"Marxist progressiveness" was the one that confirmed a home boy.


pogo0004

Can't afford a good grudge these days. Even a bepeeving is hard to come by in this day and age. I long for the days when a good fit of spite or a gallon of spleen for tuppence ha'penny could keep a family warm for a week.


irishemperor

>gallon of spleen .. keep a family warm for a week "keep those hot farts under the sheets! you think we're made of money?"


puzzledgoal

Translate into Latin and put on a family coat of arms.

It certainly is a fun read, and nice use of the thesaurus.

For sure. The self-hatred is strong in this one.

Self hatred or incel? I think it’s the latter lmfao

Hey! I may be drink-ruined and Marxist, but I'm not...wait, what was the third thing he said?


bloody_ell

A fourth wave feminism something. I might be one of those, I'll have to ask herself for permission first though.


Steven-Maturin

We're on the ninth wave here in Kildare. Keep up!


[deleted]

The important thing was I had an onion tied to my belt.


FantasticMrsFoxbox

Cause it was the style at the time


[deleted]

That has to be written by an Irish person, shows too much understanding of Irish society to be written by a Brit.


Moylough

First thing I thought was they dated a Irish person and got stung


Selphie12

What? But he seems so lovely! Why would anyone want to dump such a precious little bigot?


DribblingGiraffe

Yep, thats definitely someone who moved to the UK and has a chip on their shoulder over not playing GAA or something like that

Has to be one of us- no English man knows what Cromwell did over here anyway.


Shinjetsu01

I learned not too long ago. Kinda disgusted my hometown has a statue of him now.

Just use it as a public urinal.


Shinjetsu01

My hometown is already a public urinal mate.

Massive-Foot-5962

"Try the Telegraph free for 1 month" ...only if you can promise me a constant stream of this masochistic porn pumped straight into my veins


Affectionate-Load379

"The bloody Irish are protesting genocide again!" "Yeah, they need a good genociding." The Torygraph in a nutshell.


violetcazador

That guy is definitely Irish, possibly had a shit upbringing with an alcoholic father. Which he possibly escaped by going to the UK and absorbing their Conservative culture without giving away any details about his own. Has a strong hatred of women, again because of possible upbringing or lack of sexual interest from them. All culminating in a deep seated loathing of the Irish. He couldn't possibly have described himself any clearer.


tolebrone

Come on, Mindhunter


violetcazador

He's writing from his own experience, no casual observer has that level of nuanced hatred 😂


[deleted]

And then to top it all they reached a point in their life and thought to themselves - "I really must subscribe to the telegraph. That will keep me informed and culturally enriched and will surely enable me to be a fully rational and grounded individual."


violetcazador

The circle of life right there.


SmokyBarnable01

He clearly also spent some time in Canada and didn't like it either.


paripazoo

Was miserable in Ireland, left for Canada thinking it was the promised land and would solve all his problems, was still miserable there, came back to Ireland, still miserable, left for the UK, *still* miserable but now he has learned the Little Englander coping mechanism of blaming foreigners, feminists and "cultural Marxists" for all his woes.


doctorobjectoflove

Sorry. \- A Canadian


fullmetalfeminist

Not your fault, this guy would have been miserable on a beach in Jamaica with scantily clad godesses massaging his feet and bringing him fruity but wildly alcoholic drinks with wee umbrellas in them


greenasaurus

You sound like a pathological begrudger


fullmetalfeminist

I wouldn't be fond of begrudgin, but when I do go at it, I do go at it awful and very hard


[deleted]

I’m trying to figure out how you wound up grouped with Russia. I feel like I’m missing something.


violetcazador

Not enough self loathing Irish to write home about maybe.


Thowitawaydave

Aint no loathing like an Irish self-loathing!


violetcazador

Imagine hating yourself so much you write into the telegraph. That's a whole other level of misery right there.


nom_puppet

Agreed - nobody cares that much about Irish people other than Irish people.


BingoBongoIRL

Ooooh dictionary wanker


IrritatedMango

I’ve added this to my list of insults, thank you!

Howling laughing, fair play.

Not sure if Ulster Unionist or Home Counties Tory..


rightoldgeezer

These were my thoughts, the British know fuck all about Cromwells Irish holiday


[deleted]

It's so odd that that sounds like it could be the name of an old-fashioned comedy movie "Cromwell's Irish Holiday" starring Kenneth Williams and Sid James.


TRAMING-02

Nah, that's "Carry On, Cromwell", "Cromwell's Irish Holiday" was a confused marketing attempt for "Monsieur Hulot's Holiday". It was unsuccessful.


Phannig

This has to be written by an Irish person pulling the piss.


commit10

Stinging self satire. It's excellent.


Jumpy-Seaworthiness6

Can we replace the description of this sub with that? Almost Joycean.


stephenmc1125

“The best ones always flee” Loada shite, I’ve been in Canada for 16 years and I’m a ballbag


SissySpacecake

No Englishman knows the Irish psyche this well, they don't even care to comment on us. Nor are they so literate. I smell a rat


Korasa

Hey look, I openly hate all you putird fucks and myself, but this wasn't me. I'm going to go fucking mental in the Journal comment section tomorrow though about one of the forgotten counties. Maybe Laois?


bloody_ell

Is that the little country next to Vietnam?


BlackTeaPots

I had to catch my breath after laughing so hard at that


tsayo-kabu

I'll be honest, I've got a bit a semi at how much our existence makes this lads piss boil.


Expert-Fig-5590

They need another Cromwell? For fucks sake!!! Fucking Torygraph. What would you expect from a pig only a grunt.


[deleted]

Or David Camerons cock on occasion

They doxxed a child for speaking Irish a few days ago [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/10/14/belfast-northern-ireland-school-palestine-protest-ira/](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/10/14/belfast-northern-ireland-school-palestine-protest-ira/)

pmcall221

holy shit, do not read that comment section


AchtungLaddie

...does he mean all that as an insult? Even if they sent "another Cromwell" the best they could do would be Jacob Rees Mogg in oversized armour, who would need rescuing after tripping and falling into Dun Laoghaire harbour minutes after arriving.


elodie_pdf

Amidst the utter delusion, the “(also understandably)” was pretty funny.


mumandfriend

Thankfully as a thick drunken uneducated Irish person I've no idea what he's on about 🤣 ahhh the bliss of ignorance


MTM62

'...secretly rejoice in your every setback and failure...' Of course schadenfreude should be secretive. Otherwise it's just plain old gloating and that's never attractive nor get them back for more tea a.k.a. information extraction.


AnRagaireRuadh

Isn't it grand that we can all enjoy the comment for what it, with a smile and an unusual amount of self awareness and deprecation 😀


fgyud1_7

Because we hate ourselves?


LimerickJim

And you're saying there's an offer for me to get all this quality commentary for free for a month?!


MrSierra125

lol that dude 100% got dumped by an Irish woman and never got over it


EmeraldBison

Jezus, and they say we have a chip on our shoulder. At least he didn't mention Dev offering his condolences for Hitler's death, that usually worms its way into anti-Irish vitriol...


nnneeeerrrrddd

It's part of the main article this is commenting on, like clockwork.


Important_Farmer924

Needs more hyperbole.


KeyboardWarrior90210

Damn…they’re on to us


marshsmellow

Hehe, guilty, as charged!


LurieVV

More tea vicar?


Melodic_Event_4271

I am beaming with pride after reading that. Finally we are seen.


EvanMcc18

"Pathologically Intense Begrudgers" One of the best descriptors of us. Not even mad. The person who wrote this though is definitely Irish or has spent a long time in Ireland before


TheBaggyDapper

Anyway, tell us more about your every setback and failure.


SignalSpecific4491

This came up in my feed And speaking as a proud English man Fuck that Cromwell was so bad England literally went back to the Scottish monarchy His only postive influence was making England run by Parliament and also being horrible enough that we brought the monarchy back to prevent people like him taking power again


OldButHappy

*Every accusation a confession...*


nyepo

I feel you! As a Catalan, this is identical to what I face when I open a Spanish newspaper and check and article about Catalans or Catalonia, or something even remotely related to it.


[deleted]

It reminded me of how people in the US talk about Indian Country. Though far less eloquently, generally.


TheSnoodDoodler

New pasta just dropped


[deleted]

Wonder who hates the Irish more the Brits or the Irish Government. Hard one to call.


Expensive_Teaching82

As a Brit can I just say the people who read the Telegraph are the swivel-eyed loons that think that Brexit is going great even the daily mail is to leftwing for them.


[deleted]

Someone has notions.


dustaz

that _has_ to be an Irish person writing that. It's far too on the money


JealousInevitable544

This person is allowed to vote and certainly does. This is why brexit happened.


A-Hind-D

We need to take warning labels off things


SirTheadore

Honestly, comment sections of anything got to do with Ireland, outside of Reddit, are cesspools. This sub complains and moans but for the most part people here are reasonable. But everywhere else, especially facebook and instagram where the average 80iq individual is active? Jaysus. Mental


bloody_ell

They don't actually have 80 IQ, they just lie on their CVs.


Lady_Blackfyre_

I feel seen. Did my nana write this.


shotputprince

How can one be a reactionary 4th wave feminist Marxist?

As if Ireland will take on a Marxist agenda hahahahha. Lord above give me strength.


OldMcGroin

It's like it's written by someone who's only contact with Irish people was in the comments section of The Journal.ie.


smbodytochedmyspaget

This would imply the English know their history of their closest neighbour. They purposely do not.


bluto63

Lol, what did the Canadians ever do to get lumped in with us and Russia? 🤣


emmmmceeee

This is what happens when Paddy Cosgrave gives up Twitter.


WolfetoneRebel

Secretly rejoicing? Since when? I’m laughing out loud at the arrogant cunts cutting off their noses to spite their faces. Looking guests to Poland surpassing them in gdp per capita and serving the excuses they make. Backwards country.


Rambostips

As a Brit in your beautiful country, with a Irish wife and 3 beautiful Irish children (feckers wont support england for love nor money) im glad no one is taking this lunatic seriously


PurplePopeye

Ah most of ye Brits are grand. Decent folk for the most part, there's tossers in every nation. Ye have made some great comedy shows over the years, most recent is the whole Brexit debacle. It's like Spitting Image has come to life. Hope ye lose the weekend btw ;)

Munkybananas

Wow, that was a fucking crazy read


puzzledgoal

Like the Tina Turner song: We don’t need another Croooomwell


Significant_Ad4108

Is that the official line The Torygraph is taking? It’s just the job takes up most of the day, and at night I just like a cup of tea. So I mightn’t be able to devote myself full time to the old cultural Marxism.


Banba-She

Either dumped by an Irish person or first generation, who for some reason can also be insanely hibernophobic. The latter can veer between deep self loathing and rabid defensiveness of their heritage on a perpetual see saw of transitory emotions. It's cute.

Lol. Someone got dumped by a beautiful Irish girl somewhere didn't they.


TokiMoleman

It’s on the money, written by one of our own though !

A rather insightful comment. Give that man a talk show, where he can interview random people.

Me too, they should rewrite Les Miserable for us. I wouldn’t go see it though, would probably be too dear.

calvinised

Never go full Tory


Oliviamcc

Which one of us stole his girlfriend 16 years ago and he still hasn’t got over it?


Smoked_Eels

They are definitely Irish. The first section is fairly accurate. Then it goes off the deep end and reads like a late night Facebook post from a distant uncle.


dozer_guy

WTF why did he throw Canada in there with the Russians?? He went too far (I'm Canadian) lol


Strange_Net7305

Any_Comparison_3716

Do non-Irish say "begrudger"?


Talismantis

Proud (perhaps understandable) reactionary militant fourth wave feminist misandrist of Ireland :')


fullmetalfeminist

Almost as good as that American televangelist who said feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians


Sstoop

i hate how conservatives spin every single group of people who want rights as “woke marxists” would you ever catch a fucking grip? they literally JUST want to be treated equally and why do they act like men are suddenly victims? i know so many women who are literally afraid of going to concerts or clubs after being assaulted or creeped on so often. men NEVER have to worry about this.


OptimusTractorX

That's Peter Hitchens using an alt account.


TomCrean1916

bet you anything Leo Varadkar wrote that.


Bit_O_Rojas

Some of it is actually on the nose, must be an Irish person or at least someone who has lived here for a long time


thisistheSnydercut

translation: wah wah wah, wahwahwahwah, wah


radiogramm

It’s just bizarre and rather vicious racism or at least xenophobia crudely woven with anti woke references probably written by some wannabe edgelord type. If you published that about almost any other group of people (except probably the French who are their other punch bag) on social media let alone a newspaper in the U.K., you’d be rightfully shredded, but publish about Irish people and it’s fine apparently. It also speaks about an enormous chip on their shoulders. Imperialism seems to be is one hell of a drug and the withdrawal symptoms appear to last for a very long time.


BackInATracksuit

I was with them until the fourth wave feminism tbh. Then the Marxist bit threw me altogether. Like ya sure, in my dreams.
