Fascism

Lets see,

The Garda are neck deep in the ACA.

Sure the Provo's was a counter to the red IRA.
Among other things.

We have our reds.

We put up with them because of democracy.
And socialism works.

But don't underestimate the opposition to them.

You Don't Know What You're Talking About.

You sound silly.

Read Ordinary Men Reserve Police Battalion 101.

Educate yourself.

Jeez thanks IDF2 you soooo out there..
Now I know how Damien felt when Sergeant Neff instructed him to discover himself:


"Sergeant Neff: The day will come when everyone will know who you are, but that day is not yet here.

Damien Thorn: What do you mean?

Sergeant Neff: There are things you don't understand. Read your Bible. In the New Testament, there is a Book of Revelation. For you, it is just that - a book of revelation. For you. About you. Read it. 13th chapter. Read. Learn. Understand..."

I think it is wrong to forget the mistakes of history, otherwise we as a race will never learn by those mistakes. There is a tendency to only permit vanilla history and remove anything that offends these days. The reality is that too many people are getting offended on others behalf. Every nation has their dark secrets that they would rather forget and the Irish are no different. Its healthy to remind ourselves once in a while. If we look at what is happing in Ukraine it has all the similarities of how Hitler's Germany annexed Austria and the Sudetenland before WWII.

Correct. As a race, we have not learned from our mistakes.

Correct. As a race, we have not learned from our mistakes.

I think you mean as a species we have not learned. As a race, the Irish had no hand, act or part in any of the great European or World Wars

Nazi Germany did plan to invade Ireland : Operation Green

Information was gathered by German civilians living in Ireland at the time.

Churchill twice wanted Britain to invade Ireland during WW2. First time was in 1939 when he was first lord admiral of the British fleet. He wasn't happy that Ireland wouldn't let Britains navy use our ports for hunting U boats and when the RMS Royal Oak was sunk by a u boat off scarpa flow, Churchhill was furious and went to the then British PM Neville Chamberlain with plans to take Irish ports by force. Chamberlain refused his request. 2nd time was when he was PM himself he had plans drawn up to send division of Scottish troops to occupy Ireland The President of the US stopped him sending them. It should also be noted that both Britain and Ireland governments together drew up plans for an allied invasion to retake Ireland should Germany decide to invaded and occupy us. Plan w it was called I think
