This based country doesn't get enough love. Go Ireland!
Why do foreigners look favourably upon the IRA? They are scum, and that is not a picture that represents Ireland

Why are they scum?

blowing up civilians to advance your political agenda is not something I can get behind tbqh

Not to diminise the awful loss of lives by IRA actions, the IRA never had a policy of targetting civilians, it was in most cases collateral damage. Free staters would rather deride Irish resistence though than try to hold the British and Irish states to account as participants in the Troubles
IRA are a shitshow. thieves, rapists, killers. to this day they bomb british army recruitment centers.
I'm getting a bit sick of republicanism here desu. Republican areas are starting to look like loyalist areas. Fucking murals everywhere. Fucking flags everywhere of all sorts. Fucking muh history, muh centenaries.
God I hate this fucking city. Anything other than South Belfast is pure cancer. And beyond Belfast are the culchies.

I see no problem with is. Who signs up to fight for the eternal Anglo anyway?
Up the Continuity!

You sound like a soft middle class cunt. Maybe you would be more comfortable voting for that tranny in the Green party
Kiss me, im 1/32 Irish!

Right because SF aren't totally up their own ass with progressive ideology?
SF want to abolish based Grammar Schools (you know those things that have enabled Catholics to gain some of the best results in the UK) because "muh equality"
Despite the fact that Gerry Adams and many more shinners benefited from and went to one (I should know I went to the school).
Just another hypocrite. Fuck, at least the DUP are honest about what they are.
Why does a supposedly fascist/extreme rightwing board glorify a revolutionary Marxist organisation like the IRA?
Why did the Americans support them in the context of the Cold War, especially considering that they were armed by Libya?
None of it makes sense.
>>71037183
Maybe because, I don't know, they weren't a Marxist organisation?
Every post from freestaters so far ITT has been naive cuckoldry. Is there someting in the water down there or have you been so emasculated by the EU?
>>71037001
I'm not a shinner brah. And I went to a grammar too btw
Fleg
>>71037183
It was first and foremost a Nationalist organisation, within that you had traditional conservative catholics, hardcore marxists and neoliberal progressives (who make up party policy now).
Realistically as long as British occupation of the north continues the IRA will never go away. Even as someone who doesn't agree with blowing up civilians for "muh freedom" It's a fact. "Ireland unfree shall never be at peace."
>>71037183
And American diaspora supported them because of romanticism. Most American's are pretty dumb about this, they didn't actually know what was going on
>>71037389
The Official IRA and the INLA were unabashedly Marxist/communist. They received training in North Korea ffs.
The Provos wore a lot of hats, but they were hardline leftwingers to the core.
>>71037183
They weren't full marcist they just used marxism tactics to push their agenda
>>71035958
Yeah, they never targeted civilians. The protestants killed in Kingsmill were merely collateral damage, but the removal of the British-made minibus that they were riding in was first priority. Delusional.
>>71035393
A civilian is just an unarmed soldier.
>>71037929
Not really, there was of a course a vague commitment to Connolly-esque socialism, but other wise cold war politics wasn't an issue for the PIRA.
>>71038032
kek, I read that in Willie's voice. Wasn't Kingsmill revenge for a loyaist massacre?
>>71038032
Kingsmill was never approved by the IRA, It was carried out by a rogue members calling themselves the "South Armagh Republican Action Force" in revenge for the Reavey and O'Dowd killings.
>>71038032
Please read my comment again. I said in most cases, it was a case of collateral damage and it is a fact there never was organisation policy of targetting civilians. Of course it did happen in some circumstances like Kingsmills as you mentioned, although that was carried out in in reaction to the loyalist McArevary killings at brigade level without consent of the army council which is why it was done under a different name. It was of course without any justification, but it does not change that it was an unusual deviation from common behaviour
Why couldn't he keep it in his pants, /pol/?
>>71038427
>a band of brain dead and unloved wankers killed 6 Catholics in this neighbourhood, instead of going after the perpetrators let's kill civilians too!
Literally the policy of all paramilitaries. The fact you - or anyone else here would dare support them - is an indication of how many people here are;
1. Underage people from NI who were born after the GFA, and aren't aware of how shitty the troubles were, or
2. Sheltered outsiders who think the IRA wear cool uniforms
Both are embarrassing
>>71036284
its better than sending letter bombs to offices/
Infact the only survivor of the Kingsmill massacre reckons that the people that committed the massacre where British agents.
>>71038550
The timing of the attack was too calculated to have been carried out as retaliation to the night before, you have to be fucking retarded to think otherwise. Also, that organisation WAS the provisional IRA, they simply were too cowardly to admit their role in the killing.

>>71038427
>other wise cold war politics wasn't an issue for the PIRA.
The soviets found the PIRA uncompatiable to support because of it's supremacy of Nationalist ideology over any commitment to socialism so it bascially excluded itself from being caught in the cold war. It assocaited with other non-aligned entities like Libya, PLO and ETA
>>71038899
He said that one of them had a thick English accent, but it was not unheard of sympathetic English people being in the IRA.
>>71035739
Sinn Fein and the IRA are the socialists that have been supporting refugees and immigration, you spastic.
>>71036192
They're the cancer that has killed Ireland.
Ireland has a comfy climate but they need some more forests, i heard they have loads of homeless tho.
>>71038821
They didn't know who killed them, thats the point. You cannot make sense of reactionary thinking, but it was applying pressure to loyalists they would strike back in the same way as striking them. Again, all reactionary killings of civilians was heinous and without legitimacy or justification
>>71038899
I think you are thinking about the Miami Showband Massacre
>>71039395
That's what I meant, any organisation with a tit for tat killing policy should not be glorified.
>>71039389
The forests was mostly cut down to make the British armada. Perfidious Albion does it again
>>71039511
Damn them beady eyes
>>71039511
You're literally acting like a dindu.
>>71039256
(Provisional) Sinn Fein have sold out.
>>71039483
The PIRA didn't have a tit for tat policy. It happened from time to time but it was never sanctioned at top levels. After Kingsmills, the army councils went to greater lengths to make sure it didn't happen because the backlash was counterproductive to their agenda. I don't believe in glorifying it as an organisation neither
>>71039854
IRA has always been Marxist/socialist.
>>71039624
Fun fact, we wuz literally kings before British occupation
>>71040073
You were savage, African-tier chieftans before the Norman invasion requested by the Pope.
>>71040073
you worshipped leaves and mushrooms until a English slave "Patrick" civilised you
>>71040194
It was requested by an Irish chieftain at war with his neighbours, not the pope
>>71040983
"This military intervention had the backing of King Henry II of England. Pope Adrian IV had authorized Henry to conquer Ireland as a means of bringing the Irish church into line. Diarmait and the Normans seized Leinster within weeks and launched raids into neighbouring kingdoms."
>>71040881
-We worshipped a pantheon of Celtic gods, many found as far as Gaul
-St Patrick was a Briton celt from Wales
-Ireland was mostly christianised by the time St. Patrick began preaching here

>>71038806

>You were savage, African-tier chieftans before the Norman invasion
Like Anglo-Saxon England then?
Dark ages were the golden gae of Ireland and Scotland. We brought christ to the Saxon savages worshipping thunder.
suck it, irecucks
even your IRA use our camouflage. kek
