    Not Irish, but I always assumed West Brit was just any Irish person with a colonized mindset that tried to act British? I imagine there are lots of those types in Dublin though

      It gets pinned on Dubliners from when the British queen Victoria visited Dublin in 1900 and was met in celebration with many people flying British flags. During a time close to the tipping point of the public's opinion on Irish independance, this was heavily scrutinized by the population that rejected Britain, labelling these Dubliners west brits. Here's a video with footage of the visit:
      ua-cam.com/video/q9gwnKH15Xo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=BritishPath%C3%A9
      Dublin was at the time the most culturally British, as 'The Pale' was historically Britain's primary territory in Ireland. Personally I find it a bit unfair though. I could just be a sensitive Dubliner myself, but the Dublin regiment fighting for Irish independance at the time was highly praised by other regiments for their work and efforts in the fight for Irish independance. It was the Dublin regiment that committed to the 1916 Rising, being a key event that influenced the population of Ireland's choice to work towards independance from Britain.
      It feels a bit odd to label Dubliners as west brits now, when most Dubliners completely identify as Irish. Whereas there is a huge population of people in Northern Ireland who genuinely identify as British, which legitimises Britain ruling over NI. It's somewhat misdirected, if you ask me. But if you ask anyone else from Ireland outside of Dublin, they'll say there's nothing wrong with it 😂

    I don't agree with their definition on West Brit. It's not exclusive to those from Dublin, and you can extend it to anyone Irish who has sympathies with Britain.
    And not to diminish the experience of those up north who lived through the Troubles, but it was a conflict that affected everyone on the island, we're a very small country after all. It's a bit insensitive to dismiss the experiences of others or to say that only those up north can have an opinion or share their experiences on it.

    • @doofer7598
      @doofer7598 Місяць тому +4

      oh, come on. i think the daily violence up north during the Troubles and the fact it’s still under occupation is a bit more concerning than your man down in the tip of the country in Waterford.
      sure, whole country was affected but if we start drafting up a comparison in experiences… i just don’t think they compare lol. like there were no Brits down the South, no UDR/UVF, and so on. (yes there were obviously IRA, etc. down South but what were they fighting for…? oh yes, to free the 6 Northern counties). the violence was largely contained in those 6 counties - not denying that there was no violence down south, because of course there was, but the scale is so tilted. it IS a unique Northerner experience, that has shaped our culture & identities, and has left long-lasting effects on people on both sides of the divide. speaking of which, this is a divide that you don’t really have - Catholics vs. Protestants is, again, more of a Northern thing.
      ask the majority of those living in the South of their personal experiences during the Troubles and they have little more to offer other than Gerry Adam’s’ voice being censored on the TV each night. they were pretty well insulated from the violence. unfortunately, i think this is something that hinders the North & South seeing eye-to-eye at times, because many in the North would believe that the South had it ‘easy’ and don’t care about the 6 counties, who felt/feel abandoned. have to redirect our eyes back to the common goal of the coloniser that is England!

      @@doofer7598 I understand where you're coming from and I agree with a lot of what you said, but I think the comment he made was not about the violence specifically. He just said that by virtue of being from Waterford, you would be completely guarded from the Troubles as a whole, and therefore couldn't have an opinion ("talking out your hole"). But that statement by itself assumes that everyone south of the border had no dealings, had no friends, had no family, or had any other personal connections north of the border at all.
      It's a big generalisation and I would argue that it's harmful to make sweeping statements like that. For reconciliation and progress to be made, I think it's important to be inclusive and give space for opinions from all sides of the conflict - because like you've said, it's shaped the culture and identities of everyone on the island.
      In any case we're all in it together and we're aiming for the same goal of a United Ireland !

      Kneecap are 26, 30, and 34 years old. Their parents will have lived through it. You also don’t know their families, so a bold claim to make that they’ve contributed nothing in comparison to your wonderful family. Have you made up this claim because you’re a Unionist? Or is it due to where they come from and you’re reeking of classism?? Pick a battle x
