America’s Far Right Is Calling for Civil War in Ireland
America’s Far Right Is Calling for Civil War in Ireland
Following last week’s riots in Dublin, an alliance between far-right, anti-immigration influencers in the US and Ireland continues to grow.
You're viewing a single thread.
Since Ireland still hasn’t gotten Northern Ireland back, they’re basically still in a civil war.
That's a weird way to frame things given that a sizable majority of North Irelanders don't want to reunify.
I don't follow that particular but if politics very closely, so I'm genuinely asking: is that still the case post-Brexit?
Damn. I never thought of that! Now I wonder too.

So, if I'm reading this correctly, the OP is correct in their clain that most NI people do not want to unify
Yes, they're factual correct in saying that (assuming proper sampling). Also I feel like the international audience who might not be versed in Irish history should appreciate that there's a polarized background to the issue given the colonial history.
I get where you're coming from, but to say that its akin to a civil war when there's a unilateral mechanism for unification and there's been lasting peace for decades... Feels a little reductionist.
