It's just a bad design, I get what they were going for, but it looks like the fist is rising directly from Washington's shoulder, defying biology. A bit like the notorious Goldeneye cover.
Irish tankies are so funny, they pretend that their country is made of brave communist freedom fighters suffering against the Anglo-American led imperialist corporate West when they live in a capitalist tax haven EU member state with one the highest quality of life standards in the world. They also don't ever want to mention how most of the IRA movement sympathized with Nazi Germany rather then communists for support in their struggle against the British.
It's even sadder seeing Irish tankies praise Russia invading Ukraine, because all of the vatnigger arguments that Ukraine belongs to Russia can just as easily be applied to Ireland and the UK.
I don't know if this is exactly true but I believe the only became socialist because they were getting money and guns from Libya. Also kinda ironic that they fight for a state where everyone is equal then go into a Protestant pub and shoot it up.
The only argument that these people pull is that they aren't in NATO which means that they are fighting western domination even though they are still apart of the EU and other organizations.
RW third-worldists are truly a fascinating breed of retard.
Irish leftists wish they were oppressed shitskins in the same way spics and Indians wish they were white.
The Irish tankies still seethe about Thatcher daily, same as their British counterparts.
SK has laws on the books banning tankies since any such groups would probably be swarming with nork glowies.
They really are the niggers of europe. I imagine if their skin was slightly more melanated they would be chimping out for gibs.
if irish are niggers what does that make gypsies?
Irish are high yellows, gypsies are darkskins.
Turkish secular Kemalists and Turkish Islamists may loathe each others' guts and disagree on immigration, but the two things that unite them is their militantly xenophobic nationalism and undying belief in Total Armo Death (TAD). Ask a nationalistic Turk about how they feel about Armenians and the Armenian genocide. Their views would make the most ardent neo-Nazi white supremacist blush. Even the left-leaning and "woke" CHP (a fairly left wing party in Turkey) supporters either outright deny or even justify the Armenian genocide with victim blaming rhetoric that mirrors Holocaust denial.
Stalin probably did more to cripple communism in the early 20th century as an actual international movement than fascism did. Not just Trotsky but so so many communist intellectuals, party leaders, Soviet intelligentsia were shot. Tankies unironically defending him-like this is just unconscious reflex. It’s one of the biggest divides in the far left-since Khrushchev-was Stalin a good guy that did nothing wrong or was he some terrible aberration that ruined the path to socialism? Far left subcultures usually default to the former more for internal purity/contrarianism. “Stalin killed Indian communists for no good reason “holder joke”-isn’t serious argument it’s a subculture defending a villainized figure.
Irish shitlibs and tankie types are a fairly vocal minority whose political beliefs and values don't exactly align with the majority of the population yet behave as if they're the spokespeople for Ireland and all its people. They're all a bunch of middle to upper class keyboard warriors who live in wealthy areas of Dublin larping as communists and socialists. I can assure you that they're not representative of the ordinary every day Irish person.
Irish lefties seethe way more about the US than the UK nowadays because of the whole Palestine-Israel conflict, which most Irish people honestly don't really care about anymore except the most fervent Paddystinian types. The normie shitlib types have gradually quieted down and no longer really talk about Palestine now. Those idiots make me embarassed to be Irish.
Towards the late 1910s and early 1920s right before Ireland gained its independence, the general British public was fatigued after World War I and already fed up with the Irish question in general. British politicians didn't see the point of governing a country that was overwhelmingly agrarian, poor, and never even wanted to be part of the United Kingdom historically in the first place. No person in Britain or Ireland alive today wants a united Ireland under British rule. Annexing the entire island of Ireland into the United Kingdom would be a massive strain on resources nowadays and quite frankly isn't worth it. Northern Ireland, the part of Ireland that remained in the UK, is largely viewed with indifference by the British public today. Billions of taxpayer money are spent on keeping the place afloat annually despite the lack of strong public appetite to retain it.
