Almost everyone not from the US agrees they were commies though you dumb amerifat
Not to mention that even if they were “baste nationalists” it means either they always wanted to make Ireland a socialist shithole because they were always commies (this is the truth) or they were retards that just let their country be BLACKED anyway after murdering thousands of innocent men women and children.
Kek, almost forgot
The IRA are openly socialist, what the fuck are you talking about?
This isn't a secret, they were proud of it. Many former IRA members are apart of our socialist party, Sinn Féin.
I fucking hate Leo, he's a disgrace. This country's system needs to change, we can't let the corrupt fucks in Dublin choose who our leader is. We would have never voted for him if given the choice.
That's the issue, almost half the population, therefore almost half the voters, of the entire country are in Dublin alone.
Huh.
I'm sure our German friend would be more partial to the Baader-Meinhof Group
Thing is, the IRA started killing the British for no reason. The troubles was originally started by the UDA/UVF when they started bombing catholics, and when the British army arrived to defend the catholics against the UDA/UVF, the taigs just bit the hand that fed them and starting murdering Brits because "muh brits out". Britain was literally trying to save the catholics from the prods and the famine dodgers just stabbed them in the back.
That's not what I meant. We don't vote for our leader, he's chosen by other politicians.
Faggot from the USA that doesn't particularly like the cailphate of englandstand nor drunktopiareland here.
Why the fuck *does* the UK hold onto such a tiny-ass patch of such a shitty country so desperately? Just speaking as someone who knows nothing about either of your increasingly irrelevant little island's history, like, from an outsider's perspective it makes far more sense for the irish to want the brits gone than the brits to want a quarter of an island not connected to theirs that's full of worthless drunks/niggers turned inside out/actual niggers. Why do they cling to the place so hard? There's nothing about the border there that looks particularly organic. Is there just some huge strategic importance to owning like three counties there or something?
Northern Ireland isnt exactly the land of milk and honey, but it has more industry than the rest of ireland. plus there is a population there for now willing to still be british, which is another reason to keep hold of it. there's some small gold deposits in the border areas, and the region gives fishery control of the surrounding seas, and acts as a deterrent to people thinking they can sneak through the irish sea innawar. in short, irish rebels were able to make the cost of keeping ireland higher than its value everywhere but the north east.
on a personal level NI has the best gun laws in the country, and since the republic of ireland probably wont let them keep those laws im honour bound as a gun enthusiast to support the status quote for the benefit of what few people get to enjoy funs as a result. keep in mind thought that im a weirdo.
