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.

      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 have said I do not condone the only effective tool we have, the only one that has ever given us our freedom.

          I misread it originally, but plenty of countries in the modern-era have achieved independence without violence.

          Yes. You live in a colony, you’re a coloniser. It’s not complicated.

          So does that include people of Irish background who do not support an immediate, instant unification with Ireland?
