THEY WERE NOT STUPID; THEY WERE PSYCHOPATHIC; PSYCHOPATHS ARE CLEVER, BUT THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY IRRATIONAL, BEING COMPELLED BY THEIR PATHOLOGICAL URGES; COLONIALISM IS A FORM OF INSTITUTIONALIZED PSYCHOPATHY ON A MASSIVE SCALE.

Tactics like that worked for hundreds of years before hand. They were stuck in a global transition period where you couldn't just genocide an entire town so they tried light genocide which only serves to make the problem bigger.

When suppressing people you need to be absolutely brutal or absolutely kind, anything in between just makes people hate you more.

Irish owe the B&T's a great thanks,its pretty heroic risking your life to kill or capture hundreds of IRA terrorists, saving the lives of thousands of Irish Unionists and giving justice to the IRA's victims.

Yeah but the Unionists weren't the same as me ideologically, so fuck 'em.

Looks like utter shit.

Try this.

>>3325484
And more correct ones.

Just imagine if the Brits did more to prevent famine and poverty in Ireland, with a much smaller and more irrelevant diaspora there would be way fewer plastic paddies in the world today.

I love the fact that to England NI Loyalists are just that bumbling autistic cousin who they have to keep cleaning up after and wish they'd aborted at birth.

Rhinestones and gilt to show off to Chinese tourists whilst the rest of the country is failing down around your ears.

Britain trying to be great is just pathetic these days.
