>communities should arm themselves and resist any attempt by an oppressive government to destroy their communities >NOOOO NOT LIKE THAT NOOOO
The Provisional IRA is one of the best modern examples of Nationalist Militias forming effectively. Unsurprisingly from Ireland-the historical centre of modern guerrilla warfare-they went from being labelled a terrorist group to being in Government. But Brits will cry about them because they got their shit slapped by them.
INB4 >the IRA are communists The IRA were not communists are their creation in the early 20th Century. Marxist ideas first came into the IRA in the 1950s, and were so unpopular that most of the IRA split off to form the Provisional IRA. >but muh terriers The Provisional IRA were one of the last belligerents to enter the violence in Northern Ireland. They did not stage an "uprising", they staged an intervention in a conflict started by British Loyalist Paramilitaries. >haha NI is still British See above, NI's place within the UK was not the focus of the conflict.
Why do people hype up the ideas of communities arming themselves against the government, and then let Brits convince them that this instance doesn't count just because it hurts their feelings?
>but muh civilians The British side of the conflict (Loyalist Paramilitaries+British Security Forces) killed more civilians overall than the IRA did.
Even excluding the British Security Forces, Loyalists killed more civilians than the IRA did. They were also doing it years prior to the IRA entering the conflict. The ratio of civilian deaths to legitimate targets (enemy soldiers) is also much, much higher on the British-Loyalist side, in particular with Loyalists who almost exclusively targeted them. The PIRA targeted mostly British Security Forces, or rival IRA factions (such as the pro-marxist splinters). Most of their civilian deaths happened as a result of inadequate or ignored warnings for bombings, or as a result of reprisal attacks/suspected informers.
My point is that they already did. Now one could argue that a time is coming when it may be one day necessary again, but here we have an example of it happening as late as the 1990s.
But you see typical Brits trying to sweep it away because it is hurtful to their narrative for people to see that they are part of the problem. The Provisional IRA are to be admired for their work in removing the common Brit from their land.
So you made this thread to shill the IRA as not that bad compared to the others? Well done Paddy, great thread.

No, I made this thread to remind everyone that the myth of the IRA being some lefty mob that suddenly decided to start killing people for no reason it all is just that-a myth.
The 3 decades of IRA warfare is probably the best modern example of communities arming themselves against a Government that seeks to harm them. It is simply uncomfortable for British people to acknowledge that they are a huge part of the problem they claim to want to solve.
>nope sorry mate that's a picture of dublin You're an absolute retard. And pic related is an actual real picture from a British nightclub. Just fucking lol.
>The IRA were not communists are their creation in the early 20th Century. James Connolly was an open socialist. It's pathetic how you like to falsely claim that the potato blight was an engineered famine (because nothing says genocide like sending tonnes of aid to Ireland), when killing him and his co-horts saved countless Irish lives.
The IRA were and are nothing but globalist drug dealers. Nothing says "fuck the prots and bratash" like cheering on Westminster imposing abortion and sodomy on Northern Ireland against the will of the country
Are these the same """Catholics""" that were duped by that faggot Paki's biased referendums to criminalise Catholic ideas twice?
