Garvaghy Road: No Going Back!

Just to add to that post, in case anyone thinks otherwise: no I don't support that stupid march.

Before anyone accuses me of anything, that post is a warning, a report of sentiment.

There was once the very end of a world, when I was a late teen, and in that brief interregnum there was peace and social housing/cheaper rents.

Some of us learnt very bitterly that our little wannabe collectives and crash houses were just a joke that others used as a place to drink and drug. Nobody care about politics. But do you know what? I don't blame them. The war was over and we just wanted to party.

That's all gone now. Nobody down here is having any fun. No music, no little beginnings of a scene. Just fucking coke, crack, fent, despair, everyone leaves, no hope.

You have to be hardcore to even survive down here. We are fucking hated. What did we do? Born to the wrong minority. Not the fashionable one.

I tell people today - don't even rely on the Christians or the food banks, don't rely on the posh city leftists who think you're a scumbag hick. Get skills, get into electronics and growing your own food and surviving and expect nothing. Don't expect the basic freedoms queer people have in the city. Don't expect anything. Just survive and be harder and tougher and more realistic than anyone else.

And never fucking trust a United Irelander, the worst lying scum of all.

At the start of the Troubles there was a very small anarchist/libertarian group led by a guy called Michael Hall. He's still alive and has written books and a phamplet series which are to my mind the single best resource for understanding the actual minds and thoughts and lives of both working classes and people here. He earned the noble honour of having to flee the country because **both** Orange and Green paramilitaries were threatening him. All the cool people end up like that. See he cared about both sides and interviews everyone. Big mistake. One side evil one side good is what the people (Netflix) want.

His tiny group did have the same basic insight as anyone else who wanted peace back then. Both militant green and militant orange would lead only to death and civil warfare. Any sane person back then felt the same, left, right, atheist, Christian, liberal, conservative, whatever. We all lost. I wasn't born then but we all lost and we're still trying to recover. The dickheads romanticising this and pretending it would have worked - I just find it emotionally hard to deal with that. They often don't live here. They didn't lose anyone. They don't live with the scars.

Anyway, anarchism in the sense of a realistic hope of abolishing the state was and still is more impossible here than most places. You abolish NI, RoI takes over and you have half the population to get rid of. We have nowhere else to go. Nationalism still isn't listening. RoI pretends to be neutral, it's leader sent a condolence letter when Hitler died. The USA owns much of Europe today anyway. It trains the IDF (yes, that's what the Irish Republic calls it's tiny army). The amount of people here who want no state is too small. People here want to murder for a new state. The less realistic and the more irrationally romantic it's description the better. Ain't nobody getting rid of the state in itself here anytime soon. It's an interzone of overlapping states with overlapping claims, and the vast majority of people want one or the other.

The story is that this island suffers from British colonialism. The truth is every single time you find Irish nationalists working to help a foreign power colonise Ireland to use as a base to invade and attack England. The Spanish, French, Nazi and even briefly the Soviet empires. Today it's Putin/USA

We are all caught in the middle of this on an island too small to self defend, with delusional nationalists pretending they fight for it when they only fight for themselves. GB and Ireland are and always have been too intermixed to ever separate, and never truly will. Nationalism pretends it's more moral than Britishness and unionism, that's horseshit.

Most people here are so intermixed over the generations the idea that the flag outside their house that they'll fight and die for is any indication of their ethnic origins is a joke. Me, I don't personally believe anyones ethnic origins mean they have a right to kill and hate anyone else, but people who think like me always lose here. I've been told this is 'liberal' apparently, by upper class IRA loving Marxists in England. Our lives are spectacles for them and they want more gore videos.

Abolishing NI is what the Green side murdered us all to do, but at the start of the Troubles the government of RoI, which they wanted to join to create their "United" Ireland actually secretly phoned London and begged the British government to please for the love of fuck not do that and keep on keeping NI in the UK. 98% of people voted to stay in the UK. These facts are being forgotten by nationalism, which is mostly a movement that survives on the money of and inside the ignorant romantic delusions of foreigners, mostly Americans, whom it begs for money from, mostly today to become landlords and facilitate US interests. RoI is one big tax haven where all the US cybercorps place their European HQs to avail of low corporation tax rate and be able to do business in the rest of Europe without having to pay into European pension and healthcare funds. This and EU money has turned RoI, once fairly accurately caricatured as a broke quaint pastoral farming society, into the part of Europe with the highest rents, house prices, electricity costs. This and EU funds rapidly increased wealth starting in the 90s. One of the most insane rises in history. The end result is a state where everything is too expensive and there is mass emigration, as there has always been. They train teachers and nurses who head to Australia because they can't afford to live where they are born.

It used to be NI was the rich part, the industrial hub, that's why no sane working class person wanted to leave the UK. We slowly lost our industries then the IRA bombed away even more in its demented murderous desire to ethnically cleanse us and create some sort of romantic nationalist state, either the imbecile mystical socialism of Connolly or Catholic Gaelic theocratic fascism. The socialists and fascists collaborated together. They still like each other more than we "Orange bastards". I used to think I was neither Orange or Green but the Green side today makes sure I can't be neither. Born in that town, go to that school, talk with that accent, don't believe in a United Ireland? I'm one of them. I'm a "British coloniser", funny how many of the Green side also have surnames from England or Scotland, like Gerry ADAMS, Bobby SANDS, Martina ANDERSON, John HUME, and probably more than a few of the DAC who wrote that post. Their ancestors were probably on the boat over here before mine were. But see, the first three murdered us so they get to become good Irish nationalists now.

You can find Irish TERF bloggers who claim transgenderism is British colonialism (I wish I could take the credit) and Irish LGBT who claim queerphobia was invented by the Brits (all of we Orange bastards brought it here you see) and didn't exist in the real pure Irish only Ireland they want to murder queers like me to woke retvrn to.

Today the Irish people are so incensed at the fact that now there are jobs and no bombs and thus for the first time in human history a significant number (still tiny) of non white non western European people are moving here, the far right is contacting the American and Canadians who fund Sinn Fein and telling them they're woke globalist jihadis. The left just whines that Irish people can't be racist and it's all coming from we remaining Orange bastards.

In one sense they almost have something like a point about Sinn Fein because Sinn Fein are the largest richest group of landlords on the island now, and do take EU funds for accepting immigrants, and do represent the interests of big players who want cheap more easy to exploit labour in the factories and industries Sinn Fein IRA couldn't bomb away or extort from. So they pretend to be vaguely woke, but by woke they mean we Orange bastards needed to be murdered into the true proper real Irish ethnicity and can expect to be murdered out again one day. When they invite immigrants they vote farm them and if they don't get votes they try to get them deported. Or if they're Ukrainian they try to get rid of them to appease their longed for master Putin.

Fact is, globalization is here to stay. Boats and planes come everyday now. The right will lose because it doesn't want to do the hard manual labour then immigrants it hates do for it. But that labour can't get anyone a house anymore, so no wonder so many of us prefer the dole.

Sinn Fein make press releases pretending they want peace then their next statement is a little smirk using dog whistles to remind us they're joking. Sinn Fein are very into Free Palestine, so they chose to vote to allow a factory here to continue to send material to Israel then did Facebook photo posts of themselves demanding the British gov do more to fight the Zionists. Hashtag solidarity. I've heard I'm a Zionist because I don't support Irish nationalism. I'm ontologically, genetically Zionist because of my coloniser blood you see. This is called anti racism apparently.

We Orange Bastards have our own racism problem too. The irony is there's fewer of us than the Greens and we're doing slightly less of it if you look at the appalling truth. In RoI, the "liberated, post colonial indigenous Irish" arson attacked 33 immigrant asylum centres in a single year. Trying to burn the refugees inside them to death. You'd think the Irish left would be angry, but they are much more angry when an Orange Bastard like me talks about this and I won't go along with their lie that it didn't happen because only British people can be racist.

There was an anti immigration rally in Belfast. The British and Irish flags flew together as the men carrying them hugged. The right here is turning out to be almost better at post sectarian reconciliation than the left.

Ireland has gone from nationalism to hyper nationalism. Sometimes it feels only being British makes you free, or at least hated enough to not fall for the Irish volk's current manic ethno narcissistic wank. White people here are doing identitarianism and the left is all in on that too. I don't see a great future here. But there are almost no bombs today apart from the New IRA. Always a new one, they fight over that brand name like a band going after royalties.

The future will be a useless left who calls itself socialist and is fooled by left nationalist idiots to vote for more neoliberalism which doesn't call itself that. The new paramilitaries here, some of them want rid of queers and non whites. They blame the Brits for that, but also the Irish gov.

Anyway, thanks for appreciating my bleak ramblings.

If the idiots of the nationalist left vote for a United Ireland one day they will live to regret it. They'll get their wee flags and they'll watch as rich Dublin gets their houses while clapping for their brave "resistance" to British colonialism (car bombing nurses). Sad. I almost miss Queen Liz lol
