Scotland thrived on three things: The Protestant reformation, The Williamite Revolution and The Act of Union.

just me 2 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Why insult me by saying I'm "not the strongest shamrock?If you’re seriously insulted about this then you need to have a word with yourself. I don’t think you are though, I think everybody in your house went to bed and you’re just up playing with your keyboard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorky Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 It’s 2021 and grown men still believe some of this is acceptable in a modern society. Should we not be education the next generation that the way forward is tolerance and unity not bigotry and racism. Otherwise the cycle of hatred is just passed on to the next group of young men and women who look up to their parents for guidance and wisdom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 It’s very surprising to me that some people would claim that h*n =/= Protestant. The term has been used in Ireland to refer to Protestants for a long time, and was coined by James Connolly in 1916 to refer to the English and Scottish (or Brit-H*n) “hordes” that were coming over to Ireland to take the jobs of good Irish laddies, which then forced them into the trenches in WWI. If you’re ignorant about the origins of the word, it doesn’t excuse your bigotry Anyway, the more interesting story to me is that the Daily Record thought that sectarian tweets from a couple of absolute nobodies who appear on a Rangers podcast was worthy of three pages in the paper, including the front page splash. There’s no doubt the tweets are sectarian/offensive. But it’s also clearly not front page news. The Record story and the fall out from it instead reminds me of that letter about “cancel culture” that JK Rowling and a load of other bigots wrote last summer. At the time, cancel culture was being used by the powerless to hold powerful people to account. It was great at removing some genuinely disgusting pieces of shit from public office or positions of influence. That letter though was misinterpreted by a lot of people as a critique of cancel culture. It wasn’t. The authors merely wanted to turn the tables, and use cancel culture to silence their critics. Since then, we’ve seen a load of absolute nobodies (like these H&H guys) get “cancelled” while loads of other people with similar (or worse) histories that actually have influence (the Daily Record and their journos, in this analogy) have nothing to worry about. Obviously, this is on a much smaller scale in Scottish football, and none of this really matters, but I thought it was the obvious parallel. This has most prominently taken the form of leftist activists being cancelled by the media - the amount of people who got sacked for Palestinian solidarity was probably the nadir of this. “Cancel culture” (or whatever you call it) ain’t what it used to be, and it’s probably not our friend anymore. It’s also very, very funny to see journalists made to look like total c***s when their old tweets are brought up. You’d have to have a heart of stone not to laugh at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re ignorant about the origins of the word, it doesn’t excuse your bigotry Rudyard Kipling used the term 14 years earlier than Connolly to describe the Germans. But that isn't the base use of the term either. Anyway, discussing this is a deflection from the Ibrox club associating themselves with bigots over time, and trying to appeal to a section of support by utilising sectarian symbols. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
