Those "reviving the West" must study the way the Irish poets crafted the Irish identity in the 19th Century

This Identity carried WELL past our Revolution.

Today being Irish has a high status "magical" quality few Europeans get away with

Even though we're all dopes in reality
These poets, like all good poets, played loose and fast with the Truth

Are we Irish all some form of mythical Celts oppressed by the capitalist Brits?

Ehrm, no, haha, the British are as "Keltic" as we are, and we're as greedy as them now that we've got the means
But the DREAM is what counts

The idea in the American's head about the "magical Keltic homeland" that they must support

You only really see this with Israel in the modern world

The "identity crisis" that the West is going through is because it lost its DREAM POWER
