The Rightboys were a secret Irish agrarian organisation in 18th-century Ireland which, from 1785 to 1788, protested against the payment of tithes, the charges imposed by clergy from both Catholic and Anglican churches, perceived unfair rents and agricultural labourers' wages. Compared by some sources to the Whiteboys, which had been active from the 1760s, the Rightboy movement was active initially in County Cork, with protest activities subsequently spreading to counties Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary, Kilkenny, and Waterford. The group was reputedly lead by the fictitious "Captain Right". As with similar agrarian agitation movements of the 18th century, the group engaged in violent resistance and protest, and were reputedly responsible for four deaths in County Cork during the 1780s. The group was also involved in non-violent forms of protest and succeeded, in some cases, in ensuring that Catholic bishops "fixed maximum payments for clerical services". The activities of the Rightboy movement saw a "lull" from 1787, when there was perceived expectation of political action on some of the group's grievances. The movement was ultimately superseded by groups such as the Society of United Irishmen (founded 1791).
The Whiteboys (Irish: na Buachaillí Bána) were a secret Irish agrarian organisation in 18th-century Ireland which defended tenant-farmer land-rights for subsistence farming. Their name derives from the white smocks that members wore in their nighttime raids. Because they levelled fences at night, they were usually called "Levellers" by the authorities, and by themselves "Queen Sive Oultagh's children" ("Sive" or "Sieve Oultagh" being anglicised from the Irish Sadhbh Amhaltach, or Ghostly Sally), "fairies", or followers of "Johanna Meskill" or "Sheila Meskill" (symbolic figures supposed to lead the movement). They sought to address rack-rents, tithe-collection, excessive priests' dues, evictions, and other oppressive acts. As a result, they targeted landlords and tithe collectors. Over time, Whiteboyism became a general term for rural violence connected to secret societies. Because of this generalization, the historical record of the Whiteboys as a specific organisation is unclear. Three major outbreaks of Whiteboyism occurred: in 1761–1764, 1770–1776, and 1784–1786.

starboy / white boy
i’ve fallen in love with someone
his name falls off the tongue like the juice of a peach slips out the center
its squishes like the ripeness of hot humid air
one too many years too old i wish for him when my eyes close to the new moon
its curves and arches across the sky as my wired brain creates circumstances
bumps lumps chumps i see him walking by
hands under him baggy sweaters cover his body
unaware of what desire he creates
my desires entice my wants my lust
how do i feel like i know him how do i feel a connection
fantasy
i want the fog to consume him and i into our cloud
we can sit in the sky and discuss to the beat of sufjans banjo
oh he’s too mainstream now
focus– focus on him my brain wired to make the correct scenario
dark hair trips down to the chin falls in front of his eyes
bony fingers move to relieve his sight from the hair that glistens in his sweat
pale skin with blue blood he looks like ice but feels like coals
bushy eyebrows covering the sun from his bleeding eyes
popped collar gas station worker chunky white sneakers have
gone
the morning sun shines through my window
i wake up next to my pillow
