PLEASE ASK ABOUT MY 80,000 WORD WALLACE AND GROMIT SLASH FICTION. PLEASE.

The plantation of Ulster was the prototype for settler colonialism, it set the tempo for every imperial venture after. At the same time, the unionists of Ulster had legitimate reasons for fearing minority status in a 32-country Irish republic, considering the borderline theocratic identity the Irish Free State and later the Republic of Ireland assumed. That said, the supression of catholic civil rights in the north gave the IRA exactly the foot in the door they needed to ignite a civil conflict that was then exacerbated by the RUC and the loyalists, which lead to the troubles we all know and love and while I won't concede to the flattening narrative that considers both sides in the conflict equally culpable I will concede to the idea that Ireland, all 32 counties of it, is in conclusion a land of contrasts.

The Birmingham Six are free, when will the rest of Great Britain and Ireland be free?

It is kind of funny that they privatized ireland by letting people invest money in invading it then rewarding them with plots of land in proportion to how many shares in the war they bought.

Looking at loyalist paramilitary stuff I'm like :stare: but it became pretty clear by the '80s if not sooner that bombing them into submission wasn't going to work.

I'm not gonna pretend that the IRA were angels, but in a contest between natives and settler colonialists I'm always going to side with the natives. :shrug:

The idea that to be for the natives = being for bombings is where you get snagged ... hook, line and sinker.

After the early years the killings weren't really for anything, it was just bombings/killings for the sake of bombings/killings

The IRA was not really able to fight the unionists, and vice versa. That is a really important part of understanding The Troubles. They could shoot the RUC and British soldiers who patrolled in areas they held, but other than a handful of attacks, what both groups of terrorists mainly did is make things unbearable for the people they claimed to represent. And after the GFA got done with, those people are still screwing over their own by being corrupt and having retrograde opinions on social issues so they can grandstand about standing up for their culture.

And how long does it take to become a native, exactly? I mean some of the plantation settlers are 15 generations deep at this point. The Normans who some of the Irish brought in to fight their own wars were 30 generations ago. Do they count?
