I Blame Communism

And if your making comparisons to the SS and Facists, the Black and Tans certainly come close for me. I mean, at least the RA was illegal, the Tans were being supported, actually supported by the British government. And with their gerry-mandering of costituency borders to ensure that the bare minimum of Nationalist MPs got into Stormount, and tuning the public services to be anti-Catholic (many a Catholic family could be waiting weeks for a council house, but a newly wed Protestant couple would be sorted in a few days), the government of NI 1922-1969 is probably one of the most Facist you can get.
I mostly agree with you, Todyo, but I'm saying this to the pair of you: every time you abuse the word "fascist", George Orwell writes an angry column about it in his grave.
Gerrymandering and favouritist public services are not "fascism", they are the methods pretty well every ethnic group in a divided society has used to keep control of things from the post-reconstruction South to present-day Estonia. Armed gangs and attrocities are similarly ubiquitous.
Neither of our countries have ever been fascist. Random SS comparisons are stupid. Everybody clear?
