Sinn Fein is the same

Sinn Fein *is* the official political branch of the IRA

also, the Unionist groups were also big drug dealers

wtf I love Unionists now

lol

Apache are you from Ireland?

Unfortunately no

Are you American

?

But I'm only a few generations removed from it

Yes

Of course

Irish-Canadian American

IRA is just a meme don't condescend

So you;re an outsider looking in. I have lived my entire life living in Northern Ireland

I have experienced hooligans and terrorists from both sides

You know nothing

I do think Sinn Fein is basically an opportunist party though

they're more concerned with Irish nationalism than with left-wing causes

No, that is wrong

Again, you know nothing

though I also think Ireland should be one country

I've heard Irishmen say that unification would be bad cuz the North is super poor

honestly Ireland is just a tax haven

Unification is bad

The south can't afford Northern Ireland

that's the majority of the Republic's economy

It was more industrious before they switched to the euro I think, I can't quite remember when the 'Celtic Tiger' started shrinking

Started after they joined the EU though

I know that

The Celtic Tiger did, not the shrinking

When you say "Tiocfaidh ar la" you carry the bloodshed behind those words

It's the same with Unionists who shout "No Surrender"

the Republic of Ireland also still has the major problem of the Catholic Church having too much power

That is a lie

>condescending on someone for their satire

The Catholic Church has no political power in Ireland

^

mmm

political power, no
