I received insults
Someone even posted photos of dead bodies
These comments weren’t reviewed, but I was permanently blocked because my political stance is to hope for the reunification of my country. They said I have nothing to offer, just spreading propaganda and negativity.
Right, that’s still not what I asked you. I’m not asking what you think should happen. I’m asking you what do the people of Northern Ireland want now?
The people in Northern Ireland can move between Ireland and the UK, move into the UK - enjoy equal rights. There’s no system of apartheid. They have their own institutions. They can use those institutions to eventually acquire independence, providing there’s enough support.
I don’t value what colonisers want.
So lets go further. What do people who live in Ireland want? Do they want to launch a violent assault on Northern Ireland? What are you even proposing here?
Is everyone in Northern Ireland a coloniser, or are they only colonisers if they happen to disagree with unifying Northern Ireland with Ireland?
Yes, polling has shown support for Irish reunification since independence.
I am not proposing anything? I have said I do not condone the only effective tool we have, the only one that has ever given us our freedom.
Yes. You live in a colony, you’re a coloniser. It’s not complicated.
Supporting Irish reunification is not the same as supporting achieving that through violent ends.
I misread it originally, but plenty of countries in the modern-era have achieved independence without violence.
So does that include people of Irish background who do not support an immediate, instant unification with Ireland?
