Are we about to see a bunch of political violence here like there was in the Troubles?

No. More like the Years of Lead or Bleeding Kansas.
>>
>>515398814
not at all. there is no such group in america. you're just going to get raided if you criticize israel
>>
>>515398814
No. For it to succeed you need elite backing. The IRA had wealthy Irish-American diaspora sustaining it (with money and guns). It didn't really accomplish much though, it was just enough to keep it going (in a cycle, like gang violence). But things did change when Qaddafi started to give them actual military grade explosives, RPG launchers, even anti-air.

For a similar thing to happen in the US you need people with either hundreds of millions or you need branches of the military to just defect (and essentially now you have the government fighting itself with all the stockpiles).

The idea that it's going to kick off because some zionist shabbos goy egghead got killed by some leftist retard is not how it gets going. Northern Ireland was (and still is) like a country within a country. Do you have that yet in the US? Are the leftists barred from even walking down into certain towns? Would they get beaten up really badly or worse if they tried it? I don't think so. For now people are still too comfortable. This is still being seen as entertainment for people. You need people with wealth and power to have an 'oh shit' moment and kick into gear. (at great personal risk). They're not doing that over a guy like Charlie Kirk. They have to have something important to lose.

damn, does this really happen in Ireland?

You have some good points. I don’t think we will have the “troubles” but I do think we will have another civil war (though it definitely won’t be over Charlie Kirk lol). Most people don’t realize the U.S. has already had two civil wars. The Revolutionary War was a British civil war. Civil wars are in our nature. The next one will happen when a Democrat president is in office and when red states like Texas, Florida, Ohio, N.C. etc. don’t comply with laws and use their national guards to try to prevent any federal interventions. It almost happened during Biden’s term when he sent troops to Eagle Pass to tear down border protections, the Texas guard blocked them from coming in, and other red states sent their guards to Texas to assist.

Also I hate when people say a nation is too “comfortable” to go to war. Wars don’t start over discomfort lol.

Doubt it, though I won't discount the possibility. The two things that I'd say are in the way are a lack of a uniting identity and democracy.
>identity
The Troubles had a clear cut between Catholic and Protestant, British and Irish, Republican and Unionist. America doesn't have that. You don't differentiate enough between them, your national identity is more free than ours. You could organise but you'd have trouble identifying an out group unless you follow racial lines, which Christianity (the strongest apsect of your national identity) would reject.
>democracy
The ultimate pressure release valve. People are more than willing to wait a few years for a possible decent candidate than they are to start a revolutionary cell. Mice will keep swimming when they think there's possibly a way out if they keep going. They'll swim until they die of exhaustion, the end result of our democracy.
The reason it's not impossible is because of retardation and chaos. The Troubles didn't begin with masks and Armalites, it began with riots that spiralled out of control. I think you're still far off from that but it's not impossible.

Both good posts. Britain is closer to a sort of "troubles" than America is and that's simply because of the strong ethnic elements, but it's still missing key element like elite backing and ability to conduct such an insurgency.

Literally every issue in american politics is cut almost exclusively along racial, sexual, and religious lines when you look at the population under 50, which is the only population that matters.

It's literally 90% white straight Christian men on one side of every issue, and all the browns on the other.

The word 'leftists' in this context refers to the antifa types that would be on the other side of an American civil war.

In Ireland it was based on ethnic, sectarian and whether NI should be part of the Union with the UK or not. People made it abundantly clear where their allegiances lay. Like see pic related, using the colours from the Union jack on the pavements (putting up union flags and murals) made it pretty clear to you that you were now entering that community. And people were stopped and questioned it they weren't recognised.

The flare ups in certain places became so frequent that they constructed "peace walls" - physical barriers at certain streets to prevent clashes.

>>515404784
The thing is that even if you don't do it, your enemies absolutely will do it you. I'd imagine there are likely parts of certain cities in America that are already effectively "no go" for a certain type of person. I.e. you'll just end up like that Ukrainian girl on the train if you go sit beside niggers.

Basically any inner city is no go if you're White and we all know it, just nobody talks about it. "He was in the wrong neighborhood" is one of the many, MANY excuses to let murderous niggers back out on the streets again (at this point they barely even bother with the excuse portion anymore, just a level of "no consequences for blacks" that'd make the modern UK proud)
As an aside, can I ask why English Protestants are considered too foreign for you lot but so many of you are fine mass importing Arab Muslims?

Not the Troubles but the Spanish civil war. We're in the "prelude" period with both parties solidifying their base, just like what happened in the late 1910s, early 20s and 30s.

No. By and large no one is going to do shit except say mean things, certainly none of the faggots here. You'll continue to see the odd lone wolf here and there, but there won't be a significant, coordinated effort. People aren't willing to risk giving up their (relative) comforts and luxuries.
>>
>>515398814
Some political violence yes, but nothing organized, sustained, and focused like The Troubles were.

We are going to have more random lone wolf shootings here and there, maybe some arson, but the people that commit these acts won't know each other and won't have a common goal.

The closest I could see this being a thing might be in some cities like Portland which have a high concentration of like minded leftists already willing to organize and attack the state.

100%. Britain's closer than Ireland in my opinion.

An important point is that Ireland had a revolution and civil war only a few decades before. There were old hands to shepherd a new generation of paramilitary violence. What can millennials and gen x teach gen z and alpha about guerrilla warfare? Even the early IRA was hampered by retarded Marxist interpretation of how things should be run and they had had serious fuckers amongst them. New groups will be fatherless and directed by the ideological goals of people who waited for others to take action.

no, the troubles were systematic and group-oriented. It was more like America in the 60s 70s when you had the antivietnam protests and anarchist violence like weather underground. Now all we have are lone shooters carrying out individual assassinations. There's no more planning and group identity because its too easily infiltrated and destroyed by the feds.

No but the right has been, and now there is no hiding the fact that debating the left just results in an assassination attempt backed by leftists in the government. So next time you call someone a fascist they are very likely to just shoot you in the face multiple times and walk off to eat their last meal before shooting it out with the cops. Not exactly the environment you wanted to create, but it is what it is. You cant put that bullet back and you cant force the djinn back into the lamp.

There are a lot of things that people *could* do. But for them to actually to start to do things their risk calculus has to change. I mean yeah you could go around causing economic damage to your own infrastructure but for *what*? Why are you risking prison time or worse?

If you look at a situation like NI, it started with riots, those then get out of control for local police to handle. So the military (from outside is sent in). But it turned out sending in teenagers trained to kill into a riot situation was a bad idea. When innocent people died that raised the stakes. A guy whose 12 year old cousin or nephew was shot by said forces, that's the kind of thing that makes them join something like the IRA. But you understand there has to be a chain of events to get there.

>>515405270
And you can see why they want to sweep that under the rug and refuse to just call it what it is, a no go zone. They'd try to hold you accountable if you tried to some some group coming in with trans or antifa flags to your town but they would try to hold you to a different standard if you carried the confederate flag around.

>can I ask why English Protestants are considered too foreign for you
European identity is one that has been forged in wars for many hundreds of years before there was even a United States. If your country is relatively new and it's formed from a mish-mash of different European groups then it's counter productive to focus on ethnic differences between Europeans. Especially when Jews brought in niggers.

>so many of you are fine mass importing Arab Muslims
It's only a minority. People will take some subset from say leftists in Dublin and say well that must be the majority view. That's like if I hand picked white people from somewhere like NYC with a BLM shirt and said those represent most Americans. Same thing is playing out here, cities are becoming sewers for leftists/browns where as the more rural you go, the less crazy it is.

Kindof. America has far more violent tendencies, I would see mob rule in places rather than skirmishes and hit and run attacks. Like youll have people on one side "owning" territory and youll get people asking "where are you from" to see if you are an enemy or not.

You use to get traffic stops by masked men here, I dont think youll get that in the US because someone who isnt even involved in the conflict in either way could lean out the window with a gun in self defence, or would pull out a phone and start shouting about their rights to someone who doesnt give a fuck because they arent a cop. That might be funny honestly.

>What can millennials and gen x teach gen z and alpha about guerrilla warfare?
Exactly, there's the GWOT generation but many of them are either lefties or just Tommy Robinson civnats. MI5 are efficient and know how to nip such movements in the bud before they get off the ground as well. It's what anons don't understand about the recent stuff in Nepal, you can't just do that here. British intelligence would have your door kicked down before you can piss if you took part in any serious dissident activities. It happened last August, and that was rather tame. The British state has spent decades perfecting the art of breaking down insurgent groups. It's not impossible, but a lot of stuff have to align for it to happen.

50 years before the troubles. The youngest of them would have been in their 70s when the troubles started.

If anything it was Irish Catholic ex servicemen from Northern Ireland who had served in the British army prior to the troubles.

If you want to meet Catholics and talk about theology then you're going to be disappointed because we just go to mass and know fuck all about the theology.

>>515415532
Don't be too opinionated about matters of dogma (shouldn't be a problem from what I can glean from your post). And try to attend a Full Latin/Tridentine Mass when you can. Also, veneration of the saints (esp. Mary, but also Joseph) is not "idolatry" that's a shitty zio-evangelical take.

Religion has probably always been like this.
In fact, mass literacy has likely always been pointless, since most people, even given the ability to read, just don't read.
We'd do better to go back to the 1200s when 5% of people were literate. Only people who need literacy, like the clergy, should be trained in letters.

lol no. Your typical 'radical' is a pussy that will fold the moment they set foot out of a leftist controlled zone and can't strike at those who can't strike back. Basically, if you produce anything of real value (read: actually make something that it is possible to distribute credit against) all these people want a piece of it. But they're too much of a cowardly slime to take from you directly, so they're going to keep agitating for an excuse to implement some means to get closer and closer to the source of money and closer to the front of the line for the first distribution of that money. Until something major breaks at the federal level, the petty murders and other such criminal acts will continue.
