"wait no, why aren't you giving me free money anymore?" 
KNEECAP STATEMENT
— KNEECAP (@KNEECAPCEOL) February 8, 2024
Weβve been blocked from receiving significant music funding because a Tory Minister doesnβt like our art.

Kneecap are cringe wigger larpers from Belfast that I assume no one else here will have heard of.
One of the members always wears a balaclava that looks like it was knitted by his nan for some reason
Their "unique" selling point is they are Irish communists who like drugs and hate Britain (what a fresh and exciting new perspective)
Their name comes from one of the IRA's signature moves
Kneecapping is considered a "trademark" of the IRA, although it became less popular over time because the disability and mortality incurred was unpopular with the community.
Kneecappings were a weekly occurrence in West Belfast by 1975.
Anyway, they recently applied for a British government grant, were obviously denied and now them and other various undesirables are crying about it on Twitter.

Back then there was a split between the "official" IRA who had become a bunch of tea house intellectual tankies who thought they could convince the prod working class to join them out of class solidarity blah blah and the "provisional IRA" who were hard lads from the slums who just wanted to kill prods. The tankies called them "green fascists".

Caring about independence only makes sense if you are ethno-nationalistic and want to have control over your ancestral lands. Getting young people killed for independence just so you can turn around and "open the borders" seems silly.
Might as well have just stuck with the Brits, more land, more people, likely a bigger economy as a result.

There are other conceptions of nationhood beyond ethno-nationalism. Originally Irish Republicanism was driven by Catholic religious ideology. Today, Ireland sees itself in opposition to "Little England" by being more cosmopolitan, more pro-EU, more welcoming to refugees.
Jump in the discussion.

The nation as an extension of the family, or the nation as an extension of the cult, are the only forms of "nationhood" that make sense to die for. A cosmopolitan, pro-EU state has no excuse to exist and exercise cruelty towards its citizens as states must by nature do.
It might as well just surrender to the pan-European federal dream and vote away its sovereignty. This is in part the reason I will never die for Norway, it makes little difference to me if I am governed from Oslo or Moscow.

They're making a hard distinction between who is currently allowed to vote (multicultural but "powerful"-serving UK) and who they think should be (a united Ireland, so they can multiculturally go solve their own problems about "the powerful"). It is a clarification that while technically a nationalistic endeavor they're NOT against immigrants being Irish, which is a common feature of other nationalist groups.

These guys boil my piss, their lead fella is an absolute peepee. A couple of mates of mine went to school with him and he was a massive creep and bully and if anyone called him out or fought back he would threaten them with his family connections, his granny or aunt or someone is a bigshot wealthy lawyer. his whole family are loaded and he keeps up the "i-i'm just a wee working class lad
from belfast 
tellin it like it heckin is!!! 
" front. he used family connections to get the band bankrolled and they dress it up as some bullshit story about how their financier just happened to hear them singing in a pub.
Also I while I'm being a hater I don't understand how anyone can enjoy their music, it's like an old person's idea of what hip-hop is, it just sounds so corny and dated, you half expect them to start their songs with "My name is X and I'm here to say". If you compare them to other modern socially conscious leftoid rap groups like Kid Kapichi the difference is night and day. I guess the Irish language music scene is still mostly dominated by trad groups and hearing something a bit more modern sung
as Gaeilge 
is a bit of a novelty but still.

Larping as actual militants are using the imagery is the most kitty footed thing. You're not the IRA, the only fighting
they do is against their gag reflex as their swollow peepee.
This also falls under

What always entertains me most about the NI question is the fact that plastic paddies and the people in the North who want to rejoin the Irish republic is no one actually wants Northern Ireland.
The UK would happily pass it back to the Republic as its a massive tax sink with few high earning jobs. And the actual Irish government don't want it beyond posturing because they cant afford it nor provide services to that many people suddenly joining.
