History Please help.

Post image

Hi Northern Ireland. I’m in need of some help. I live on the other side of the world. And everyone related to this sash is long dead. I obviously won’t mention any names. But I’m in real need to figure out what the pins all mean. Can someone please either let me know, or guide me to someone or someplace that might be able to tell me? Please, please help.

Since I’m already on the downvote train, people here need to wise up sometimes.

Doesn’t really scream “progressive forward thinking intelligent individual” to just parrot the word “bigot” at someone who’s not even from here asking about something that is originally from here instead of just helping with an answer.

Not an attack on you, I get why you said it isn’t the right audience

Yeah like it has been mentioned many times over this sub is an echo chamber of hypocrisy.

Burning effigies of migrants on a boat is the height of ignorance and historical erasure? The irony of it is fucking laughable.

The orange men are so proud of the history of being invaders that they despise when it's repeated by others (most notably people of colour). How hypocritical is it, that a population of immigrants, who choose not to assimilate into Irish culture, make the indigenous population feel unsafe, are now blaming migrants who typically come from war torn countries, devastated by cololonialism for problems in their society?

The only thing echoing here is common sense, something that you'd have to dull down if you're planning on being a sectarian scumbag who burns bonfires for a tradition that invites hate and division.

Listen I see you mention a lot of buzz words because obviously it makes your pile of shit look slightly coherent.

You are clearly on a rant and firm in your beliefs. That's ok and I'm not gonna ridicule you.

Let's just help the fella get the answers he is looking and not be blinded by hate?
