You might be surprised to learn that the current iteration of these "Catholic jihadists" have almost nothing to do with the IRA of the early 19OOs. 

Did you watch the bit? I don't care about nationalism, I was mocking the "we saved y'all" as that's one of the first points of the video

Edgy but you could have workshopped this more for greater effect. 

Do you think the IRA of the early 19OOs were wrong to try remove a foreign oppressor after being 2nd class citizens for hundreds of years? Or in your view were the English entitled to it because they were there for so long , conversely, what are your thoughts on America getting their freedom?

Sure they had a right to gain there independence. What you didn't have a right to do was to try to enforce Catholic Irish rule in a protestant majority region that wanted no part of the Irish Republic. You brought 30 years of gangland type violence to innocent protestant civilians.

Someone from a country that has committed the amount of terrorist atrocities as Ireland has no business calling out the US for killing a major terrorist who was actively participating in the killing of Americans.

Or maybe you just sympathize with people who like to spread terror and violence.
It doesn't matter what your personal belief is. You called us out as a nation and I'm calling you out as a nation.

You are confusing two very different things. The Irish nationalist movement of the early 1900s was led by the government to remove the foreign oppressor. The Troubles were caused by groups not affiliated with the Irish government to cause havoc for the North to try remove the occupancy of the British and prevent themselves being oppressed. 



The latter does not prevent me from calling out the imperialism of America and its insidious foreign policy, which is absolutely driven by the government, but you already know that. 

Do you see the difference between that and the Troubles or do you still need more history lessons on the Northern conflict. I'm sorry if you got upset by me disagreeing with the policies of governments but it's not limited to America
