    Bit of stretch to say “most Americans” celebrate the IRA. I do understand the IRA is memed in Libertarian gun culture.

    The Omagh bombing showcases how indiscriminate violence is fucking horrible, in both how it affects so many people and turns many more against your cause.

      On this platform I have seen so many Americans try and justify incidents like the Omagh bombing and the actions of the various IRA groups in general.

      Even now. You just had to include the “turns many more against your cause.” As a closing argument.

      Rather than just leave it at “innocent people dying is a bad thing”.

        On this platform people profess disdain American capitalism and war machine constantly. 9/11 was an attack against both does ideologies, yet I don’t see much of any support for Al Queda. I was alluding to that.
