How can we know the IRA “won”? The country changed a hell of a lot over the course of the Troubles and by the time of the GFA in 1998 I don’t see how it is so clear that the reforms wouldn’t have also been achieved via other peaceful and democratic means.
What makes it giving up sovereignty? I understand it creates the potential for separation in future but not yet. The devolution of Scotland and Wales happened peacefully a couple(?) of years later, and Scotland may also separate in future.
We've banned this account for breaking the site guidelines badly. You can't post things like "No you fucking idiot" here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48432385), and that's just one example of many.
(This is not about the current comment I'm replying to - this one just happens to be the most recent comment by the account, so I'm putting the information here.)
It also looks like you've been using multiple accounts to comment in the same threads, which is abusive and not allowed.
Calling someone a "fucking idiot" is far kinder than falsely accusing them of being a LLM poster, but I don't even see a flag on the comment which I was replying to.
Do you just have a preference for better disguised insults?

maybe don't build systems that only serve to encourage behaviour which you would seemingly prefer to discourage?
