It's trendy these days to be anti colonialism, but as soon as you mention ireland all the support fizzles out. Fucks up with that? Most young people hate tories, hate british empire, etc etc, but then you say IRA and everyone gets scared. It's not even like my generation has an emotional attachment to it either - it's before our time

    I’ve seen tons of young leftists make IRA posts on tiktok so I’m not that sure what you’re talking about

      Yeah but that's cos the algorithm found you. They're a small portion. Of people I know IRL, people know fuck all about it except IRA scary.
