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.
Not necessarily really, GFA gives the people of NI the right to be British, Irish or both irrespective of whether the territory is part of the UK or a united Ireland
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.
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.

Who the fuck is even trying to attack Ireland except the Brits?? Weird ass imperialist cope.
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.
It’s not part of Britain.
Tell them that. Because we’ve been trying to explain that to them for a long time.
They know. That’s why they kicked off about pedo Donaldson getting paid off to accept no border post Brexit.
They’re still British…
Only while it’s the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The UK is devolving power, thankfully. Centralising power in Europe has failed every time in history.

So, within living memory? And you’re mad people didn’t just… move on and pretend it didn’t happen? Weird shit.
We’ve had a peace deal in place since 1998 FFS.
Therefor nobody is allowed to remember the imperialism that led to it?? Funny shit.
Which part of ‘ongoing’ don’t you understand?
Good point, it’s actually the ongoing imperialism that led to it 👍
