Nah mate, it's a day in the year in which we use this as an excuse to wear green and get pissed the fuck up.
Ps.
I'm Irish.
Well, to be fair, the U.S. (and others I'm sure) has spent decades ensuring it's a day of obscene alcoholism and debauchery
I've had friends and family say it's quite a spectacle in Ireland too
We'd be to drunk to notice today, a smart strategy.
Eh, it's pretty dumb but it's just footage of training and testing.
Enjoying St Paddy's day?More like a love letter that our bullets/rockets/Bombs remind of us your four leafed clovers as they penetrate and destroy
Army has regulation of getting fucked up, but it can still fuck you up!
Happy White Man's Day!
*p.s. footage may or may not be of brown people getting killed on this holiest of white days*
What does it have to do with today's holiday!?
It would be like ISIS beheads someone and four leaf clovers come gushing out
Just wish a good holiday and move on, why show the military dominance and showing of rounds being launched covered up by ugly ass Adobe Effects
This ain't 1914. They are white.
The same thing that changed with Italians, Germans, a bunch of other groups, and currently some White Hispanics, they assimilated them into being White AmericansRemember when Americans treated the Irish like shit? I wonder what changed.
Haha!
At first I assumed people were overreacting about something.
Then I watched. I'm not sure what I just watched.
I couldn't give a fuck about Irish Americans.This ain't 1914. They are white.
And even if you can argue that "Irish" aren't white. This is the US Army celebration of a very Irish-American relationship. And Irish-Americans are deemed white. The whitest in fact.
But save that debate for another thread.
Funny thing about White Hispanics. There's some twitter business of Spaniards and Portuguese calling themselves Latinos and it's a low sizzle drama at the moment.The same thing that changed with Italians, Germans, a bunch of other groups, and currently some White Hispanics, they assimilated them into being White Americans
I hope its equally hilarious tbhI can't wait to see what they have in store for Cinco de Mayo...
Then ask yourself why is the US military tweeting a celebration about an Irish phenomenon with a celebration of guns and missiles?I couldn't give a fuck about Irish Americans.
This is the Irish national holiday not "White people's day".
That can get fucked.
Then ask yourself why is the US military tweeting a celebration about an Irish phenomenon with a celebration of guns and missiles?
Do you see the Irish doing this?
From the US perspective St Paddys day is an Irish American day of drinking and debauchery. Which is what the tweet hints at. A day of frivolous merrily. So from their perspective, this St Paddy's Day is an Irish American celebration.
Either way. The tweet either makes no sense. Or is a celebration in a very wrong way. And from a predominantly white perspective.
American military marketing is all based on this weird conception of war as a fun vacation or gap year or something where no one who matters actually gets killed.
Like, look at this shit
I wasn't posting from an Irish perspective.Of course it makes no sense, we are a neutral non aggressive people. Its literal cultural appropriation for a killing machine.
Calling our national holiday white peoples day is offensive in the extreme to any Irish person, reducing us to our skin tone and removing any differentiation from our neighbours and i shouldn't have to explain why that's offensive and frankly fucking racist.
