Unfathomably based. :connolly:

    Hey Ireland

    There's another one of them dang Ole mussolini's rooting around the Eye-talian peninsular.

    Ireland has tons of based history and tons of dumb history.

    This is based. Literally the only time I'll give a shit about where my family is from is when Ireland does something cool. Otherwise I don't give a single flying fuck about where my ancestors came from and am happier not knowing.

          If we're being entirely honest, as much as I love the IRA now is not the time for a return to armed conflict in the North. Nobody has the appetite for it, not the republicans, not the unionists, not the South, not the UK, nobody. Any return to armed conflict by either side would alienate them and their cause from the overwhelming majority of Irish on both sides of the border. The end of partition is close: there's now a Catholic plurality in the North, the UK is actively falling to pieces, the North voted to remain in the EU and was dragged away against its will, the EU is standing fast in relation to the Good Friday Agreement, and Sinn Féin may soon be the largest party in both the North and South come the Irish election (at the latest in 2025). There's plenty of mass protest and organization to be done to finally end partition and finish the first stage of decolonisation in Ireland, and armed conflict will only prevent that.

      Dublin is a really nice city to visit, too. Plenty of pedestrian streets and things to see.

        Visit being the operative word here. Dublin is going through one of the worst housing crises in the entire world, and the average monthly rent is now almost higher than the average monthly wage. It's a nightmare.

      You do not have to remove them, just respect Italy's heritage and hang them up the right way :no-fash:
