Nothing makes me angrier than the right appropriating the symbols of anti-imperialist struggle.
These guys will wave signs of Patrick Pearse as a right-wing “Ireland for the Irish” nationalist statement. It’s a total dishonour to the memory of the Fenian movement, who didn’t promote anything like that. (Pearse was the son of an immigrant.)
The anti-immigrant movement is tied with the imperial core. It’s a fundamentally imperialist movement, not anti-imperialist.

You just broke me. Grew up in the 80s in Glasgow and just realised I have never seen fenian written down before. I have no idea how that’s possible
