Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tiger" data-source="post: 123291" data-attributes="member: 353">You seem think that people who are from foreign nations being born in Ireland and claiming to be Irish is a 'red herring'. That's a strange position for a chap who claims to be more of an 'Ethno-Nationalist' than Padraig Pearse whom you claimed 'Nah'......to the suggestion that he was an 'Ethno-nationalist'. I'm pretty sure I know that Pearse didn't think of English and Scottish people as being Irish, and he'd be right. They're English and Scottish.  The paradox of self-proclaimed 'ethno-nationalists' of mixed heritage who imagine themselves as heirs to Padraig Pearse, the man who gave his life for a vision of Irishness steeped in culture, language, and sacrifice. Let’s untangle this.Irishness, as Pearse understood it, was not a mere accident of geography or a legal technicality—it was a cultural, spiritual, and historical identity, forged in the crucible of centuries-long resistance and nourished by faith, language, and tradition. To claim to surpass Pearse while standing on a foundation of diluted heritage and a hollow conception of identity that ignores these elements is, frankly, laughable.Mixed heritage doesn't disqualify someone from Irishness per se, but it demands honesty about what one is. If your identity is genuinely Irish, it will be expressed in your loyalty to its traditions, your reverence for its martyrs, and your commitment to preserving the Irish soul—not in trying to outdo those whose blood, faith, and sacrifices built the nation in the first place.If your 'ethno-nationalism' is just a badge to wear in online debates, untethered from the faith, values, and culture that define the true Irish ethos, you're not more Pearse than Pearse—you’re simply appropriating his legacy while contributing nothing to its continuation.</blockquote>
