don't celebrate it. Simple as that. No cancelation needed.

[mark000h]

Because leftists try to destroy anything that has to do with tradition or social norms. They're nutjobs.

[jshm2]

Just like "Thanksgiving" is celebrating kicking Native American Indians off their lands, you mean!

But Nah, St. Patricks Day was supposed to be a Catholic religious holiday. Not the drink fest it has become today

[Leopard23]

Don't think the natives were kicked off their land on Thanksgiving

[Red_Arrow]

Let's pretend someone is trying to cancel it. Then we can pretend it is the liberals so we have some more lies to spread. And be sure to put it on Fox "News" because they love to spread made up bullshit.

[inhua]

liberals want to cancel everything or at least they select what they want to cancel

[zagor]

This is a made-up troll attempt.

And there weren't photos of ANYONE in St. Patrick's time.

[Sevenpointfive]

what's the story of st. patrick again? i know you tell it every year, but it's time for a refresh

[XXblack88]

St Patrick's day is just a commercial holiday.

[Anonymous]

No, liberals are NOT trying to cancel the day. This is just another right wing bullshit click bait story like the yearly war on Christmas nonsense.

[InsecureLivesMatter]

Exactly.

[InsecureLivesMatter]

Like poking fun at Toyota Supras and saying they have 1000 hp stock

[Dargil]

That assertion is false unless you can support it from anyplace but Wikipedia. Do you even know the real history of St Patrick?

[Massageman]

If they did away with the holiday and those parades, how else could our local towns test their sirens on their emergency vehicles? :- )

[Kingofkings1992]

Because it’s tradition. Liberals HATE anything that is traditional.

[Straight2thepoint]

Don't belive on that they can cancel anything. Continue to do what you want. F them sorryass loners. What are they gonna do cry more about it.

[Quigly]

It's cancel culture, they want to cancel the free west and replace it with the Communist east. Communist Chinese propaganda (CCP)

[HippieVeganJewslim]

St Pat’s Day is again for commercialism. Mad. I won’t celebrate it, but I’m going to wear green on it, as I kissed four Irish lasses.

[the-mad-german]

because they try to cancel everything tah people like and having fun with.

[Anonymous]

Because being white is a crime to liberals (despite most of them being white)

Once they've succeeded at everything else on the list, the remaining contingent will eliminate the white liberals

[Alex8736]

with the vast majority of politicians being Irish it will never happen but will cancel any other holiday

[KrakenAttackin]

Because white people might be happy on St Patrick's day, so it must be canceled.

[TJ1892]

I weren't aware they were, very disappointing if it does indeed get watered down.

[Heterosketero]

They're after our lucky charms

[Jamie05rhs]

Lmao. The guy in that photo is not Saint Patrick.

[Pete671]

Because they are jealous,,,

[gorydetails]

lol, good luck with that.

[AngryCarl2]

Why are you licking your momma's ass?

[imfreeze95]

Liberals get angry about everything

[InsecureLivesMatter]

That is satire

[Fuentes]

The left are sad people

[msc545]

too many drunks.

[Anonymous]

because they're psychotic
