    I’m honestly surprised neo-nazis haven’t tried doing the aryan neo-pagan thing with the irish yet: white skin, red hair, vaguely pagan celtic aesthetics co-opted as like a second pole of aryan ubermensch.

      The Irish don’t have a history of conquest or “warrior culture” stuff that the neo-nazis like to co-opt.

        They do have some but half of it is inside clearly legendary and incredibly funny book which cannot be repurposed for fash, and the other half is very old, badly documented and have names straight out of Robert Howard stories.

        Also later, and much better documented are Irish struggles against two of the favourite groups of western fash: vikings and Brits.
