Unionism in Northern Ireland
Why? I dont understand it. Can someone explain "why" to me in terms i can understand.
I need to make myself clear. Im not in any way affiliated with or a "supporter" of the IRA or Sinn Fein, or the Republican movement in general. Ireland isnt my country, Scotland is.
I'm well aware my words here dont make a lot of sense but - what im trying to say is i can see the "why" in the Republican movement - part of me can respect the passion (if not the methods) for their desired outcome - a united ireland etc - part of me can respect this "romantic dream", and it therefore "makes sense" as an ideology.
What is Unionism then? Is it purely hate filled reactionism? Wheres the passion, the desire? Does a unionist only want whatever a Republican doesnt want?
