    Not at all, they’re both disgusting groups of people (as were & are unionist extremists) who ruined the lives of people they claim to be liberating

    Frankly they’re incredibly similar organisations

      You understand that there’s a difference in like, motive right?

      Like however you feel about the IRA’s methods, their motives is still something worth fighting for. And honestly like when you REALLY fight for something like that, like actually do what’s necessary, its a messy process and you’re going to do things that moderate liberals look down on as going too far. We can argue about if all of their actions actually serve the cause, but what they wanted to do is something I agree with.

      Versus ISIS? Really? What noble and positive goals does ISIS have?

        To some people pleasing god and liberating people from sinful leadership is something worth fighting for. And when you REALLY fight for something like that it’s a messy process and you’re going to to things that moderate liberals look down on as going too far.

        That is the exact argument you are trying to make, and if you think that it is a deranged extremist view you should take a good look in the mirror - I can see autism shining through here due to your utter inability to see others points of view and draw equivalences.

            Don’t worry, I’m autistic too, it just so happens that I don’t hide behind it or use it as my whole identity and I’m self-aware enough to put in a bunch of extra effort trying to do the things which don’t come naturally, like seeing things other points of views

            It’s fucking hard but at least I don’t live in a perpetually online bubble
