they just made the civil rights movement for catholics violent and fucking terrorist level, killed civillians, put fear in NI, fueled the hatred between north and south, established a borderline communist party with a scary amount of influence, and a shit ton of crime
o
And that it’s ultimately just a worthless group that made Northern Irish see England as a better alternative.
yeah
my grandma lived near the border during the entire troubles and it was hell
she had to commonly go between north and south
There are currently Dissident Republican groups.
They’re still there.
she had to park her car in an alley and cover the republic license plate or else unionist para groups would slash the tires, shatter the windows, and key the car
Red Hand Commando?
none in specific just lots of unionist para groups in general in that area
and the british soldiers would often give you shit for it apparently
and civillians
Can I say it’s not undeserved?
how?
Considering the amount of horseshit they put the people through, completely disregarding the surroundings of whomever they targeted, it’s not a wonder people with those Republic plates would get criticized.
most republic civillians were, well, civil
most of the troubles were shit *in* NI
pre-existing people
like look at Derry
Londonderry*.

the IRA was good
the PIRA was the bad shit
the IRA was in the 20s
Oh you mean the Easter Rising.
1916-1922.
the original Irish Republican Army
yes
That Home Rule movement.
yes
that was the IRA
there was the PIRA (provisional), the Real IRA, Continuity IRA, and like 5 more offshoots of the provos
the real ira was an even more communist offshoot of the provos
and the CIRA was those who wanted to keep fighting after the 2nd cease fire
