Fuck the Irish. They're Eurangutans and Europoors and have been pining for EU boot for for decades.
I mean sure, Britain is shit, but the EU is shittier at this point. The Irish are too domesticated to not have a master. They don't crave independence, they just want a different tasting leather.
You're right. If Ireland wanted to revive its nationalism, it had an opportunity when Brexit offered to drive a split between the British Isles and the continent. Instead they went full EU cocksuck and tried to use everything as a cudgel against the UK while kvetching over Northern Ireland, which can join with Ireland whenever it wants as per the Good Friday Agreement (summary: they don't want to).
Irish nationalism has always and only ever amounted to acting out of spite for their nearest neighbours, whom they'd be better off recognising as the closest thing to friends and allies they've got. They prefer globohomo's tender caresses, somehow failing to recognise them as molestation. Ireland was well and truly buck broken after the vote on the EU constitution in 2009 - where they got a second referendum due to voting 'wrong' the first time, and dutifully changed their preferences as their EU masters ordered. That would have been the time to build on EU scepticism, all this shit now is way too late.
The UK has more Catholics than the entire population of Ireland, but the Irish think their Catholicism is somehow going to be persecuted by the English.

Northern Ireland now has more Catholics than Protestants.
The UK has more Catholics than the entire population of Ireland, but the Irish think their Catholicism is somehow going to be persecuted by the English.
You're missing the point
