"Remainers": Genocidal Murderers
(Apollonian, 2 Feb 19)
(Apollonian, 2 Feb 19)
<blockquote>"Brexit remains the strangest of crises because, as many have pointed out, the whole country is being invited to board the Brexit train without knowing its destination."</blockquote>
Well, freedom and independence aren't designed or intended to have a "destination," do they? For aren't freedom and independence ends in themselves, their own "destination" by itself?
The entire article by Cockburn, "...Francois Needs a Lesson...," is just a moronic succession of assertion-without-substantiation and non-sequiturs. Cockburn just wants to keep UK within the genocidal dictatorship called EU--for no reason but the usual satanic genocidal misanthropy.
Here, below-copied is a question I posed to one of the other commenters:

Cockburn ignores the obvious solution that was open the the UK government in relation to Ireland: **** off out of “Northern Ireland”, erase the artificial line drawn on the map of the island by the UK Government, and stop pretending that the UK government’s intransigence had anything whatsoever with concern for the Protestant minority, and everything to do with pure bloody-mindedness at the gall of the invadee in telling the UK to sling their ****ing hook.
As to the death toll from the “Troubles”: the “savage guerilla war” that “killed 3000 people“, was a legitimate resistance to a foreign occupation whose actions in Ireland (the clearances, and forced export of agricultural output) had directly caused millions of deaths during the19th century. And like all resistance movements, it had broad social support and also targeted identified collaborators.
Again, it could all have been brought to an end in five minutes – by the English ****ing off back to their own island: the resistance movement did not even demand reparations for the costs imposed on the Irish people by the occupation.
Note also, that a very large proportion of the “3,000” death toll was generated by foreign scum like the Black & Tans; their actions were far less discriminate that those of the Provisional IRA (e.g., Croke Park 1920 – “Bloody Sunday” – where the English opened fire with automatic weapons on a soccer crowd).
The IRA even invented “Nerf terrorism” – when they decided to take the fight to English shores… they did their enemy courtesy of telephoning ahead and letting the authorities know to evacuate the target area.
Given the IRA’s high level of organisation, strategic and tactical capability and ease of infiltration of the UK, they could have caused the sort of havoc that was observed in places like Baghdad during Western occupation in the 2000s. By contrast, more recent anti-occupation movements (like ‘al-Qa’eda’) have always had much greater difficulty securing unrestricted movement of assets within Western societies.
The IRA always had the moral high ground in that stoush: I am a militant atheist and I despise the Catholic Church – but I support, and have always supported, all actions against invader/occupiers.
