The current population have firmly rejected any notion of traditional Irish culture.
Our most significant PM of the last 2 decade's is a polyamorus gay atheist Jeet, married to man. Our current president is a far left pro Iranian marxist. Our police commissioner is a UDR man and the lads burning the immigrant hotels march with the UVF. Conor McGregor's a bacon and wears a poppy.

Modern Irish culture revolves around selling cocaine to middle class Europeans and laundering money through various IP related tax scams and government and NGO facilitated human trafficking operations.

>>213514373
considering nowadays Britain is Pakis and Nafris pretending to be British it just makes the whole thing even more bizarre

There's something tragic about the contemporary understanding of "culture", as if it's some kind of hat that you wear
Culture is necessarily a reaction to another group of people, exclusionary to the point of a life and death conflict.
Currently, we're wading around in the flotsam of earlier cultural projects. There's an understanding that the old (folk dance, cute dresses, old instruments) isn't serving us in any meaningful way, but the "enemy" also hasn't manifested clearly enough to bring people to a point where new potent culture is being made. It's a liminal period.

I mention an enemy because it's paramount for the creation of real culture that there's an understanding that nothing can be created with merely good intentions, good taste and hard work. It requires a clear political vision (us and them) with a vicious rage fueling the fire. There has to be a clear understanding that it's a fickle thing, being a people in a country. It's so easy to contract in that situation, to become lazy, to stop expanding, to degenerate. Art, culture and life is easy when you can expand your borders, the life and death mentality comes free with that kind of political project. People first need to understand all these things.

We can point to old cultural artefacts but that isn't the culture because it's not something that's actually invigorating a community

They endured 800 years of British rule and even lost their language, but I want to praise that they did not fully assimilate into the British.
What’s so great about that?

For example, Egypt lost all the colors, religion, and language of ancient Egypt and assimilated into the Arabs, becoming just one Arab.

The japanese is an elite people, you can clearly sense their viciousness in all that they do. They didn't "contract" because they knew what it meant to build the nation and to build the culture. It's no surprise that they went for warfare and expansionism when they were given the chance and after failing that, focusing on managing their world with soft power. But, it must be said, even they are right now feeling the ennui, to some degree.

What's fucking up western countries is that there's a sense of the united states being in charge of producing the culture. The Netherlands or Ireland can basically look at Spiderman and say, yea, that's me, kind of. Asians can't do that, so at least they have to put some effort into creating a mythos. Many western countries rest on their laurels and watch american movies and listen to american music. And when people ask about their culture, they just point to some old stuff that technically qualifies as a cultural product. It's stasis

At least the new Irish are assimilating.

There are still 200,000 fluent Irish speakers, and more that can speak it to lesser ability, so the language is very much alive, but it's just not thriving. The language has survived this far, into the digital age, and is well documented at this point so it will never go extinct.

Of course, it will never be revived to the extent of being our first language. English was in the right place at the right time by being lingua franca when the world became globalised. It's also the language of the USA, which doesn't look likely to lose its position as the world superpower any time soon given its military investment and dominance on cultural exports. There's too much inertia for English to lose its place as lingua franca by now. It's already our first language so there's no mechanism, practically speaking, by which it gets dethroned by Irish given its strengths. As time passes, we'll gradually see other smaller languages fall out of use in other countries. All we can do is preserve these so they can at least be kept alive in academic sense, even if not being used as vernacular.

There's still more to culture than just language and even then, the way that the average Irish person engages with the language (through school, going to the Gaeltacht in summer as a teenager, etc.) is still a shared experience that is unique to us. By definition, it can be considered Irish culture.

It's all about the craic.

Culturally a lost cause, the constitution is not part of the curriculum and neither is the anthem, the language isn't compulsory, traded Britain for the EU and became a redditesque caricature of a nation of historical revisionists that traded our sovereignty to the EU and google but instead of infrastructure bought cocaine and ukrainians, pregnant men and jeets.
We unironicaly parade every year and celebrate the first person to come here and cuck us.
