Of course they learn this garbage from their parents, the so called grown ups, like the woman who has lived for 50 years in the same area, the Sandy Row, and knows no other life. Very sad people with closed minds and hard hearts. Failed by numerous governments in Westminster and brain washed with the hate that comes from the local politicians. "This is our culture", she says. Not much of a culture. Sinn Fein are now the highest polling party in Northern Ireland, that tells you all you need to know about the future of this lovely part of the world.

[@isitartthough]

As a non-religious man from the Republic of Ireland, the lack of willingness to understand the other side's position is very sad. I'm pro-reunification, but only if Unionists are happy and comfortable with their proposed political and cultural representation of that "new" Ireland. They have generations of history in NI (initially rightly or wrongly), so they need to be acknowledged, as NI is their home. Unionists also need to understand the feelings of Republicans. The British have abused the Irish people for financial and political gain for hundreds of years, including things like mass murder. They made our language and religion illegal and treated us like subhumans. Unionists need to empathise here and understand why a United Ireland is so important to the Irish.

It's nothing to do with being British. The Roman Empire never actually fell. Vatican City, The City of London and Washington DC. The triangle of so called power.

If you go far enough back, we were all Irish in Ireland, and initially Protestant and Catholic fought together to resist English colonization and get them out. England managed to divide and conquer us however by bringing Protestants on to their side, and their way of thinking (including the later Plantation of Ulster) and that is what still echoes today. You do see a marked difference in this video between Catholic and Protestants though, where Protestants are still filled full of hatred and appear to want the dark days of the past to continue, because while both sides have often been living in ghettoised and impoverished areas (historically one blaming the other for that when it was England who was actually to blame) the Catholic side seemingly now just wants peace and reconciliation (even their young teenagers said they wanted this) so it's a crying shame that on the Protestant side, horrible adults are clearly still feeding their young people the filth of what went on before they were even born.

[@JMBPro]

The Irish agenda is seen by loyalists as a thing of the past, the idea of a united ireland deprives Protestant loyalists as what they see as their country (Northern Ireland) and who they are as Northern Irish people. Being classed as Irish is an insult, the hatred is only there because strongly opinionated nationalists want to take it away from them; a war over territory, nationality, and cultural dominance. And with most of the world only seeing a vague narrative of the situation, the automatically think Irish which fuels more anger out of loyalists because they feel their identity is being ignored.

[@simonwiggins8570]

I watch this as a British Unionist. My first thoughts is how drink and drugs have completely ruined urban communities of both Protestants and Catholics. To the young Unionists building bonfires, they likely don't know the meaning of the word Protestant never mind actually be one (a Christian). The Troubles along with modern way of life ruined our working class communities and it should the aim of community leaders to repair the damage starting with an anti-drink, anti-drugs, good education, and hard work message. Rural areas thankfully have maintained the tradition in a much more positive way.

22:56 I notice the caption spells the word as Feinian. Historically in North America at least, it was how those who conspired for physical force republicanism identified and they spelled it Fenian or in Gaelic; Fianna. It was supposed to be connected to a band of warriors from folklore (Sinn Féin didn't exist yet.)

[@shona5512]

I think it would be interesting to see the contrast in opinions from people on both sides in better educated areas vs these troubled poorer estates. Id imagine the Catholic demographic would still be more tolerant and accepting across the board, but there would be a significant increase in the amount of Protestants who are more accepting and open minded, as opposed to the ones displayed here who say they'll never be friends with a fenian.

Scoti was Roman meaning Irish gaels who originally went. Highlands were cleared by brits no surprise. The orange loyalists are a different genetic group from lowland Scotland. Planters. Not the same. They should return to Scotland and the Irish in Scotland should return to Ireland. Simple

[@MarkSmithbasic-ei3ue]

Those oldest Irish are gaels not the planter stock there the last 400 years. Different group

[@MarkSmithbasic-ei3ue]

YT deleted my comments but anyway. I looked that up. Site in Clare predates it now even. Book of invasions also etc. Point being. Before the arrival of Scottish Planters (sent here to replace us, similar to the west today) anyway, before then ireland was settled and made up of gaels. Celts etc. catholics. For a very long time. They inhabited the island. Then Scottish lowland Protestants we’re sent to replace them. If you can see Scotland why is it so crazy to consider moving all the Scots back there and we can move all the Irish in Scotland back here simple. NI is not working. We’ll get over the fact the brits tried to eradicate us. Let’s do the swap and move on. Then sort the other demographics of Europa. Cheers
