Part of me wants Ireland to get knocked out of the Rugby World Cup.

Reason: only the bourgeoisie in Ireland play rugby. The working class mock them and their weird accents.

But Ireland have never won a World Cup in anyfuckingthng so maybe now I am a traitor? Should I swear loyalty to the Queen??

    bro the bourgeoisie are beating the shit out of each other for your entertainment! Its the best thing any of them have done for the working class in their lives!

    I’m able to look past politics to root for the USA at international events, so don’t feel bad about rooting for ireland. Its literally the only good white person country. besides maybe iceland?

      Don’t give us too much credit. We’re a willing aircraft carrier for American warmongering and a tax haven for its imperialism. There’s very little class consciousness, we’ve elected right wing parties for a hundred years and our state is based on the betrayal of our fellow nation members in the north of the country. Our current state leaders are going on about ‘Israel’s right to defend itself’ and supports America in all of its atrocities.

        Fair, I was more thinking culturally. Its the only white country I know of where everyone who visits has a good time, black, brown, lgbt. Obviously its capitalist and EU. But its not like spain where someone gets an aneurysm if someone thinks theyre morrocan, and black footballers get bananas thrown at them.
