this is a good read:

The idea of Catholics and Protestants uniting against mass immigration is, overwhelmingly, one pushed more by Loyalists than by Nationalists, with the former observing both the rabid hostility displayed by Loyalist activists to expressions of cultural identity like the Irish language, and the frequent violent intimidation of Catholics living in working-class Protestant areas as far more of an immediate and existential threat. Indeed, even Nationalists hostile to mass immigration view any coordination with Loyalists as a strategic catastrophe, gifting ammunition to their pro-immigration enemies within Irish Republicanism. But in the aftermath of the North Belfast atrocity, there has for the very first time begun, though certainly not an alliance, then the first glimmerings of a tentative and distrustful rapprochement. The nightmare scenario for Sinn Fin would have been Catholics rioting against immigrants. That did not happen: instead, working-class Catholics merely turned out to watch their Protestant neighbors riot with an anthropological detachment newly devoid of open contempt. I have never until now heard working-class Catholics, from devoutly Republican areas, talking about the coming together of the "Orange and the Green" with anything other than derision. At Ardoyne Roundabout, one of North Belfast's most volatile sectarian interface areas, protestors from both communities shook hands and declared amity in scenes that were genuinely startling.
But this is, ultimately, Northern Ireland, where the age-old ethnic conflict is as perennial and inescapable as the soaking rain that drew the night's events to a close. It is, probably, doubtful that anything will come of the cautious street flirtation, and as July's marching and bonfire season draws close, we can no doubt expect a reversion to the old ways rather than the ungainly new dalliances of 2026. But, nonetheless, there was something novel and unexpected about the occasion: the working-class communities of both sides, accustomed to hating each other, and increasingly estranged from their political leaders in Stormont, for the first time eyeing each other up, from a distance, like awkward teenagers at a disco. Northern Ireland is an extremely dysfunctional country, though very charming and livable for it: it is entirely unique for both communities to find common cause in blaming Westminster for introducing an unexpected source of random, violent dysfunction to unsettle their old and comforting, formalized one.

Damigo is correct here and he speaks from experience since he was involved in Unite the Right at Charlottesville, which ruined the lives of thousands of men. They need to understand that once you cross the line and many of them have, there is no going back. Many of these guys when found will go to prison for life. Their choices are either win or decades of imprisonment now.

I'm not sure how to even take this. It's so politically cross sectional and also incorrect.
So, this person wants to fight mass immigration but then is against capitalism and blames it all on the Jews?
So, we have the marxist, antisemitic, pro-sovereign (this guy) against the powers that be who are also marxist, I guess pro Jew, and anti-sovereign (Labour Party).
What a stew of crap. lol.
This just reflects the real reality of Europe to me.... they are all marxists and most hate jews. It's just that some want the borders controlled and Brussels does not.

Damigo is American. Ignore his point about Jews. Everything else is correct. You must be willing to see it through. Starmer has already said they are going to try and crush these people. They need to understand what tjme it is and that it's already past the point of no return. Go look at those Canadian truckers for another example. Tons of them got ruined and went to prison because they caved and assumed the government would negotiate in good faith. They thought wrong because that's not how these guys operate.

This is the exact scenario where hard men will make tough decisions and women become a liability. Women are not cut out for what is to come.

We are all a product of our experiences and I have seen the depravity of mankind. I have opened a car door to be greeted by a dozen plus human heads. I have seen them lain in piles in front of government buildings. I have been in a torture house and held the knives in my own hands. (I am glad to report that I personally made that house go away with half a satchel of C4.)
We can hem and haw over the likelihood of such things occurring to us. To which I say, look at this poor ******* here. I am 100% positive he did not wake up thinking he was going to end up on a street on his back with a knife sawing at this throat. Unlikely does not mean impossible. I keep a fire extinguisher in my kitchen for the same reason.

It is understood that Mr Ogilvie, who is disabled and has schizophrenia, was the victim of an unprovoked assault.
Originally from Rathcoole, Newtownabbey, he lived in an apartment close to the scene. It is understood he left the flat to approach the attacker, who was not known to him, after reportedly spotting him walking back and forth on the street for a considerable time.
Mr Ogilvie is thought to have asked: "What are you doing?"
The Telegraph understands the attacker, who was allegedly carrying a knife, immediately set upon him in an apparent unprovoked attack.

as if the area needed more explosive fuelThe North Belfast attack happened in a Republican area, about 400 metres from an interface with a Loyalist area. Last year, when Catholics/Nationalists moved into newly built houses on former waste ground at that interface, Loyalists attacked their homes with masonry (see QT).… https://t.co/JSCkH6mRJp
