Do you think anyone in England is waking up thinking about ways to suppress Irish culture?

…

When someone says Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, do you think that person is talking about every common Israeli citizen, or specifically the Israeli government?

Like, this confusion is a much larger problem than Ireland/England. So I want to put a good effort into explaining it.

But first we need to get on the same page that the English royal family isn’t even eth ically English, they’re a cadet branch of the old French royalty before the French decapitated all their royals…

So pretty much the only people who’s had to put with the English royal family more than the Irish, are the English commoners. That’s why the English language is such a mess, there was no upper society enforcing rules on it as it grew, because the ruling English didn’t consider themselves English, they were the ruler of the English people.

Their culture was already pretty much erased by the time the English royals starting carrying about “England” and that was mostly just so the English royalty kept their heads. In private they likely don’t see themselves as English so much as as they see England as a representation of them, which is why they try to erase every other culture.

I hope some of that made sense because like I said, it’s important to understand when people criticize a country, they’re almost always referring to the government of said country, and not every last citizen…
