Irish need not apply

I don't see how this is different from any anti-immigrant sentiment: more demand for housing, more competition for jobs, the usual talking points

Anti-immigrant sentiment is usually only applied to people on the wrong side of
- I mean, he says it right there: it's not about skin colour it's economic

This isn't about the Irish. It never is, this is about foreigners. There are a lot of these people in this country, our racist anti-immigration folks are probably larger per percentage of population than the US. This person is talking about immigrants. Not Irish people, they're saying "Irish" here because they know if they say "brown people" they'll be shouted down for saying the quiet part out loud. So they dip into old school anti-Irish racism as a smokescreen. Surprised they didn't use Italians tbh, probably couldn't find an article to back up their racism with "science."

At least they've gone masks off about white migrants being "culturally similar" or some shit.

"And most important of all! Every industrial and commercial centre in England now possesses a working class divided into two hostile camps, English proletarians and Irish proletarians. The ordinary English worker hates the Irish worker as a competitor who lowers his standard of life. In relation to the Irish worker he regards himself as a member of the ruling nation and consequently he becomes a tool of the English aristocrats and capitalists against Ireland, thus strengthening their domination over himself. He cherishes religious, social, and national prejudices against the Irish worker.... This antagonism is the secret of the impotence of the English working class, despite its organization. It is the secret by which the capitalist class maintains its power. And the latter is quite aware of this."

It's actually concerning how true this is in Aus. The correlation of your family being well off and them being a nominal member of Anglican/Scottish Prebyrtarian denominations compared to catholic/other protestant/any other religion approaches 1.

Never a good sign when even the Irish are getting their white cards revoked

Particularly not by the Irish either

Isn't australia already outrageously expensive?

Yeah, but like Berlin Expensive, not like London expensive.
Ireland is one of the most expensive places in the world but the only jobs that can really keep up with increasing prices of everything are like, American tech companies and pharmaceuticals. So anyone who doesn't have expertise in those areas will either struggle to ever own a house or have to emigrate

26+6=1 but the 6 are the Australian states.

Critical support for the IRA annexing Australia in retaliation for the Brits taking the 6 counties.
hard DMZ surrounding Canberra with artillery readied at all times in case an anglo sneezes

NT will simply dissolve following a deluge of secessions and formations of indigenous nations

I love how the op sees one news.com.au article because it mentions Irish in Australia, olmate reads the thing because he assumes it's about other McLeary's in Australia, realises it's not, and starts blaming them for the housing crisis (which is due to white boomers).

Yet more evidence that Irish are PoC.

Right wingers are collecting all the variations of "I'm not racist, I have a black friend"

I mean at least they're honest, plenty of shit kicking racists, and nazis, in australia pretend they're totally fine with Irish people.

Australia should just be one mega-rich person living in an empty, decaying mansion somewhere constantly muttering about how their Amazon Prime delivery is late.

Why don’t the whites understand racism? They always collapse the structural into the individual.

This might also be due to Irish being the most vocally pro Palestinian of the white people

Before anyone yells racist at me, I have Irish ancestry in me.

I thought this was an American thing.

It's an English settler colony thing

i won't say it
- He can't be racist, his wife is [people implied to be racially inferior]!
white supremacist of aboriginal descent

How many levels of internalized racism is this
Read his book about extremism in Australia recently, laughably depressing how backwards some of these removed are tbh

How do we not have a Ned Kelly emoji

I guess this is the closest we got to a dude in a suit of armor. I'm surprised we don't even have some generic looking Knight Templar, but also not that surprised, considering all the good reasons against it.
- We have the Silver Knight, though.

Mass economic migration is a natural consequence of imperialism and the enforced massive economic inequality. But even by capitalist rules, migrants consistently contribute to a country than they take, though I'm sure most of that profit isn't going to proles.

Ah, that explains it.

"see, my next post can be racist towards brown people because my last post was racist towards white people"
- my next post will be racist against white people because my last post was racist against white people.
