Opinion of the IRA

[Libertas Vel Mors]

Is this some kind of joke?

No, it’s hard to argue their cause was unjust unless your a British imperialist. The tactics they deployed on the other hand were at times undeniably morally abhorrent.

Uh, it absolutely is not hard. A majority of Northern Irish residents support remaining in the UK and oppose being uniting with Ireland. Respecting popular sovereignty = opposing the IRA.

For "the IRA had FF goals" people: Why is it FF to try and impose minority government on a majority that wants to be part of another country?

Don't act so cocky. The Irish nationalist party got the most seats in the assembly election for the first time ever just a few days ago, and in the last general elections the Nationalists and Unionists tied (before, it has always been a Unionist majority). The tide is definitely turning.

When the IRA was fighting in the 1980s, a majority unambiguously wanted to stay in Britain. Even if that changes after the fact, it was still unjust for the IRA to use force to try to subject the majority during the Troubles.
