What are some examples of truly incompetent rebels/militias/terrorists in history? We'll keep it pre-1990 for sake of muh Veeky Forumstory
Pic related is the UVF, who are best known for their part in the Troubles in Northern Ireland in which they did absolutely nothing of note beyond kill a few civilians and damage the reputation/operations of the British who they were attempting to help.
Fuck off, taig.
Fuck off, fenian.
Considering that most of my family are members and have proudly defended my community shared Ulster heritage I can agree with the first 2 responses and say fuck off you smelly, potato loving fenian cunt.
top left symbol made me think i got a sectarian (you).
>plastic paddies
>did absolutely nothing of note beyond kill a few civilians
Bollocks m9.
>killed 3 IRA members in an ambush at Cappagh, county Tyrone (1991)
>assassinated the IPLO Chief of Staff, Martin O'Prey, (1991)

>killed at least 80 other members of PIRA/SF, INLA/IRSP, IPLO, CESA, CCDC, OIRA and SDLP
Really sounds like ""nothing""
And let's not forget the Ulster Freedom Fighters;
>killed INLA Chief of Staff Ronnie Bunting, along with his gay lover Noel Lyttle, (1980)
>killed Miriam Daly, leader of the Irish Republican Socialist Party, (1980)
>killed on-the-run bomb maker John Francis Greene at an IRA safe house in Co.Monaghan, in the Irish Republic (1975)
>killed senior Sinn Fein member and former IRA gunman Eddie Fullerton at his home in Donegal, also in the Irish Republic, (1991)
>killed Padraig O' Seanachain, O.C. of the IRA's 'West Tyrone Brigade' (1991)
>Almost successfully assassinated Gerry Adams (1984), the SF president's life only being saved by first aid given at the scene by British soldiers
>brought down the power sharing government formed after the Sunningdale Agreement by organising and overseeing the UWC general strike (1974)
>killed Joe McKee, O.C. Official IRA, 'Belfast Brigade' (1979)
>killed dozens of other republican activists, including at least 30 members of PIRA/SF
Why are Irish republicans so very very stupid?
They lick the boots of a tyrant in Rome for a living, what do you expect?
I'm blanking on their names, but there were a trio of Palestinians who managed to blow themselves up in an attempted terrorist attack long before reaching their targets over confusion with daylight saving's time.
Sorry Mick but I think your thread just got anglo'd beyond repair
>BEADY
Bruh look at this dood
Wait till you see the f-
OH HO HO NO NO NO
EUHHH
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That's a meme graph. It suggests the security forces only ever killed republicans or ""civilians"". Off the top of my head I can name at least half a dozen loyalist paramilitaries killed by them
Not to forget the brave men of the UVF who fought in Flanders. While the IRA where hiding behind their ma's skirts back home.
>the absolute state of Ireland
I feel like people on Veeky Forums are motivated to side with Loyalists because they're associated with conservatism in modernity, even though their history in Ireland is basically analogous to non-whites in modern European countries, being sent there by subversive higher ups who wanted to replace the native population with a pliable and servile servant caste
no no no, anything niggers do is okay when white men do it.
You mean like the American colonies? Which, btw, were mostly settled by whites long after the Ulster "plantation", which is itself a fucking meme since the people of Scotland and the people of Ulster have an intermingled history going back to before the Romans invaded Britain. You fucking gimp
That's correct user. A standing army, 100,000 strong, which might well have been the difference between victory and defeat for the Entente powers in the first 3 years of the war
In the analogy you're attempting to make the Irish are the abbos/wogs and the Ulster protestants are the civilisers
>Potato-nigger
I'm just going to ignore that and say the Serbian black hand. They only managed to get the Archduke by accident in the end.
PLO
Seriously their entire history is getting btfo to the point where the world felt sorry for them and pressured Israel into a reconciliation. It's the same thing that happened with Rhodesia
Can't get Anglo'd by the Irish, even if they're the Anglo-boo ones with brain problems.
all these mad orangemen
your culture is a meme and your presence on Ireland is equivilant to a virus in the body
can't wait till you all get old and die out
Irish and Ulsterman fought side-by-side in multiple battles in WW1 you meme
Nice aesthetic but proddy bastards fuck off
If we´re talking about incompetence then it´s the PLO, the israelis have trolled them in every way. Fake weapons deals specially.
Che Guevara in Bolivia was the most retarded thing ever
> b-but the peasants will join us
sure man whatever, they will be extra pleased to receive the army in their villages

"On 22 December 2001, he boarded American Airlines Flight 63 between Paris and Miami, wearing shoes packed with explosives, which he unsuccessfully tried to detonate. Passengers subdued him on the plane, which landed at Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts, the closest US airport. He was subsequently arrested and indicted. In 2002, Reid pleaded guilty in U.S. federal court to eight federal criminal counts of terrorism, based on his attempt to destroy a commercial aircraft in flight. He was sentenced to 3 life terms plus 110 years in prison without parole and is currently being held at ADX Florence, a super maximum security prison in the United States."
Shit OP, great thread.
and now all of us, even the fat, the old, and the crippled, must waste our time taking off our shoes at the airport
Fucking asshole
>Republicans were responsible for more republican killings than the Loyalists

what was their endgame again? replace all their lower class whites with blacks?
>lowland english-speaking "scottish" protestants that have no relation to Ireland being sent to privileged positions in a majority Catholic province
>it's a meme because I read a Wikipedia article about how people from Ulster brought the Irish language and culture to the highlands in northern Britain AFTER the Romans invaded Britain
B-B-BUT THE PADDIES WANTED TO NUKE BELFAST! IT'S TRUE READ REVERENT PAISLEY'S PAMPHLETS!
The brave ones died in the trenches. The UVF was primarily comprised of lower-class labourers who LARPed as soldiers.
Anglos are asleep at this hour, it's 1/124 Anglo-Americans at it. Most English people don't give a shit about Ireland much less are this butthurt over some terrorists from the UK's poverty province.
>dude the Nazi invasion of France was a total meme since Germans and French have an intermingled history since before WWI
You're an utter gimp.
why is peurto rico blue
Like OP said, truly incompetent. Like the french resistant which was similarly incompetent they spent more time on infighting than actual fighting.
Simbionese liberation army was pretty shitty in terms of fighting
Ireland will be unified and there is NOTHING you filthy proddies can do about it
literally no one cares about your shit island
I’m not even Irish I’m just supporting my fellow Catholic brothers
Really speaking? A lot marxist militias, particularly african and central american ones.
>live in boston
>irish ancestors immigrated in the 1880's

I'M IRISH. IRISH PRIDE MUHFUGGAS!
>While many of the Scots who migrated to Ulster in the late 16th and early 17th century came from southwest Scotland, a large number came from the southeast, including the unstable regions right along the border with England (the Scottish Borders and Northumberland). These groups were from the Borderers or Border Reivers culture, which had familial links on both sides of the Anglo-Scottish border. Contrary to popular misinformation and due mainly to the simplification of Irish history for political agenda purposes, these Reivers were not all Protestants, many if not a majority would have been at least nominally Roman Catholics
>There had been a significant community of Scots living in northern and eastern Ulster, as far back as the 8th century CE. Early Irish writers used the name Cruthin to refer to both this north-east Ulster group and to the Picts of Scotland. Likewise, the Scottish Gaelic word for a Pict is Cruithen or Cruithneach, and for Pictland is Cruithentúath. Thus been the Cruthin and Picts would appear to be the same people or were at least inextricably linked. T. F. O'Rahilly wrote that the Cruthin/Pritani were "the earliest inhabitants of these islands to whom a name can be assigned". Cruthin, or Pritani was a name used to refer to all the Britons who were not conquered by the Romans
Irish republicans are marxist vermin
fpbp
spsnp

>did nothing of note
Clearly you have never been to northern ireland lol.
They did a lot they just worked with the british government so they didn't get any spotlight.
Whatever you say plastic paddy
pretty funny cause your orange halls are full of complete bullshit about how your related to ancient egyptians and always draws parallels to israel
literally we wuz
AHHAHAHA
Why the fuck would you fight for a nation actively opressing you?
Those "brave UFV men" fought alongside a lot of men from the south in separate divisions. IIRC two of them fought in the same trenches at the Somme
A lot of Southern Irishmen DID join the British Army in the hope that they'd receive Home Rule as a show of gratitude
Didn't work obviously, but a lot of the veterans became IRA men
>pretty funny cause your orange halls are full of complete bullshit about how your related to ancient egyptians and always draws parallels to israel
You've never been in an Orange hall in your life you plastic cunt. You not got any 3rd world terrorists to shill for?
i've been in plenty of halls you LARPing faggot. The claims they make inside of them is amazing
I suppose that's what happens when you have to make up an entire culture to distract from the fact that you're nothing but a parasite on this island
>I suppose that's what happens when you have to make up an entire culture
you're both as bad as the other desu.
I don't see how you came or that conclusion
If you look at the history of the island you'd realise the prods are eternally wrong
paddies are culture vultures who lean very heavily on a lazy catch-all celticism and they don't even speak their own language. the northern paddies may be worse but it's not by much, you're far more similar than either of you like to think.
>i've been in plenty of halls you LARPing faggot
Says the LARPing homo. Stay salty you window licking marxist cunt
>Absolutely nothing
I mean, the good friday agreement would probably have happened in the late 70's or 80's if it wasn't for the UVF getting scared the British were going to give up on them and antagonising the Republicans. Which is the same thing they have done every single time there has ever been the prospect of a deal between the Crown and Catholics in Britain since at LEAST 1798.
>don't even speak their own language
yeah that tends to happen when it's violently repressed by a colonial power
Moreover, it's still taught in schools and many people can speak it to a semi-fluent degree, especially the younger generations
wow 1 black man, in a party that's never helps power in the south
compared to how many africans in the U.K?
Enjoy life in your backwards shithole
This is a respected Loyalist politician
The absolute STATE of Northern Ireland
>violently repressed by a colonial power
Yeah, you retards don't even try to hide your communistic tendencies. We wuz oppressed an sheeeiiiit
you're not even trying now are you

But Wales has a much-much-higher daily use of Welsh then the Republic with Irish. How do you explain this discrepancy?
Bong revisionism on par with pitch black “chedder man” Black Romans and Black celts. Never trust a Brit.
Samefag
Brits should've genocided the paddies when they had a chance.
Why are there so many of you orange cunts on Veeky Forums? Northern Ireland is fucking worthless.
Because all the Irish republicans are marxist dogshit
Bollocks
>Scottish people are literally just Irish people pretending to be British pretending to be Irish
central american guerrillas were pretty effective
Sandino kicked out the Marines
FSLN took the country while FMLN and the guatemalans forced a negotiated settlement after years of war

>nobody killed more republicans than then republicans
>plantations didn't happen. Ulster presbyterians came from Dál Riata
lmao
>the primary killer of the loyalists was the loyalists
britbongs lmao
Autism. Tons of IRA infighting. In fact that Fenian former IRA member who was killed in a phone booth was most likely killed by fellow republicans in revenge for leaving.
What point did you intend to prove here? Everybody knows there were medieval interactions between Ireland and Scotland. They shared a common Gaelic culture. This was of a fundamentally different nature to what the later plantations introduced, which clearly were not a "meme" given what came out of them.
>orange order will cease to exist in your lifetime
feels good man
>potato people flinging shit at each other over their insignificant land claims
These threads always give me a good kek stay classy celts
Potato monkey can't read well. Imagine my shock
Imagine being this retarded
>the island of Ireland
>Potato monkey can't read well. Imagine my shock
What's your actual point though? Neither of the Wikipedia articles you quoted says anything interesting. You just said the plantations were a "meme" because Ulster and Scotland had interactions. The only interpretation of that is you don't think the plantations was a meaningful event in the history of Ulster which is obviously false.
this honestly
Go be a cuck faggot somewhere else red scum
>be Irish
