Why do people from Ireland LARP as Irish despite not being able to speak irish?

And than they act superior to immigrant subhuman americans who do the same
Don't they realize that they are LARPing just as much as the """Americans"""?

They hate Irish Americans because they are insecure about their own identity

FOOKEN PLASTIC PADDYS!!!!

Yeah.
The """Americans""" and """Irish""" are both plastic paddies.
Unless you can actually speak Irish, if you identify as Irish you are a plastic paddy

>thread about ireland
>only americans in this thread

But not even the irish themselves speak irish.

Exactly.
So they aren't actually Irish. They are LARPing just as much as the Americans

I didn't mean like that, but now that you mention it, it makes sense. The irish are not irish.

So you think that a non-Irish person who somehow speaks the language of Irish is more Irish than an Irish national of actual Irish ethnicity who speaks English?

I've focused on the word Irish so much while writing this that I have semantic satiation

the irish are just brits in a heroic state of denial

Very America-tier question

Yes precisely
This

But why do you consider language to be that much more important and relevant than the other things

If you define it by religion and descent the “Irish” Americans are Irish

false.
Irish Americans are enormous faggots.

Can you stop spamming this on every thread

>irish
>culture
The Irish lost their culture.
They are now just a watered down Anglo culture, like the Canadians. But they still LARP as Irish despite not being able to speak the language

no they arent you amerimutt they are you.

Enjoying Amsterdam, Seamus?

>burgers are so mutted they can't wrap their heads around blood being determinant

By that logic New Jersey is an Italian state and there are tons of Irish people in the North of America

After hundreds of years of struggle against their occupying country, they've lost their unique identity, culture, language, and traditional values. Now they're like every other Western European country. So to answer your question, a superiority complex is all they have left. Wait for the angry paddies with their mutt memes and you'll see what I mean.

They'd have to actually affirm their identity by living it instead of just wanking to it.

You wrote an entire sentence but said absolutely nothing

Nah, when I went to Ireland, thanks to Jow Forums I was really careful about remotely implying I might be Irish heritage or anything, even though 3 of my grandparents were born there and I look quite Irish but they don't actually give a shit.

Even after a few minutes of conversation about US/travel plans (basically knowing I'm American), they'd ask if I was Irish and I'd reply with some autistic non answer and they'd just be like "Uhh but you're ethnically Irish.. right?" this was true for the old folks and younger chav like ones I met in pubs.

Yeah, believe it or not Jow Forums isn’t the best indicator of how people in certain countries actually think.

language has nothing to do with your ethnicity

No shit, I was mostly joking about it being Jow Forums - but there's no other country we have a such a relationship with in terms of muh heritage and the entire plastic paddy thing. So I was trying to be careful on that regard.

Italy is close but there's a language barrier between the guidos of New York/New Jersey and actual Italians. Irish-Americans and Irish speak the same language so they are far more keenly aware.
