pacifist position during a time of resistance is cowardice imo, we’re all anti-war. The question you should be asking yourself is are you anti-colonial?

Really? I always thought she was pro IRA 😭😭😭😭

She explicitly criticized IRA’s actions and ignored the historical context of the WAY worse things the British did to the Irish for literal centuries.

She said in an interview explicitly that the lyrics mean she’s not IRA, her family is not IRA. wtf are you talking about?
I know every girl I meet loves the song and the cranberries and it fricks me off so much 😂😂

Technically an anti-violence song but we all know that cultivating anti-violence movements during times of revolutionary upheaval and rebellion is a tried and true strategy of occupiers and oppressors to quell support for liberation forces in the modern era.

Yeah, it kinda blew my mind why everyone liked that song. It’s catchy. Until you realize which side they are on in the lyrics.

IRA defense is the kind of historically illiterate safe-edgy nonsense that I would expect from reddit.
