I would like to offer some perspective to the Americans upset the world doesn't revolve around them. And share a terrorist act from my country, that I know you lot won't know about.
But most of you lot celebrate the party that did it so, maybe it won't land well.
Omagh Bombing.
âMostâ Americans donât celebrate the IRA. Most Americans donât even know what the IRA is other than a retirement account.
The ones that do know generally support the UK in that whole mess. The IRA is literally a designated terrorist group in the US.
Bit of stretch to say âmost Americansâ celebrate the IRA. I do understand the IRA is memed in Libertarian gun culture.
The Omagh bombing showcases how indiscriminate violence is fucking horrible, in both how it affects so many people and turns many more against your cause.
On this platform I have seen so many Americans try and justify incidents like the Omagh bombing and the actions of the various IRA groups in general.
Even now. You just had to include the "turns many more against your cause." As a closing argument.
Rather than just leave it at "innocent people dying is a bad thing".
On this platform people profess disdain American capitalism and war machine constantly. 9/11 was an attack against both does ideologies, yet I donât see much of any support for Al Queda. I was alluding to that.
I think this is a fair way to look at it. I donât watch the news much so I donât know what goes on in other countries either
Let me guess, you're Russian or Israeli?
lots of people have been bombed all around the world, not just "russian or israeli"
Northern Irish.
I am a dog using the internet while the humans are away at work.
