It's a shame there isn't more about the Irish American participation in the Mexican American War on the side of Mexico. The US Army added another atrocity to their long list when they tortured and executed the Irish prisoners.

Put quite a few guys on queer st in my time down there.
That expression is going to fly over a few heads me thinks.

I often feel the same way when I see Irish Americans post anti immigration stuff, or Okies back home complain about migrants. Americans have a very short memory it seems.

Also, there is a really good book called "The Famine Plot" you should check out. It basically makes the case that the Famine should be considered a genocide.

Normally I spend all of March going to Irish American lectures, and attending the Irish American cultural center (I wanted to volunteer this year lmao ) so I dived into my Tim Coogan collection yet again. Easily one of my favorite historians ever. "The IRA" is the best book ever written on the subject from a historical perspective.

Think Canelo is descended from one of those gnarly Irish dudes?

LOL! You're responding to someone I ignore, but I know who it is just by this response (MistoGators when I first started ignoring him).

Solid choice. I always found the amount of right wing skinheads openly celebrating socialist messages interesting. Granted I always found the Red and Anarchist Skinheads (RASH) a bit silly. Whole bunch of people fighting over who gets to wear red laces and braces lol.

Did y'all do that whole "being cut in to a crew" up there?

Also it took everything in my power not to type out a ten paragraph essay about skinheads in the American History X thread. I'm getting better lol.

You're novels on skinheads is how we first started talking I think. And I wouldn't know about being cut in. I knew a lot of those guys, but I was never a bonehead.

Was the first thing I thought of tbh. Their seal was really cool too, combining the eagle and snake with the celtic cross.

It would make sense. A lot of the Irish that fought alongside the Mexicans fought bravely against the American imperialists and put up fierce resistance but many were captured after Churubusco and executed by the Americans (like most stories of Irish executions they died like true heroes talking shit the whole time)

But the Mexican government actually gave land go the Irish that fought for Mexico. So of course a bunch of Irish showed up after the execution like "hey... That war was crazy right? I was at the battle of Tequila and can I have land now?'"

Thus another interesting tale of Irish culture being folded into the fabric of another culture.

I miss getting paid to talk about history :(

You got me confused. Not a fan of the EC obviously but it's so far down my list of things to form a coalition about, I can barely see it.

My coalition to abolish white males is going strong though.

Looks like p4p left wingers are the most potent terrorists. Look at that success rate.

What can I say, I love history. Especially of lost subcultures. The cutting in was across all types really. Trads, SHARPS seemed more into it than the boneheads outside of the real hardcore WP types.

I was always labeled a fencewalker because I was some ska punk who still wore braces and laces but never shaved my head and hung out with the Trad skins and the SHARPs. I flew an anti Swazi and an upside down American flag on all my gear which got me tons of shit from my buddies but outside of getting jumped I was under the umbrella of certain crews.

Which rubbed some people the wrong way, to be affiliated without being an actual skinhead and a lot of Trads gave me tons of shit for being an Anti Fascist.

I actually got involved with the skins after being saved while being jumped by a bunch of Straight Edge kids. God damn those dudes were cunts.

You aren't ignoring me though. Unfortunately for you, mods know who reports what.

A funny mostly unrelated story: I was at the bar watching the fights a long time ago. It was Conor fighting Aldo. I always liked Aldo, and had rooted against Conor ever since he beat Max, but the bradda nearby was really supporting Conor. He looked full Polynesian and was definitely local.

So I was curious and just asked why he liked Conor so much. Beyond the fact he liked the style and the striking he said, “you know buh, the Irish are a lot like us. They’re Island people who were colonized and had so much stolen from them. They’re an extended island ohana.”

It was an interesting perspective. And then he about lost his mind when Conor just immediately destroyed Aldo.
