So many things wrong with it…
The ‘white unity’ rhetoric
The ignorance. Like when has Ireland had a skin-colour-based identity? Our identity is half about fighting whites.
The scare quotes
Then just the reddity phrasing, “Hate to break it to you pal”
Greenland is really cool. Even though it only has the population of Waterford, they have their own language, their own culture going back thousands of years, their own myths/lore. Greenland is a true nation.
for the record, I think this meme is pretty bad and off-topic, but I’ll downvote it instead of removing
ok.ru is class for getting copyrighted movies, and they stay up for years
Explain false vacuum decay to me simply.

We are just asking the Anglos to try and understand the mythos we’ve cherished and loved and curated as a nation for so long. Or, if you don’t understand it, leave it be.
The fact that they get up-in-arms about the thought that some culture exsts that they’re not automatically entitled to use for the commodified entertainment industry… that is honestly typical of the Anglo inability to respect anyone else.
I reject the claim that Anglos have limitless entitlement to any material they find.
You underestimate how weird pop culture’s random assemblies are.
You can’t just have characters from the Fenian Cycle meeting with characters from the Morte Dartur, that’s a mess.
The fictional equivalent of what Robert Graves was doing. It’s just bad scholarship.
Fantasy is at least a part of traditional Welsh culture.
Overall I mostly agree with the article. It has to be made by culturally competent people.
Someone posted this recently - https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=wa_NWD_ytyE - and the butchering of Celtic myth and names is ridiculous.
