@michaelhills8 *agus, not autocorrect agua. But you’d know that, wouldn’t you?

[resident @HashTagTobes]

Weak chin. Weak sauce about the issues pertinent to Ireland. Weak block having pursued the conversation for so long until the veil fell @michaelhills8

Easy for you to be sanctimonious about civilian violence when the state enacted yours for so long and other options absent.

"Take the crown off a king and all you had was someone good at having a weak chin and waving to people."

@michaelhills8

[resident @HashTagTobes]

You probably think that relates to Queen Elizabeth, but it doesn’t.

[resident @HashTagTobes]

@michaelhills8 You’re proudly referencing the photo across the Foyle, and rightly so, but kindly reference if you are of the ~90% previously apartheidee community or 10% apartheidor community there

[resident @HashTagTobes]

@michaelhills8 Point to be made would be dependent on your answer? I know your answer. And even if I am incorrectly assuming the answer that you will not give, akin to John Hume you most certainly are not

[resident @HashTagTobes]

@michaelhills8 You seem to imply you are from a nationalist area. I’d made different assumptions based on your first name, surname and receding chin, sorry. Are you saying that you are a nationalist/from a nationalist area, or are you being deliberately misleadingly opaque and insulting?

[resident @HashTagTobes]

@michaelhills8 Well, well the photo I’ve just seen across the Foyle presents a much differently developed photo to what it would have pictured in the sixties. Why do you think that is?

[resident @HashTagTobes]

@michaelhills8 Despite your use of a first person plural, I’d guess you’ve never been to Ireland. Maybe to Temple Bar for a weekend, certainly never to Ireland’s northern province

[resident @HashTagTobes]

@michaelhills8 I think you’re wrong there. Your use of a first person plural pronoun confuses me. Your sanctimonious idealisation is neither correct nor helpful with concepts like surrender, for either side. ‘98 agreement is the ‘73 agreement largely, so waste of time correct unintentionally.

[resident @HashTagTobes]

@michaelhills8 Sunningdale 1973. Collapsed 1974. Reimplemented for slow learners 1998. United Ireland more likely than at most points ever. Didn’t say no regrets, but I’d imagine few for all concerned if/when a UI is achieved, and Unionists will end up with few regrets also if/when it happens

[resident @HashTagTobes]

@michaelhills8 35% v 85% civilian killing. Plus genocide, plus apartheid. Plus Ireland is Irish and not British. Ireland and Britain encompass the Celtic Isles.

Moral superiority and fewer regrets all the way, kid

[resident @HashTagTobes]

@michaelhills8 Not quite, and not systematically, and to a lesser extent than how loyalists slaughtered Catholics in the name of foreign crown and country. Geographically and democratically one side is correct, and morally less culpable. That is not controversial or statistically arguable.

[resident @HashTagTobes]

@michaelhills8 Remind me who genocided who in the C19. Remind me which side systematically targeted civilians in the latter half of the C20, and which side had more civilian killings. Remind me who imposed an apartheid statelet throughout the C20

[resident @HashTagTobes]

@michaelhills8 I don’t think that’s a fair characterisation for how the Free State, the Republic, Sunningdale or the GFA was achieved.

Remind me of the result of peaceful human rights movements in 1950s and 1960s, and solely democratic attempts for Irish rule in Ireland in centuries before?

[resident @HashTagTobes]

@michaelhills8 In Tom Barry’s words, "They had gone in the mire to destroy us and our nation and down after them we had to go."

Britain shouldn’t be in Ireland.

And if ~85% of occupier attacks target civilians and ~30% of opposing attacks target civilians, then no, it’s not like with like
