        I’m not Irish or British, but fow what I know I’d put a bit more blame on UK for the troubles. Don’t invade/colonize a country, don’t get troubles.

          The troubles weren’t just Irish people vs colonial oppressors though, there was a ton of sectarian violence between different Irish groups

            If you mean Catholic Irish vs protestant Irish, it was in the end a byproduct of British occupation anyway

      They had a lot of problems with child abuse. I mean, most countries had, but theirs was somewhat more prominent. One of the less psychotic countries though, I guess.
