Forest niggers have pure Indo-Celtic blood and thus are in contact with an older strain of steppe nigger mysticism; they also have a very helpful dose of atlantic eef megalithic builder blood to compliment their chimp genetics. Going to assume without any evidence he was anglo-irish as well

I read his Vision for an article I'm working on and by the end I actually started to think he was seeing through the veil or some shit with the automatic writing. Reminded me of the determined organization Dante did.

This shitty paperback is solid gold:

Whatever blood he carried, his heart was Irish all the way through. This will be readily apparent by the time you get to Cathleen ni Hoolihan. Read a bit of his history for context. Also at least a wiki page on the Gore-Booth sisters and Lady Gregory - and The Rising in general.

This may work slightly differently in a different OS but you should be able to overcome such small hurdles. Being able to reverse image search an image will now leave you free to better contribute to a thread by dding your own feedback or by asking educated questions - thus alleviating everyone with witnessing your need to being spoonfed answers to pleb tier questions.
