I have a pretty basic gist of it, and am pretty familiar with The Troubles, but was thinking there is a bit more to this event right now than it might appear? thx

    Unionists are getting antsy because of all the talk of a United Ireland.

    Also general teenage disaffection and a recession making people mad, and that frustration gets channeled into the orange/green stuff. Maybe sexual frustration too, there's always some sexual frustration in these sorts of things.

    Edit: here's a Shankill local saying basically all that: https://files.catbox.moe/sqz839.mp4

      Yeah I have to imagine the united ireland thing plays a big role, that whole topic really works some people up. With brexit now too it has to be more appealing than ever
