History and Analysis of the IRA

War of Independence/Civil War no, Troubles era yes.

The IRA as it currently exists is a criminal gang. IRA in name only. Ireland as it currently exists has two lefty parties with the same goals and ideals, and every alternative party which gets airtime is even further to the left. There is no party politician today which will put the needs of the Irishman before the needs of the EU, and the system is set up in such a way that if you're not part of a party then you get fuck all power.

This thread is gold, thank you for the effort, OP.
Lookin forward to more

Nice work OP. Though I can hardly commend all the acts of the IRA, I think it prudent that if we ever wished to emulate them (in minecraft) we have this vast source of knowledge to draw from, especially regarding the financial war and the elites.

Why did they change?

The Provisional IRA did absolutely nothing wrong.

They're Brits trying to shit on the Irish who fight back, like they've always done.

Yes and no. The IRA are Marxists, the Provisional IRA who split from the "original" IRA were nationalists with socialist leanings. But don't call them "national socialists" or they freak out because
And such poppycock.

This is to be expected considering that the Provo's leadership was closely related to the 1960s IRA Marxists. But to ignore the distinct split between them and the Marxists is dishonest.
Another thing to consider is that the political wing of the PIRA is Sinn Fein. While virtually all of the nationalists supported them in 1998, there are many veterans who claim that Sinn Fein betrayed them by not pushing for full independence.
Indeed, Sinn Fein appears to be collaborationists with the (((System))) now and they do sell out Irish interests to serve the jew and to serve Brussels. How ironic.

I believe that one of the biggest lessons we can learn from the Good Friday Agreement is that we will need to religiously police our non-violent wing (in minecraft) to keep them honest. The Purge that the Provos did in 1992 should have been done on Sinn Fein as well to weed out collaborationists.
On the flip side, I have heard plenty tell that Sinn Fein gave loads of cushy government jobs to PIRA veterans after the war. So it's not like they didn't gain something for their struggles… at least, not the leadership.

But that's the trouble with the long war. People get tired and the longer it goes on, the more likely someone will settle for less.

Thanks, fellas.
And I agree completely. Waging guerrilla war against the minecraft mobs will be very difficult.
The path to victory, in my mind is to take out the redstone conductors that supply the enemy's bases with electricity. Then they will be dealing with their pet golem running amok, causing billions of emeralds of damages while we sit cozy in our dirt hovels.

Interesting and high quality thread, thank you OP. I didn't know much about the IRA before thanks to (((education))) but I will pick up a book on the subject.

you should read "fry the brain: the art of guerilla sniping" it has a chapter on the IRA
