"wait no, why aren't you giving me free money anymore?" 
KNEECAP STATEMENT

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.

Some fellow republicans don't understand why they'd even take the money in the first place though

I've been to Temple Bar and Ukrainian whores sound like an upgrade over yank tourists puking in the street.

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.

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.

Another example of the intellectual bankruptcy of chudkind. Imagine having no ideals worth killing or dying for. A rat will die to defend her brood, but only a man will kill millions for an idea.

The EU isn't fit for purpose. It's a half-assed caricature of a serious alliance. If they weren't just the downy failson vassal of the US maybe I would actually support it.
Even after getting blown to bits in WW2, Europe had the largest industrial experience and skilled workforce in the world and now it's all pissed away

Tbh, the IRA slaughtered Irishmen with no qualms. They murdered all those people to fight βtyranny' only for Ireland to still be dependent on Britain to this day. Ireland literally can't defend its own airspace, they call Britain to do anything/everything.

All the freedom, none of the responsibility sounds like a win-win to me. Are you sure you're not a seething bongtard?

I mean, if calling up Britain to cry that they take care of your big boy business is freedom, no wonder they think killing other Irish is freedom fighting

If you want to die for something as shallow as your government, be my guest. But don't trick young people into killing themselves for something so worthless, we only get one life.

They may as well just join up with Scotland's independence movement to form a country together with a now equally rootless cosmopolitan βnationβ since the they have the same exact goals.

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.
