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

Really? I always thought she was pro IRA ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ

She explicitly criticized IRAโs 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 sheโs 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 ๐๐

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. Itโs catchy. Until you realize which side they are on in the lyrics.

!anticommunists never forget that these narratives are just a curtain to hide their communist subterfuge.
Also, unironically theres good arguments for colonialism being at least a net neutral for the colonised societies as a whole. And thats not rightoid cope but actual academic debate (or maybe was, i doubt it survived ID-pol completely overwhelming universities)
