      Don’t start shit if you can’t take shit 🤷‍♂️ Nobody asked you to come in here and make up some story about why Irish occupation is Good, Actually.

      E: just realized this was a drive by comment and not the person I originally replied to, which makes the defensiveness even more bizarre.

        How on earth have you read defensiveness into a 2 word comment. What shit has anyone started?

        Commenter above was pointing out that most Brit hate in Ireland is of the fist shaking “hate the Brits on principal” rather than an active aggression and that Ireland trusts the UK to the point the UK in effect provides the maritime and air defence of Ireland.

        Meanwhile you pop up with edgelord commentary apparently solely for the purpose of causing drama.

            Sigh. You don’t find Brits attacking the Irish online. It’s all Irish cosplaying as revolutionaries from shit that happend 50 years ago

            The Brits really don’t give a shit about Northern Ireland, you are welcome to it.

              The Brits in Northern Ireland disagree.

              Mostly I see Americans who think they understand what’s going on with some romanticised idea of what NI is. They also seem to think the troubles was some kind of border dispute between nations.
