Your favourite very online very vocally left edge lords in the south & in England couldn’t bring themselves to say anything about the man who fought to establish the Credit Union, a university for Derry, fair voting, housing & employment for nationalists.
Sick of the North being a punchline for glamourising the violence here as a leftist struggle & then leaving it at that. Never leaning into what actually happened that’s difficult but that’s truly antipartitionist - to empathise, listen, learn and understand - to see us, all of us
Peace building so boring and pro establishment that the Hume family were petrol bombed by republicans, death threats from the IRA and loyalists. But yeah, what a boring establishment stoop. None of them give an actul proper fuck
The same ones banging on about here during the last election saying eveything that happened should be forgotten and it was justified anyway. It’s never throwing their eyes north for 200 years that helped galvanise and make partition possible and just about palatable
Don’t let me see the hard left on my timeline when the didn’t give a shit about the man who forged the path for people here to scrab themselves out of misery and poverty his whole life
I dunno how anyone from here can feel anything in common with those who edgy podcasters and journalists who throw their eyes up towards here to just talk about how killing and retaliation is justified or to selectively quote and misinterpret Bernadette McAliskey
The Tories reforming the Human Rights Act to frustrate access to justice for families of those killed by state violence, you never hear word about it: it’s a part performance for most. The hard left term is bullshit anyway, I prob shouldn’t have used it, it’s as faux as them
shut up being glassy eyed about the ra, Jeremy being ‘pivotal’ to peace here, or that your grandas nephews cat was in a flying columns as if it’s meaningful solidarity with what life was & is like navigating through a post conflict society. It’s cosplaying & bourgeoisie as fk
